ENT 450 Strategic Entrepreneurship

3 Credit(s)

Examines the entrepreneurial process as an organic life cycle from new venture creation to growth and harvest. The approach is both conceptual and pragmatic, and integrates an inner (personal growth) and outer (business ecology awareness) focus. Students will develop a strategic perspective on entrepreneurial businesses, beyond the application of functional planning, but rather crossing boundaries as an interdisciplinary, cross-functional activity. The course is ideal for individuals seeking to start their own businesses, and who wish to learn more about the analytic and creative processes involved in developing their ideas to grow a successful new venture in the global economy. Three lecture hours per week. Prerequisite: either ENT 337 or ENT 350, or permission of Department Chairperson.
