| Course description | Student feedback from the Entrepreneurial Manager Course in 2011 was mixed, with a majority of respondents to feedback questionnaires students preferring a more practical course based on how to create a new business and plan a new business. This new more practical course, focused on how to start a new venture, addresses this need, with the proposed course being run as a core option in Semester 1 for the MSc in Management and MSc in IBEM. The current &«Entrepreneurial Manager&ª course will then be run in Semester 2 instead as an ordinary option. In this way MSc students will have a basic practical grounding on the issues and skills involved in starting a new venture. They can then move on in the second semester to the &«Entrepreneurial Manager&ª which will focus on how to create an entrepreneurial organisations within a large organizational context. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to enhance participants&© understanding of the role of the entrepreneur in the new venture creation process and develop their capabilities to recognise, assess and articulate new venture opportunities; to understand the resources required to underpin venture development and growth; and know from where and how to access these resources. The course also seeks to help participants to develop a greater awareness of their personal goals, motivations, strengths and limitations in the context of venture creation and growth, particularly in the context of forming new ventures or joining a new young venture.
The course will require students to work in groups to create a coherent and viable business concept which will be presented to an external panel in the last class session.
