Entrepreneurship
Throughout your MBA journey, you will develop the mindset and skills of an entrepreneur, learning to successfully create and implement new ideas. This will serve you well in your future career, whether creating your own business venture or working within an organisation of any size.
At the centre of entrepreneurship, you need to be able to work with, guide and influence others. By learning the attributes of an entrepreneur, you will gain the confidence to make effective business decisions and know how to evaluate opportunities.
Through the Responsible and Effective Leadership module, you will learn advanced leadership practices and gain an understanding of how to critically apply theories to your practice. Through the Internationalisation Challenge and Marketing Consultancy Challenge, you will be encouraged to think innovatively, assess risks and devise creative solutions for international business growth, hence strengthening your entrepreneurial mindset. You will test and grow your entrepreneurial skills to create a business plan and pitch that plan to a team of investors within the New Venture Creation Challenge. You will be mentored throughout this module, as well as having exposure to a number of successful entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurship is also one of the key topics you will discover as you embark on the international study trip to Germany.
What an amazing trip our MBA cohort had to Germany! I gained insights into German business culture and had enriching discussions with my peers about "Mittelstand" and the influences of national cultural values on businesses. Many of my assumptions about Germany and family-run SMEs were challenged. It was a reminder of the importance of values in any business, from start-ups like "The Gentleman's" to industry leaders like BASF.
