Learner goals and capabilities

In this course, students have developed a broad understanding of entrepreneurship and its leadership role within a new enterprise, the process of developing, testing, and refining their own idea for a business, and the general process of taking that idea and setting up a business.

Alternative start-up methods have also been reviewed and have an overview of the steps involved in planning and starting a new business and allow students to explore and develop their own ideas for an entrepreneurial venture. This is a highly experiential course where students, working in teams, will undertake a real-world case study related to new business start-ups.
