Abstract: The course will present an
overview of entrepreneurship and how emerging innovative firms develop over
time. For every growth stage we will outline the entrepreneurial challenges,
the decision making process and the options available for such decision-making.
Increased attention will be paid to the commercialization process from idea
generation to viable product and financial returns. Along the same lines, the
course has a strong entrepreneurial finance component where we will be
exploring in depth the sources of finance for entrepreneurial firms along their
growth trajectory. The course offers good management practice for students and
encourages and develops small business development skills.
