        Content:
        The current business climate demands that companies - large or small - develop the capabilities to anticipate and respond to changes in their external environment. These changes may represent opportunities or threats for companies. Instilling entrepreneurial behavior into an organization’s practices and culture is a challenge for most established organizations - large or small. It is often assumed that large, established organizations are constrained by bureaucracy and are not as flexible and entrepreneurial as new small firms. There are, however, several examples of large companies (such as Reaktor, Sony, 3M and IBM), which have been able to create and sustain a competitive advantage by being consistently innovative and entrepreneurial. 
        Changing customer needs, new technologies and agile competitors compel organizations to harness the innovative abilities, talents and passion of their employees. In this course, you will explore the foundations of corporate entrepreneurship, learn to develop, design and gather support for new initiatives, determine how to assess corporate entrepreneurship performance and propose ways to integrate innovative behavior into an organization. 
        Assessment methods and criteria:
        The course consists of active participation in class, project work in multi-disciplinary teams and finally on your own case writing which focuses on issues relevant to your own learning process. 
        The course will be assessed by your obligatory participation in the lectures (20%), your teams’ project work (40%) and your own case (40%) - all these written and oral.
