Content
The course concentrates on the specificities of start-ups, young SMEs and born globals and the role of entrepreneurship and strategy for such businesses.
It builds on entrepreneurship theories, growth management, strategic management, international business, and group dynamics.
Similarly, it approaches crises and shocks (“critical incidents”) as windows of opportunities for start-ups and as triggers for change and adjustments.
It refers both to the start-up phase of SMEs, and to subsequent phases of the business life cycle: on how to manage and implement a sustained growth strategy (including the expansion to foreign/global markets) and on how to avoid decline or disappearance of a business.
