ENT 78A/B

ENT 78A/B is the capstone for the entrepreneurial major. The first half of this year-long field study course will provide the skills necessary to appraise an entrepreneurial organization. Students will develop an understanding of what drives an entrepreneurial venture, and how such an organization is built and managed. Students will review and evaluate the technologies, processes, capabilities, competencies, functions, and financial and market performance of an entrepreneurial organization. The second half of the course builds on the appraisal of the first half. Students will have an opportunity to develop a plan to implement the conclusions based on the entrepreneurial organizational appraisal, to persuade the entrepreneurial organization to adopt their conclusions, and to help create change within the organization. Students will develop an understanding of the decision-making process that is involved in producing change in an entrepreneurial organization, and have an opportunity to work on the implementation process.
