Course Overview
\r\nIt has been said that entrepreneurship is to the company what speed is to the athlete. In the quest for sustainable competitive advantage, companies are finding that lower costs, higher quality and better customer service are not enough. Today, they must be faster, more flexible, more aggressive and more innovative in order to maintain the competitive edge. In Short they must be more Entrepreneurial.
\r\nMost managers would acknowledge this conclusion, and yet few seem to understand what corporate entrepreneurship really is, or how to make it happen.
\r\nIt is these issues that are the subject matter of the Corporate Entrepreneurship course. The so-called \"bottom line\" of this course is concern about how to find the Richard Bransons, the Ted Turners and the Bill Gates within the mainstream of the company... on the shop floor, in the sales force, at the reception desk, in the research laboratory. The focus is on creating work environments where entrepreneurship is not the controversies, and students will be challenged to develop and defend their opinions regarding these matters.
\r\nIt is also a practical and applied course, where students must take their ideas, concepts, tools and frameworks to which they are exposed and apply them both in a series of real world cases to perform an entrepreneurial audit of the company they are working for and also come up with proposals of how their company could become more entrepreneurial.
