Entrepreneurship in Business - BUS827

The purpose of this unit is to provide students with an understanding of the process that an entrepreneur employs to develop an idea into an opportunity and then into a thriving, valuable business. Students will understand the entrepreneur from: - an economic perspective – which considers the role of the entrepreneur in the economic development of a nation, region or locality; - a sociological perspective – which considers the entrepreneur as a member of a social system; and - an idiosyncratic perspective – which focuses on the entrepreneur as an individual with a unique combination of personal characteristics and beliefs. Successful completion of this unit will provide students with a macro and micro perspective that will support them in their entrepreneurial endeavours.
