Outline and objectives

The global economy is based on value creation, and at the heart of value creation is entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship comes in many forms and takes many shapes from the moment a new business idea is formed. The path of an entrepreneur is never a straight line and will go through many challenges and paths to growth. Not all ventures succeed, and this course is designed to let students discover and experience the many facets of entrepreneurship. As ventures grow, their strategy and the leadership skills necessary will change. Through a series of cases, material provided in advance, a venture simulation along with preparation assignments/questions and presentations students will virtually experience the six or seven stages of an entrepreneurial venture

Goal

1. To understand how entrepreneurial ventures and strategies change as they grow

2. To develop deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills and a framework for evaluating venture ideas

3. To learn to recognize the types of leadership and relevant skills necessary at each stage of growth of an entrepreneurial venture

4. To experience communication, teamwork, strategy building, and leadership practice just as in a real life venture
