MSJ 325 (New)

Often overlooked in business coverage, hundreds of thousands of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of the Bangladesh economy by employing millions. This course will teach how to track and report on such enterprises, as well as go beyond the storefronts to understand their sources of funding. In many cases, SMEs are bankrolled by non-profits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). By the end of the course, the students are expected to develop a sound understanding of the small business sector, its symbiotic relationship with non-profits and then acquire necessary skills to cover this dynamic combination in print, electronic and online media.
