DESCRIPTION
This course provides an integrated strategy framework for growth-oriented entrepreneurs. The course is structured to provide a deep understanding of the core strategic choices facing startups, a framework for the development and implementation of entrepreneurial strategy in dynamic environments, and the ability to scale thoseventures over time.
The course identifies the key choices entrepreneurs make to take advantage of an opportunity and how particular strategic commitments and positions allow entrepreneurs to create a competitive advantage.
The course combines interactive lectures and case analyses focused on existing startups who are trying to operate in today?s entrepreneurial economy. The course draws on a rapidly emerging body of research in
entrepreneurial strategy that moves beyond the "one size fits all" approach to start-ups and instead focuses on the key choices that founders face as they start and scale their business.
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
