Description

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 courses
MGMT641 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.

Workload
The 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.

Departmental Academic Policies The Department assumes that you have read this document.

You should also read the General Course and Examination Regulations

Dishonest Practice
The University of Canterbury considers cheating and plagiarism to be serious acts of dishonesty.  All assessed work must be your own individual work unless specifically stated otherwise in the assessment guidelines. Material quoted from any other source must be clearly acknowledged. You must not copy the work of another person (student or published work) in any assessment including examinations, tests and assignments. Any person, who is found to have copied someone else's work, or to have allowed their work to be copied, will receive a fail grade for that piece of assessment and may face disciplinary action which may lead to a fine, community service or exclusion from the university.

IMPORTANT: Where there are concerns regarding the authorship of written course work, a student can be required to provide a formal, oral explanation of the content of their work.
