MGT 6810 - Venture Foundations

The purpose of this five-week course is to teach you the foundation skills you will need to create a valuable business idea. We accomplish this task by engaging you on three levels. First, we present a high-level overview of the entrepreneurial system: What it is, how it works, and how, when and where you can plug in to it. Second, we take a hands-on approach and, using ideas from you and your classmates, start you on the road to learning how to think like an entrepreneur. Lastly, since entrepreneurship is a team sport, the classroom is the arena in which you will learn networking skills, and assemble teams whose players have the skills you need to create and launch a business.
