ENTP 6842 - New Concept Development
This course provides insights and tools that will help students assess the viability of new business concepts (a.k.a. those in the very early stages of development). Unlike the “business plan” course where students create an actual plan, this course will help students determine if a new business concept is truly worthy of a business plan. The main objective of the course focuses on understanding problems and solutions from the potential market’s perspective. The value of the problem-solution approach is that it quickly gets to the reason why people buy things: to solve perceived problems. Along the way students will employ various experiential and theoretical learning aids to investigate a series of relevant topics such as product markets, new business concepts and entrepreneurial risk-taking. Max hours: 3 Credits. Semester Hours: 3 to 3
