Basic concepts and definitions.

“A management and leadership style that involves
pursuing opportunity without regard to the resources
currently controlled.”
(Adapted from Stanford University’s Technology Entrepreneurship course, 2015)
A process.
Involves leadership, creativity, risk, a vision.
Obtaining, generating, managing some resources
Does not necessarily imply creating a new organization.

You will submit the description by email before the classstarts
Be ready to present and discuss your homework.
Classwork 2

You have 15 minutes to discuss:
How are businesses coping with the COVID-19 pandemic?
Is it a good moment to become an entrepreneur now? Yes? No? Why?
COVID-19 pandemic, challenge, pitfall or opportunity?
Choose a representative for the group.
Submit your team conclussions (bullet points) via email ([email protected]), write all the names.
When we return to the main channel, that person will present the team’sconclussions.
Step 1
Come up with at least five entrepreneurial ideas
Individually prepare a card for each, indicating
A description of the idea in few words
An explanation of why you think it is an opportunity
If you solve a problem or generate value for someone, explain what,
whose and how.
You will submit the cards at the beginning of the class.
Make sure you bring them, we will use them for a class activity.
You have two homeworks
Slide 34 is your “theoretical homework”
Slide 37 (Step 1) is your “practical homework”
Submit them via email before next Monday (10/08), keep an
eye on your email.
Both are individual
Form a group and come up with ideas!
