MSEI 500 - Philosophy of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Unit(s): 2

An entrepreneurial venture or innovative endeavor is an extension of its founder and, thus, is embedded with the philosophy of its founder. To make meaning with the venture or innovation an entrepreneur should carefully consider the philosophy on which the endeavor is based. This course will introduce students to various schools of thought or philosophies of entrepreneurship and innovation in order that prospective entrepreneurs and innovators can approach their endeavors with reason that informs their passion. Students will incorporate the literature of the philosophy of entrepreneurship and innovation into their own entrepreneurial mission and vision statement and charter of values to use as a guidepost in whatever endeavor they pursue.
