Empfohlene Voraussetzungen (prerequisites):

​The course has no formal pre-requirements. Some familiarity with marketing research and/or financial management is recommended but not essential​.

Inhalte (short description):

​The course is envisioned as a venture-creation simulation. Thus, the students will develop their entrepreneurial competencies through an experiential, context-relevant learning experience. For that, we will mix a basic set of lectures with the development of an entrepreneurial project in teams. Classroom activities and assignments will lead the teams in the development and completion of their projects. The course follows the new venture lifecycle, from the initial conceptualization of a business idea, to its planning, funding and exit strategies. By following that process the course integrates fundamental theory and practical application designed to develop the competencies needed to grow a competitive and enduring enterprise.​
