Course Overview: This course discusses the challenge of global entrepreneurship and the opportunities for it in a world in which the economic and cultural context is rapidly changing. It begins with an overview of these changes and a description of the particular challenges in the rapidly growing and changing major markets of the Eurozone, China, India, Eastern Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Latin America and other smaller but significant market areas. It will discuss different approaches to global entrepreneurship, the influences of macro forces, such as economic trends, cultural issues, political and regulatory environments, and other issues. It will assume a knowledge of the basic issues in domestic entrepreneurship such as: opportunity recognition, team building, fundraising, marketing, financing, organizational governance, ethical and regulatory issues, and social and environmental issues, but the course will show how these issues might be different in the different political, economic, regulatory, cultural, and religious environments.
