Entrepreneur's Toolkit

This unit covers core knowledge, skills and techniques that enhance entrepreneurs’ ability to succeed in their ventures. The emphasis will be on outlining fundamental principles, context and application and then requiring students to explore these skills and techniques in more detail for themselves. This is because each individual student’s needs will be different, based on their venture, their prior experience, and their natural preferences and abilities.

Students will develop the ability to prioritise their needs, find their own methods for developing knowledge, skills and techniques, and to develop and document their own personal “toolkit” they can use in their current and future ventures.

After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to:

1. Critically analyse the role of negotiation in the entrepreneurial business context, research stakeholders, and jointly analyse problems and create solutions intended to satisfy the parties.
2. Communicate proficiently and in a professional manner, and operate as a member or leader of a diverse group and apply advanced entrepreneurship tools
3. Critically evaluate the legal implications of entrepreneurial business situations and how to seek professional legal advice
4. Apply entrepreneurship fundamentals to the analysis, design and operation of a business model using appropriate entrepreneurship and innovation methods and tools, applied in a variety of contexts.
