Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset

This course introduces the fundamentals of developing and unlocking the entrepreneurial mindset as an entrepreneur, intrapreneur, or socialpreneur. The course takes a spirited approach to the creation of a framework for identifying methods that establish and leverage an entrepreneurial mindset. The design of this course is for individuals seeking greater understanding of the entrepreneurial mindset. It introduces concepts not only relevant to future managers, marketers, and investors, but also individual contributors in all occupations. The strong sense of initiative implicit in entrepreneurial thinking is incredibly useful even outside of working as an entrepreneur, and the skills gained in this course translate usefully into any profession. Through a selection of case studies, texts, articles, blogs, projects, and presentations, this course provides participants with the tools necessary for applying entrepreneurial thinking in their work and life.

• Encourage the building of an entrepreneurial mindset
