Award in Principles of Entrepreneurship

University of Ioannina, Greece

The Award in Principle of Entrepreneurship module seeks to provide students with a sound understanding of the core skills necessary for an entrepreneur. It provides them with an understanding of what it takes to be an entrepreneur and the mind-set required for entrepreneurial success. It seeks to provide students with the knowledge and skills relevant for the management of new ventures across the entrepreneurial life cycle. This module introduces theory, practice and research into starting and growing new ventures. Knowledge and skill development focuses on start-up planning as well as learning-by-doing through adaptive execution. This course describes entrepreneurship as a process of economic or social value creation, rather than the single event of opening a business. Reflecting recent research, the course focuses on opportunity recognition, assembly of the financial and human resources needed to develop the idea, and launching the new venture.
