Description Developing entrepreneurial and innovative businesses is very different to managing large established businesses especially in a global context. In addition to exploring the special problems (and advantages) associated with entrepreneurial small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the course will bring together the skills you have acquired across many disciplines. In this unit, you will develop a funding proposal for a real technology, invention or design and pitch that to a panel of potential investors. Topics include international entrepreneurship theory, opportunity recognition and selection, developing an innovative business strategy, and sourcing appropriate finance (whether angel, venture capital, debt or corporate investment). Central to this course is the integration of theory and practice through workshop sessions, group work, and talks from industry professionals.
