Do Good, Have Fun, Make Money: The Ethics of Entrepreneurship

In the midst of the current surge of interest in entrepreneurship, many people are interested in knowing what makes some entrepreneurs successful while most new businesses fail. There has also been an increase of companies that operate on platforms of social welfare and awareness.

In this online Masterclass, Ivy Exec partners with IE Business School and Brown University to give insight to not only the finer points of entrepreneurship, but to what it means to lead ethically, and thus with great fulfillment.

This Masterclass will provide a sampling for how the IE-Brown Executive MBA program brings together capitalist theory and philosophical practices – two ideals that are often at odds, but don’t have to be.
