What prize, then, of an MBA?

Regardless of whether social entrepreneurs want to work for a nonprofit or for-profit, they need a “deep understanding of management principles as they apply across sectors and the globe,” says Tony Sheldon, executive director of the Program on Social Enterprise at Yale’s School of Management. In addition, the current economy demands MBAs with strong backgrounds in results measurement, performance management, financial models, capital markets, strategic planning, and savvy resource allocation. Experience interning or volunteering in a specific social sector doesn’t hurt either.
