This course serves as a bridge between the realms of entrepreneurship and strategy. The connection is an easy one: Entrepreneurship involves all of the activities involved in seizing the opportunities inherent in new ventures while strategic planning provides the tools by which these opportunities might be discovered. Strategic planning is routinely performed by large organizations, but is often overlooked by start-up or entrepreneurial firms. Conversely, entrepreneurship is rarely a problem for new companies, but is sometimes ignored by larger, mature organizations. The premise underlying this course is that both entrepreneurship and strategic analysis are required for all firms, regardless of their size and maturity.
