Summary: The purpose of this course is to introduce you to entrepreneurship as a process of creating something new that has economic value to others. We will examine entrepreneurship from the vantage point of history, society, and the individual. Most importantly, I hope to expand your awareness of entrepreneurship as a career option. This course has a substantial communications component. Entrepreneurial ideas are useless without the ability to communicate them clearly and concisely. Our focus will be on written communication. At the end of this course, you will have been exposed to the fundamentals of business writing and learned to edit your own writing for conciseness, logical flow, and clarity.

Summary: The term, entrepreneurship, today might refer to a young academic discipline , or, to a set of activities or practice intended to create a new/renewed enterprise for generating economic and/or social effects. The ‘practice’ conception of entrepreneurship suggests that before there is any business entity that succeeds or fails, there is entrepreneurship; business entity creation or re-creation is an inextricable complement of entrepreneurship. The Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED) concludes, inter alia, “entrepreneurship is a widespread activity in the United States. Participation is as common as getting married or the birth of a baby. About 6.2 in every 100 U.S. adults 18 years and older are engaged in trying to start new firms. That means that approximately 10.1 million adults in the United States are attempting to create a new business at any time .”

Summary:
We are in the midst of a global entrepreneurial revolution. The rate of new venture start-ups, patents, new product and service introductions, technology licenses, and other indicators of entrepreneurial activity is at an all time high globally. It is a democratic revolution, in that it involves men and women from all walks of life and backgrounds. In fact, in the U.S. today, women and minorities are creating ventures at a faster rate than anyone. Entrepreneurship is defined as "the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled". At the heart of any entrepreneurial venture is an entrepreneur and his/her team. These are the individuals with the vision, the tenacity and perseverance, the adaptability, and the passion to successfully implement a novel concept.
