MSING016 Strategic Management of Entrepreneurial Ventures (aka Entrepreneurial Strategy)
This course provides an integrated strategy framework for innovation-based entrepreneurs. The course is structured to provide a deep understanding of the core strategic choices facing start-up innovators, a synthetic framework for the development and implementation of entrepreneurial strategy in dynamic environments, and the ability to scale those ventures over time. A central theme of the course is that, to achieve competitive advantage, technology entrepreneurs must balance the process of experimentation and learning inherent to entrepreneurship with the selection and implementation of a strategy that establishes competitive advantage. The course identifies the key choices entrepreneurs make to take advantage of a novel opportunity and the logic of particular strategic commitments and positions that allow entrepreneurs to establish competitive advantage.
