| Course Content | In today’s economies, entrepreneurship is the engine of economic growth and prosperity. It is important for you to understand the underlying principles and concepts about entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process. This course covers the personal characteristics and qualities of the entrepreneur, innovation, creativity, opportunity assessment, and the role of entrepreneurship in developed and developing economies. Aspects of the family business, an important part of every economy, are also covered to provide an understanding of their role in a developed or emerging economy.
One of the key issues in successfully starting and growing a venture, particularly if outside capital is needed, is to create a global business plan. The development of a business plan and all of its components with particular focus on the marketing plan, financial plan, production plan, and organizational plan are presented. The various organizational structures available are discussed in terms of their applicability as well as important legal issues. The sources of capital and how to obtain them, starting, managing and growing a new venture, new venture valuation, and building a lasting venture are also discussed. Each person is to develop an opportunity assessment plan and a business plan. The business plan will be presented to venture capitalists and other investors for funding possibilities. Lectures, discussions, cases, and a few guest speakers will make this class a robust, valuable learning experience. The primary goal of this course is to provide an understanding of entrepreneurship and the global business plan. This course will broaden a basic understanding obtained in the functional areas as they apply to new venture creation and growth, the business plan, and obtaining funding. |
