Using theoretical approaches and
historical analysis, the course provides the skills to understand
the dynamic of business development. The students acquire knowledge
about entrepreneurship in different historical and institutional

develop an understanding of the complex relations between
organizations, individuals and institutions, and of
inner-organizational relations that influence entrepreneurial

important is entrepreneurship for economic development? These
challenges will be discussed using examples from the Art World and
by using philosphical frames of thinking.
