Course Description:
We have all heard that the world changes constantly and we must adapt to keep up. But we can also create changes and thus shape our own future as well as influence the world. This seminar introduces the activity of entrepreneurship: creating value across the full range of human efforts—not just in business. We will look at how innovations and new knowledge are created, illustrated through examples both from history and with visits from successful entrepreneurs in the Hartford area. The seminar will be organized to illustrate the methods that entrepreneurs employ. Papers, presentations, and assessments will be used as tools to measure improvement and suggest alternatives, much as innovators practice their discipline. |
