B63 MGT 521 Introduction to Entrepreneurship 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course is designed not only for the student with a burning passion to start his/her own business, but anyone who believes that entrepreneurial skills are an essential element of business success. "Introduction to Entrepreneurship" is taught primarily via the case method. Most case discussions will be followed by a relevant guest speaker -either an experienced entrepreneur or a professional from the investment community. You will hear from entrepreneurs and corporate managers with an entrepreneurial flair, some who have experienced great success, and others for whom success has been elusive. The structure of this course follows the evolutionary process of a new venture. Topics covered include: Idea Assessment, Organization Formation, Capitalization, Growth, and Exit. Corporate Entrepreneurship also will be explored. This course integrates much of what you have learned in your core courses and challenges you to apply those learnings. In each class you will be expected to make difficult business choices with less than perfect information, dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty, much like a real life entrepreneur. Analytical rigor will be emphasized throughout and you will be expected to have "run the numbers" for each case. A central element of this course is the opportunity to pitch your "business idea" to classmates via a 5 minute "elevator pitch". Those with the winning business concepts will recruit classmates to join their team to conduct a comprehensive feasibility analysis. Your "final" will consist of a formal 20 minute dress presentation of your idea-much like you would pitch your business concept to a potential investor. It is the professors' objective that by the end of this course you will: 1) Better understand entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process 2) Be an incisive analyst of a business and/or business concept 3) Be a more persuasive seller of your business ideas. Note: This course is recommended for students interested in participating in the MGT 524.

B63 MGT 560P Business Models in a Global Context 2.5 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: A business model describes how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value in economic, social, cultural, or other contexts by identifying and choosing among potential revenue sources, customer segments, products, and financing options. This course focuses on developing students' capabilities to articulate, analyze, and improve business models in services industries, where advances in information technology and mobile telecommunications have led to an explosion of options for value creation and capture. China's key urban centers are among the world's most advanced when it comes to exploring these new IT-enabled opportunities. This course requires students to spend a week in residence in Shanghai, which will allow them to access insights that would be difficult to glean elsewhere. The format of the course combines classroom instruction and experiential exercises to build a deep understanding of the following: 1) how to compare existing business models with a given sector and identify opportunities for performance improvement; and 2) how to approach a market entry decision and build a business model that is well-adapted for a distinct cultural and economic environment.

Government institutions at regional and national levels regulate a wide scope of business activities involving the environment, finance, accounting, marketing, human resource management, governance, and mergers and acquisitions. Furthermore, governments fund much of the foundational infrastructure necessary for industry to succeed, including basic research, trade enforcement, transportation, currency, and credit. Managers must navigate the complex intersection between business objectives and the values, norms, and expectations of the societies in which they operate. This course will examine the variations in these values and norms across countries and how they have historically and currently shaped economic development. This course harnesses Olin's unique partnership with the Brookings Institution to access high-level experts on different regions and global issues that are only accessible in the capital area. We will focus on how a better understanding of the mindset, objectives, and operations of these institutions can help managers better shape strategy and activities at the intersection of the public and private sectors.

The specific paths explored in this course include careers in consultancies (strategy, human resources, and economics/finance); 'internal' consulting positions within large organizations; and, 'rotational leadership' and other developmental programs that lead to general management positions where graduates lead business units or firms. Because this platform also is a potential foundation for students interested in the Business of Healthcare, Entrepreneurship, and International Management, there also will be sessions briefly introducing the nature of career opportunities in those areas.
