New Venture Strategy

This course is open for applications from May 1 – May 31

The course provides students with deep theoretical and empirical insights on nascent entrepreneurship, especially the enactment of new ventures. The setting of the course will allow students to apply this theoretical knowledge and derive strategic implications for the positioning, successful development and establishment of new ventures.

The course will also leverage the entrepreneurial self-efficacy of the participants.

Students will have the opportunity to develop their social and methodological skills by discussing case issues and solutions with their peers as well by applying their new knowledge on group work assignments. Group work assignments, especially on the creation and strategic planning of an opportunity, will allow students to apply their knowledge during the course and to train their skills and develop competences for practice.
