Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovation


Entrepreneurial culture & behaviour
Module:Entrepreneurship & Professional Skills, Semester 1
ECTS: 3
Course learning outcomes: On the completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:
1.Communicate self-reflections;
2.Perceive the various roles and actors within entrepreneurship;
3.Analyse behaviours that lead to and are associated with entrepreneurship;
4.Develop an entrepreneurial learning plan based on a reflective self-assessment; and
5.Build sensitivity towards the cultural aspects of behaviours in a global context.
Description:
In this course, students are invited to enter the horizon of entrepreneurial behaviours and embark on the journey on three levels:

1. Me and my entrepreneurial self. Personality traits and entrepreneurial behaviours. Students will consider and evaluate the role of personality traits in their entrepreneurial intentions and actions.

2. Me and my entrepreneurial development. Students will explore their transitions from apprenticeship into an entrepreneurial vocation, undertake a critical appraisal of their competence gaps, and devise an individual learning plan that will help them achieve their objectives.

3. Me and my entrepreneurial role in contexts. Students will reflect on their potential role in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and critically analyse the reciprocal (and changing) relationship between the socio-cultural contexts in which they are situated and their own roles and identities.
Organization:This course is designed with emphases on process and self-discovery. To these ends, the course is comprised of seven sessions in the span of two months. Students are expected to actively participate throughout the sessions of the course and will be evaluated on an ongoing basis - i.e. five deliverables and class participation. There are no ‘exams' in this course.

Note: The course will also involve the use of video recordings as a means to explore and develop students' entrepreneurial behaviours.

More details about the assignments will be given in the first session.
