| Title |
Being an Entrepreneur |
| Description |
What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?
This course takes a fresh and comprehensive look at the entrepreneurial career path as a whole.
More specifically, it covers not only new venture creation but also selected important topics along the career of an entrepreneur.
It introduces main theoretical concepts and themes in entrepreneurship and illustrates the key tasks and challenges that an entrepreneur faces in his/her career. In doing so, it combines academic rigor with practical relevance.
Accordingly, among the main questions addressed are:
- Why should one become an entrepreneur, and why not?
- What is the purpose of becoming an entrepreneur? Becoming rich, solving a social, political, or environmental problem, and/or acting sustainably?
- How can one actually become an entrepreneur?
- Should one create a new venture on his/her own, or with others? And with whom?
- What are possible financing options?
- How to survive entrepreneurial crises?
- When and how might one exit a firm?
Specifically, the course covers the following topics (among others):
- Foundations of entrepreneurship
- Entrepreneurial entry (creating a business, taking over a business, franchising)
- Founder social identities
- Business models and business plans
- Entrepreneurial finance
- Entrepreneurial teams
- Entrepreneurial growth (e.g., portfolio entrepreneurship)
- Entrepreneurial crises
- Entrepreneurial exit
The conceptual foundations of each class will be provided through video podcasts beforehand.
The classes themselves (in-person teaching with physical attendance) will include additional content, case studies, exercises, and open discussions. Also guest inputs and student presentations will be part of the course. |
