The course introduces students to the content and methods of current research in the Entrepreneurship field.
This course introduces the theories and practices of entrepreneurship. The course examines areas including the role of policy, theory and practice in entrepreneurship.Relationship to other coursesMGMT641 is one of the content courses in the MCom and BCom(Hons) in Management. It not only examines theory but looks at the role of policy and theory in relation to the practices of those who set up small businesses. For this reason, those who have completed MGMT342 Entrepreneurship and New Ventures will find this course extends their knowledge theoretically and understanding of what it is like to be an entrepreneur in practice. Those who have not completed MGMT342 will not be disadvantaged as the content and approach of MGMT641 does not depend on previous study in the areas of entrepreneurship or small business startup. WorkloadThe course represents 150 hours of learning, of which the timetabled classes are but one component. Students will also need to complete the weekly course readings in order to do well in the test and the assignments.
Subject to approval of the Head of Department
