Entrepreneurship is an essential human behavior that underpins societal progress. Individual economic activity dominates day-to-day behavior in all but a few western societies and cultures today. Most of the world’s population depends on an entrepreneurial livelihood. Without an understanding of the role of the entrepreneur in economic formation and the conception of markets, a basic historical understanding of societal development is limited. Therefore, this course covers the many facets of entrepreneurship and its implications for careers, business, and society. It is designed to introduce the entrepreneurial mindset to students pursuing all University majors.
