Description

This course aims at discussing the basic building blocks of starting a business. The course tackles both theory and practice. Though the theoretical part of the course focuses on an entrepreneur's cognitive dimensions, the students will explore by themselves the practical side of starting a business. They will face a certain level of uncertainty and complexity, with which they would need to deal by using the means they have at hand. The course will also allow them to talk to an entrepreneur of their choice and discuss his or her experience. Classes include lectures, discussions, and case studies, which means students can share their opinions and insights. The course also includes group exercises.
