NBA 5930 - International Entrepreneurship


Spring. 1.5 credits.

Prerequisite: At least one finance or economics class.

M. Goldman.

Entrepreneurial startups and their financing across the globe (outside of the United States) are the focus of the course. Sessions will examine the constraints to entrepreneurs and the ways in which they obtain financing with a particular focus on venture capital and emerging markets. The course will use cases of successful entrepreneurs under the most difficult circumstances and will address entrepreneurship in a serious downturn and networking across borders. In addition to common issues related to starting a business and investing in it, the class will address issues not normally on the radar screen of U.S. entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The course will draw on the experience of investors and entrepreneurs, cases prepared especially for this course, as well as findings reported in the research literature. This course is meant to be in part a practical guide to students who wish to be entrepreneurs outside the United States or to create cross-border businesses. It may be of interest to people working in entrepreneurial environments in other organizations or students who want to get involved in various forms of financing entrepreneurial ventures. Students may use the course to explore development of a business concept or plan outside (at least in part) the United States. There will be a particular concentration on Asia, the role of government in stimulating entrepreneurship and venture capital and the nitty-gritty issues of valuing young and private firms sharing profits, raising resources, and organizing and managing human resources.
