Syllabus
This course connects practice and theory, introducing diverse “ways” of doing entrepreneurship and being an entrepreneur. It is based on three independent building blocks, including:
- What is entrepreneurship? This foundational block is about the person, the entrepreneur, and their mindset. It debunks myths about entrepreneurship and explores its diversity.
- How to create value? This block is about processes of entrepreneurship as innovative practices. It will consider the impact of entrepreneurial activities on stakeholders and society.
- How to take strategy to the next level? This block considers the higher level of entrepreneurial strategy, discussing vision and growth through digitalisation and internationalisation.
Based on the expertise of experts from the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship (University of Strathclyde, Business School) and building on the experiences of real-life entrepreneurs, the course exposes learners to theory and practice. It encourages self-reflection in a developmental approach for diverse learners.
