Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Learn to recognize — and develop — opportunities in business and then act on them in an entrepreneurial way.
Overview
Business advantages require change-makers, disrupters, and insightful thinkers. Innovation and Entrepreneurship embraces these forces of creativity, innovation and process-based refinements. Here you'll learn how to recognize and develop opportunities in any organization, including corporations, non-profits, family, and small business.
Whether you are starting your own business or engaging in corporate innovation, the entrepreneurial mindset is a valuable asset. We want you to learn the entrepreneurial way of thinking.
Entrepreneurial thinking prepares students to react quickly in the business world in order to plan, lead and contribute to new business development initiatives.
