International Entrepreneurship

QST SI 856

No matter where you work, a small young venture or a large mature firm, your company will soon be sourcing from, selling to, partnering with, or owned by a foreign company. In your entrepreneurially-minded role in a new venture, corporation, or social enterprise, the international dimension of business looms large. In this course, we will explore how entrepreneurship differs by country and how and why context matters in the ability to start and grow new ventures. Next, you will take a concept from a domestic setting and explore why you would expand to other countries, where to expand to and what information you need about that foreign market, who you need to know to make that expansion successful, how to expand to that market, and when expansion can be most successful. Cases and readings will support the development of a foreign market entry plan to help make you a successful international entrepreneur.
