The course will create passion and excitement for becoming an entrepreneur. This will be done through inspiring seminars from local entrepreneurs. Live interactive video lectures from world recognized entrepreneurs will also be included. Enough basic material in the areas of teaming and leadership, strategy and management, market and market research, finance, production, oral presentations and funding so that the students understand what entrepreneurship is all about. The course will be taught in a highly interactive format. Only one formal lecture – the first introductory – is part of the course. The remaining formal material is taught using carefully choreographed and integrated self-teaching modules. In-class time is focused on active discussions, team activities and running a computer simulation which emulates a start-up company. Close | 1 | 2 | 0 | 2 | | Total | 18 | 5 | 37 | 17 |
