Thèmes abordés
The importance of entrepreneurial ventures in Europe has been recognized since the 1980s. Moreover, recent changes in the European economy have created new opportunities for entrepreneurial initiatives. Entrepreneurs are today seen as the drivers of the market economy and their activities provide wealth, jobs and diversity of choice for consumers. However, most business school programs are still oriented towards existing and/or large traditional firms. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the specificities of entrepreneurial ventures and to help them understand how these firms are created and managed.

Contenu
In this course, students will learn to deal with new business opportunities. By developing a real-life project, they will be able to identify the involved stakeholders, as well as determine their own role as entrepreneurs. As such, the course provides students with the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial competences such as initiative taking and resilience (the ability to bounce back from failure and to learn from it).
Entrepreneurship is about the detection and exploitation of new business opportunities, i.e. to turn ideas into action in the form of a new venture or even inside established organizations. As such, entrepreneurship is now recognized as a driver of economic growth worldwide. Furthermore, globalization trends have created new international opportunities to be seized by entrepreneurs.
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the specificities of the entrepreneurial process and to help them understand how entrepreneurial projects are created and managed, especially in an international setting. It is organized around four main topics:
- Basics of Entrepreneurship;
- Entrepreneurial methods (Lean StartUp, Effectuation)
- Ecosystems for entrepreneurship;
- Business Planning.
