GBUS 8436 - New Venture Practicum

This course explores in depth the practical aspects of starting and running a new venture with high potential. It is run in studio format so that the course is organized around the projects that students are actually working on. The projects themselves form the primary focus of course content. Each week, students will provide updates on their projects and participate in the development of each others’ ventures. There will also be several guest speakers who will provide input for specific projects and engage in discussion with the class on particular issues relevant to the particular group of students and their new ventures. The instructor will also assign readings/materials that relate to specific issues as and when appropriate. This course is recommended for students seriously interested in digging into start-up issues in an experiential fashion accompanied by interaction with practitioners from outside the classroom. (Y)
