The purpose of this course is to assist in the development of skills, habits and expertise in salient dimensions of new venture creation (especially as it relates to fostering innovation and new venture creation in independent and corporate settings). Because the identification and enactment of entrepreneurial opportunities is critical to creating value, this course will focus on the process of “searching’ for venture ideas, the process of “screening” the potential of these ideas, the process of “planning” that involves developing these ideas into the kinds of ideas that can create real value, and the processes that underlie the startup of new ventures, as well as the growth of these new ventures.
