The course provides students with the basic theories and concepts related to Entrepreneurship and Business Model Innovation. The course is ideally divided into two parts. The first part deals with entrepreneurship. After clarifying what entrepreneurship is, we will focus on the techniques and the strategies for identifying opportunities and generating ideas. We will then move to the feasibility analysis to then outline the main structure of a business plan. We will then concentrate on the characteristics of the founding team and on some financial aspects related to the entrepreneurial process. A deepening on the factors determining the growth of the Start-Up firms concludes the first part of the course.
