Entrepreneurs, Intrapreneurs and Innovation Social Sciences Program Spring 2023 Semester - Budapest

In previous courses, students have been building a base of knowledge in digital applications and strategy. This course challenges students to apply this knowledge to their own digital startups and develop an active understanding of how innovation and creative processes can be leveraged to achieve tangible and meaningful business objectives. Students must quickly learn how to work effectively in teams and will ultimately present their final pitches in front of their peers and invited professionals. Students will build their own digital startups using the 'Build, Measure, Learn' methodology created by Eric Ries in his bestselling book entitled 'The Lean Startup.' The logic behind Lean Startup is that entrepreneurs must take a disciplined approach to building a business to avoid wasting precious resources that often lead to failure. 'Your Next Five Moves' by Patrick Bet-David offers a more current view of business strategy and entrepreneurship.
