Content
This course aims to provide students with an overview of how new ventures and innovations come about, how the two are linked, as well as the strategic choices and risks that (would-be) entrepreneurs and innovators face. We also consider the financing of innovative and entrepreneurial endeavours, and the implications that entry and innovative activities have at micro- and macroeconomic level (e.g., in terms of job creation, R&D and creative destruction).
Doctoral students can also take this course.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, you will be able to:
- analyse dynamics of markets characterized, e.g., by new entry, firm turnover and R&D-intensive firms from a microeconomic perspective
- identify strategic choices and risks that entrepreneurs and innovators and their financiers face
- evaluate entrepreneurial decision-making and public policies targeted at innovative new ventures.
