This course was created to expand the student's knowledge of
business through the perspective of an entrepreneur, integrating
all of the disciplines (marketing, finance, manufacturing,

The structure of the course, and the required readings and

knowledge and methodology for identifying, analyzing, and
implementing entrepreneurial opportunities. Key issues of idea
creation, opportunity assessment, target market profiling,
technical feasibility, financial viability, etc. will be addressed.
The student will be able to produce a business plan that will
convince investors, employees, etc. of the viability of the new
venture. The knowledge gained will qualify a student to
successfully start and build his or her own venture.

Entrepreneurship is an integrative
discipline which requires students to be immersed in subject areas
such as marketing, operations, finance, production, management,
etc., all the skills, concepts, information, and requisites
necessary for the creation, growth, management, and harvest of the
venture. Through lectures, class discussion, videos, guest
presentations, and case studies of exciting new ventures, students
will gain knowledge of the process of converting one of their ideas
into an opportunity to build a new, and sustainable, venture.
Preliminary Assignment: Prior to the course start, articles/cases will be posted on CBS LEARN, and are required reading to acclimate the student to issues that will be addressed in the course. Each student will be called upon to share his/her comments on the articles in class. |
