Description

Entrepreneurship

This is a participative course in which students are expected to contribute and take responsibility for their own learning.  The learning environment will emphasise students working together to produce short essays (600-800 words) and case study reports for presentation in class.  These presentations will be scheduled well in advance and the topics set will be examples of the questions used in the final test. The short essays must be submitted for comment before being distributed to everyone in the class.

Learning Outcomes

The aim is to introduce students to the content and methods of current research in the field of Entrepreneurship defined to include new venture formation, the growth of small businesses, and relatively new area of 'corporate' entrepreneurship.  The objective is to make students conversant with the literature to the point where they could identify viable research opportunities that would advance understanding of the field.

Prerequisites

Subject to approval of the Head of Department.

Assessment

THERE IS A CHOICE of how you are assessed:  either (a) by final closed-book test (100%) or (b) by an essay (40%) and the closed-book test (60%).  

The essay topic is: “Identify key gaps in our knowledge of entrepreneurship and outline what further research is needed to address these.”  A 3,000 word limit applies to the essay.  IF YOU CHOOSE this option, the essay must be handed in at the beginning of the test on Wednesday 20 June.

The test is on Wednesday 20 June in Room 339, from 9am-noon.  There will be a choice of three questions out of nine, and no question(s) will be compulsory.  The type of question will be similar to those used during the course as short essay topics.
