Developing Innovative Ideas for New Companies: The First Step in Entrepreneurship

This course helps aspiring entrepreneurs to turn great ideas into great businesses. Strong economies offer great opportunities for new venture creation. However, challenging economic times force many to take on their own jobs. This makes it more important to learn the skills necessary to identify and pursue innovative business opportunities.

You will be able to identify and analyze new venture opportunities, improve your entrepreneurial mindset, make strategic decisions, and build innovative business models using proven methods and content. We aim to simplify the startup process and give you the tools to recognize and take advantage of future opportunities. This course will give students a taste of the techniques and ideas explored in the University of Maryland's 100% online master's degree program in technology entrepreneurship.
