What is entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is the process of setting up, launching and running a business. It is also the act of seeking investment and production opportunities.
Why study entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurs can change the way we live and work. An entrepreneur’s enterprises can improve standards of living, create wealth, jobs and the conditions for a prosperous society. As long as the business world exists, entrepreneurship is an increasingly important area of study across all levels and disciplines.
Strathclyde Business School
Strathclyde Business School was founded in 1948 and is a pioneering, internationally renowned academic organisation with a reputation for research excellence.
One of four faculties forming the University of Strathclyde, the Business School is triple-accredited (AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA) and was the first business school in Scotland to achieve this accolade in 2004. The Business School is home to seven subject departments and a number of specialist centres, all of which collaborate to provide a dynamic, fully-rounded and varied programme of specialist and cross-disciplinary courses.
It's a fast moving field which is constantly changing. Every single day there's a new advancement about this technology, and there isn’t a lot of academic work on it yet, so I spotted my niche and ran with it.
