Entrepreneurship is the art of creating change and it is reasonable to say that nothing new of any significance occurs without it. Because of its centrality to innovation and development, an understanding of entrepreneurship is essential to managers in any organisational context. It is very much a current theme in economic, political and social commentary and entrepreneurship, once associated with maverick individuals, is now widely held to be an essential driver of innovation, economic growth and social change.
Students taking the course will develop an understanding of entrepreneurial behaviour, the process of enterprise creation and the issues arising from the changes that it brings. In relation to entrepreneurship within large and established organisations, they will also explore the management challenges associated with corporate entrepreneurship and innovation.
