Course summary
How do entrepreneurs launch and grow businesses? How does globalisation impact firms of different types and sizes? Entrepreneurship is broader in scope than traditional business studies. It explores enterprising mind-sets, new venture creation and innovation in the private, public and voluntary sectors. It examines ways in which creative people, dynamic organisations and facilitative environments help to generate economic growth and social transformation. This course provides you with insight into new venture creation and growth, as well as the internationalism of business. We equip you with business knowledge and develop your practical skills through a combination of entrepreneurial theory, group work, business simulation games and interactive projects. Upon graduation, you may decide to use what you have learnt to launch your own business. You explore topics high on the agenda of international businesses, governments, policy-makers, researchers, educators and wider communities. For example:
- business start-up and growth
- strategic entrepreneurship
- the international business environment
- international business strategy
- innovation
- international trade
- economics
- technology
- international human resource management
