Course content
This course will address management problems and internal/external issues that must be resolved in order for startup organisations to succeed. Through application, the students will be able to critically assess management practices and disciplines and evaluate their potential and limitations in developing organisations. To put theory into practice students will progress from an introduction to general principles into creating an enterprise through an iterative process. The course structure will thus offer students a method of problem solving through an action-oriented approach working in collaborative teams.
Topics include product design, resourcing and organisational imprinting, analysing financial viability, among others.
