Management 343 - New Venture Org & Growth

This course addresses the issues an entrepreneur must navigate to turn an idea into a vibrant business. Students learn how entrepreneurs form companies, build teams, secure intellectual property and develop a corporate culture. Throughout the course, particular attention is paid to ?people issues? such as founder relations and the dynamic between the CEO and board of directors. Students also see that the entrepreneurial journey can become rocky when competitors try to block key hires, when the party on the other side of the table is a corporate giant and when cash gets tight. The course ends on an upbeat note when the business is to be sold for a sizeable payday. New Venture Organizing and Growth will be a required course for those Isenberg students who wish to qualify for a concentration in entrepreneurship.
