Faculty of Business

This is an interdisciplinary, introductory online course for students interested in understanding innovation and entrepreneurial processes. The course focuses on how people, ideas, resources can be brought together to generate economic, social or cultural impact and change. Topics include entrepreneurial processes, barriers to new venture creation, how to navigate entrepreneurial ecosystems, and social and communicative skills required for resource acquisition. Through approaching entrepreneurial practice with multiple lenses, we will enhance the notion that creativity and innovation can be applied across many spheres of life - including in academic research, nonprofits, government, big companies, and small start-ups. Open to students in any Faculty. Not open to students in first year.
