Empowering Business 4

In this course students learn about entrepreneurship and the various areas of business administration and their interdependence while participating in a management simulation game.

Designing Innovations and Products 2

The module empowers students to successfully lead a startup; innovative ideas (if implemented consistently) will contribute to a success in the simulation game (as also in the real world)

Learning Outcome

After completing this course, students can design the process of implementing innovative business ideas - from developing business ideas and market strategies to founding the company and managing the business operations for several periods in a competitive environment.

To achieve this, students • Research and analyze relevant information regarding a new venture • Apply the framework of “business model canvas” to a new business idea • Develop and implement a concrete business strategy • Draft and implement a business plan • Negotiate with potential investors • Take operative business decisions concerning different corporate functions for a new venture over several periods • Find appropriate solutions to changing business environments • Analyze the competition and adapt the strategy accordingly • Critically reflect their decisions when running a business

Students should be enabled to apply entrepreneurial thinking when designing innovations and managing business operations in their later work environment.
