Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- Opportunity Exploration: Students learn about finding technology opportunities in specific business spaces through innovation. Students learn ethnographic interview techniques to uncover latent problems in a market, and explore creative problem-solving techniques.
- IP Strategy: Inventors and entrepreneurs have four concerns related to patent law: protecting their inventions in the very early stages of product development, determining the patentability of their invention, avoiding infringement of a competitor\x92s patent, and leveraging their patent as a business asset. This course addresses each of these concerns through the application of law and business cases to an invention of the student\x92s choice. The course also covers other aspects of IP strategy, including trade secret protection, copyrights, and trademarks.
- Accounting for the Entrepreneurial Firm: Students learn the basic concepts and methods used in financial and managerial accounting to (1) help the entrepreneur make decisions, (2) understand the results of the period, and (3) communicate those results to outsiders. Financial accounting topics include the basic accounting model, transactions analysis, and the major statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement).
- Business Economics for the Entrepreneur: This course provides students with the microeconomic analysis that a potential entrepreneur can use to analyze business opportunities. Students learn the different components of costs and revenues and their relevance for new business ventures and the determinants and measurement of consumer demand. Students also learn the various ways in which firms organize their transactions, and discuss when each is desirable.
