To analyze real cases for learning: possibilities of impact business models, definition of a customer and a product, difference between clients and beneficiaries, requirements of an impact investor, evaluation as company B, and the exchange theory that establishes the relationship between the impact business model and the solution of the proposed problem. The course is aimed at students who want to start a business or a venture and are interested on having a positive impact on society or the environment, developing solutions that are financially viable and that respond to a real problem.

At La Sabana, contact hours are calculated through a combination of lecture hours and outside activities (which can include workshops, fieldwork activities, guest lectures, and independent work), therefore contact hours may vary on syllabi. La Sabana awards credits based on the conversion - One Colombia Credit is the equivalent of 16 contact hours - therefore, the recommended U.S. credits are based on the contact hours assigned per course.

**Universities may opt to award additional credits for courses taken at La Sabana based on the total contact minutes in a course as students are enrolled in courses that meet for 60 minutes per contact hour versus the U.S. that only meet for 50 minutes per contact hour.**
