Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is designed to broaden the students' knowledge in the field of international business and international entrepreneurship. It considers the characteristics and behaviour of individual entrepreneurs as well as the entrepreneurial organization and entrepreneurial process.
Specific topics include understanding the international entrepreneur; entrepreneurship and innovation as a process; opportunity identification competencies; cross-border expansion opportunities and challenges that entrepreneurs face in an international environment. The course thereby provides students with the opportunity to focus on specific issues facing small to medium sized enterprises, some of which are also family run firms. Students develop an understanding of the constraints and advantages in developing a new venture and managing the additional burden of internationalization, which for some new ventures is rapid or accelerated.

The course objectives are to:
- Describe the economic importance of entrepreneurship.
- Analyse and discuss the characteristics of international entrepreneurs.
- Identify the attitudes, values, characteristics, behaviours, and processes associated with successful international entrepreneurship and describe the role of the entrepreneur in creating value with international activity.
- Consider and analyse the ways in which entrepreneurs identify opportunity internationally, communicate value and manage risk.
- Understand the entrepreneurial organization and the international entrepreneurial process and culture.
- Consider phenomena such as immigrant entrepreneurship; returnee entrepreneurship etc. understand and discuss ethical dilemmas of firms acting in a global market context.
