Understanding Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a business-related course that focuses on identifying opportunities, developing ideas and turning those ideas into organised ventures. It introduces students to the knowledge and skills needed to understand how businesses are created, managed and developed.
The course goes beyond simply learning how to start a business. Students also develop an understanding of planning, innovation, enterprise management, business opportunities and the challenges involved in running a venture.
What the Course Is About
Entrepreneurship brings together different aspects of business and management. Students learn to look at problems and needs as possible opportunities, consider available resources and think about how products or services can be developed for a market.
The programme can therefore be suitable for students who are interested in business, innovation, problem-solving and creating or developing enterprises.
What Makes Entrepreneurship Different?
Many business courses focus mainly on the management of existing organisations. Entrepreneurship gives particular attention to opportunity recognition, venture creation and the development of new business ideas, although there is still considerable overlap with other business programmes.
