Entrepreneurial Skills
Course · 1.5 credits
Description
The course consists of 3 days of online studies and 2 days of onsite team work.
The online studies consist of 4 modules:
1. Entrepreneurship and its role in society
This is an introductory module, which aims at creating an understanding of different kinds of entrepreneurship (social and for profit) and their role in today’s society.
2. The entrepreneurial process
This module explains the entrepreneurial process from idea to reality. It contrasts it to the managerial process. The entrepreneurial process is presented as a decision making method, which constitutes a different way of thinking compared to the managerial decision making method.
3. The entrepreneurial mindset and the role of creativity
This module explains the cognitive dimensions of the entrepreneurial mindset, i.e. the ability to rapidly sense, act, and mobilize. In addition, creativity is explained and discussed as a quality that could be fostered. Some tools to enhance creativity and the entrepreneurial mindset will be presented.
4. Team work
The dynamics that evolves over time when individuals are put into teams could create functional or dysfunctional teams. This module explains the development process of a team, and presents some tools to help create a well functional one.
The online studies are followed by an onsite gathering at Lund University where students are required to apply the knowledge gained in the online modules. Students are required, through team work, to create a solution to a challenge and start the implementation phase. They will apply the entrepreneurial process, act and try to mobilize resources to
implement their solution. In this process they will need to apply an entrepreneurial mindset and creativity in order to solve problems and handle dilemmas that come in their way.
