New Venture Planning

New Venture Creation is one of a group of inter-linked classes within the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship Business Enterprise Pathway and directly builds on other modules such as Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Commercialization. It is designed to provide a practical introduction to business modeling and understanding how new ventures are developed.

The class is multi-disciplinary in nature and integrates within it the main business disciplines. It focuses upon the processes within new businesses but draws comparisons with larger organisations and as such introduces a more entrepreneurial approach to the career patterns of individuals who pursue careers in larger organisations. The class will not follow the more traditional lecture pattern but will be highly interactive with class participants being involved in individual and group activities which will encourage creative thinking and “learning by doing” in addressing the real opportunities and challenges that face the first-time entrepreneur.
