Rationale
There has never been a more exciting time to study entrepreneurship, especially given the challenging economic conditions and shifting governmental focus. Across the world, young entrepreneurial firms are creating new products and services that make lives easier, enhance productivity, improve health, and entertain in new ways. Although entrepreneurial startups are often driven by the passion and ingenuity of the entrepreneurs, applying core business concepts to the startup process can optimize the return on an investment of money, sweat, and tears.
This course will develop students desiring to become successful entrepreneurs, creating opportunities from ideas and starting a business from scratch with a Christian worldview. For those not quite ready to start their own business, these skills will provide an “entrepreneurial” or ownership attitude that can propel a person’s career to new heights.
