The Social Economy Initiative

e is social value creation, social impact and social change. The SEI is an undertaking of the Marcel Desautels Institute for Integrated Management (MDIIM). The MDIIM's mandate is to foster an integrated approach to management - one that breaks down disciplinary barriers and encourages holistic, context-sensitive thinking about organizations - while focusing on three thematic priorities: health, sustainability and social well being. The SEI launched an undergraduate course in social innovation and social entrepreneurship at McGill University in Fall 2012, its Impact Internship Program in summer 2013, its Speaker Series in Fall 2013 - providing experiential learning opportunities for students inside and outside the classroom.
