ENTR 37505 Innovation

This course introduces students to the innovative entrepreneurial thinking process through eight fundamental concepts of, choice, opportunity, action, knowledge, wealth, brand, community, and persistence. With these concepts, the course allows students the opportunity to learn through experiential learning methods, using an array of entrepreneurial thinking processes and approaches for identifying problems, finding solutions, and making connections beyond the classroom, helping them to think like an entrepreneur. The course will enable students to learn directly from the firsthand knowledge and experience drawn from a wide variety of successful, “unlikely” entrepreneurs—ordinary people who transformed a simple idea into a sustainable success. The course will empower students to take ownership of their future while helping students to develop the attitudes, skills, and behaviors that will enable them to succeed not only as an entrepreneur, but in life.
