Team and Or­gan­isa­tion: Entrepreneur­ship in the Glob­al Cir­cu­lar Eco­nomy

About

The aim of this course is to discuss entrepreneurship with a vision for a circular economy where the focus of your product is to rethink, refuse, re-use and recycle? This course introduces the key elements of entrepreneurship including founders’ ideas, background (ecosystem), their product or service (licenses), team organization and business model, stakeholder investment, policy and community values, role models and scaling prospects (business and culture). The course further provides students with the analytical concepts and practical tools that will enable them to realize their circular vision in entrepreneurship in various organizational and cultural contexts. Students will become experts in individual founder strategies through CASE work. The countries of comparisons are Columbia, the US, Senegal, Lebanon, Denmark, Indonesia and Japan.
Each session will focus on the application of a specific model for analysis in relation to a founder case story. Throughout the course students will also be challenged to apply and reflect on personal international experience about team work and knowledge about entrepreneurial enterprise
