Graduate Prerequisites: (QSTSI750 OR QSTSI751) - This course is designed to help students to understand the importance of entrepreneurial eco-systems and the opportunities and support given to new ventures within these eco-systems. It provides a mechanism for MBA students to learn how the components of this innovation cycle interact with and complement each other. It will develop unique points of view on the role of Israel as a source of technology innovation and transformation and will present a mirror to examine the similarities and differences to the innovation culture that exists in the USA in general but Boston in particular. It will also develop a framework to identify the components that constitute an innovation eco-system to permit comparative analyses of how eco-systems differ in the ways they support innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g. Silicon Valley, Route 128, Israel, etc.).
