Description

The decision to start a business is made hundreds of time each week in New Zealand. In terms of frequency, it is followed by the decision to close a small business. Internationally, New Zealand has a relatively high rate of business start-up, but relatively few of these grow into significant companies. The aim of this course is to develop some practical understanding of the opportunities and problems associated with the start-up and subsequent development of small businesses. This includes considering the unique Aotearoa NZ cultural, community, and business landscape for risks and opportunities in the start-up sector.

Learning Outcomes

1. Validate business ideas by conducting different types of business experiments
2. Know how to make pivot vs persevere decisions in a new business context
3. Gain stakeholder support for a new concept by using compelling communication skills
4. Plan for the ongoing development of a new business and manage the associated risks
5. Critically reflect on the process of developing, refining and executing a new business concept

Prerequisites

Students should have a startup concept that needs to be approved by the co-ordinator prior to commencing the course.
