ENT 262 - Global ELab

This course is designed for students with an entrepreneurial spirit and interest in understanding and examining entrepreneurship outside of the United States. This course will prepare students to apply, compare, contrast and examine business models from a global and international perspective. This course will require students to use problem solving, creative thinking and critical inquiry to examine international entrepreneurial opportunities around topics such as markets, competition, power and political considerations, social and cultural dynamics, ethical dilemmas, resources, sustainability and feasibility. Students will travel to another country and have direct interaction with entrepreneurs and small business owners in that country. They will experience international business operations with local entrepreneurs and small business owners. The trip is a practice-based experience where students will be asked to examine and propose solutions to the challenges and opportunities of the entrepreneurs they work with.

This is a .50 (half unit) course. This means that students can combine this course with another half unit course within the entrepreneurship minor to satisfy a one unit requirement.

Additional fees for travel apply to this course!
