Content

After having familiarized themselves with the theory of international entrepreneurship, students will, if possible, work in binational teams on an international new venture project., or on an international venture creation business game. The course will contain theoretical parts, but will mainly be organized around real-life or computer-simulated entrepreneurial processes. All students will have to form an international team (2 UCL students - 2 students from another university) and will be required to complete and present their own new international venture creation project in cooperation with foreign students. The pedagogy will be interactive and will, if possible, include common classes (videoconferencing, travels abroad if financially possible, company visits,'). The last three sessions will be devoted to the presentation and a discussion of the students group works or projects.
