BMGT44870 New Venture Dynamics
Academic Year 2018/2019
The continual creation of new ventures is at the heart of a vibrant economy. This course focuses on the dynamics of new business creation, funding, growth and ultimate harvesting. It exposes particpants to the practical realities of the entrepreneurial process, yet anchors learning within clear framework structures. The creation of new business opportunities leveraged on technological innovation is neither the exlcusive domain of the start-up company nor the established enterprise. Consequently this course maintains a balanced focus between entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship. Ultimately commercialising innovation is a challenging task balanced between an art and a science, between optimism and pragmatism, between dream and reality. The course is structured to focus participants along multiple learning pathways, firstly on the core concepts of new venture dynamics & market adoption of innovation, secondly, on the challenges of screening and investing in early-stage technology enabled ventures, and thirdly on the challenge of harvesting new ventures, with the primary focus on the factors that drive the acquisition of early-stage ventures by larger corporations.Show/hide contentOpenClose All
