On completion of this module students will have:
1. Developed entrepreneurial skills such as ideation, opportunity identification, resilience, dealing with uncertainty and setbacks, and launching a new business;

3. Critiqued different tools of new venture creation and identified when and how to use them in the future;
4. Synthesised literature on entrepreneurship with own personal experiences, thoughts and expectations to garner a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial behaviour in their surrounds
Module content will relate to the processes and activities necessary to create a new venture. These include idea generation techniques, group idea development workshops, the use of relevant business development tools, weekly requirements to research and explore ideas, and carry out final pitches of business ideas. The latter classes will incorporate more analytical, theoretical reflection of what it is to be an entrepreneur. You will be required to engage with industry to research your business idea and conduct your individual assignment. You will be assigned and provided with readings and online material as the module progresses.
Material for the class is released and discussed in the first class.
