MSc International Business International Entrepreneurship Sep 2021
BMG936 CRN13607
This module focuses on the growth and development process of the firm from start-up to multinationality. The theories underpinning the module are grounded in entrepreneurship and internationalisation emphasising process and development. Students will be offered the opportunity to develop international entrepreneurship skill-sets that extend across processes and decisions relating to international opportunity recognition, business start-up, and commercialisation, planning for rapid international growth and the rapid internationalisation process, furthering their personal global citizenship journey.
The literature identifies three major barriers to the internationalisation of entrepreneurial firms: lack of foreign market knowledge, limited human and financial resources, and inherent weaknesses in management. In many countries, developing the entrepreneurial capabilities of firms and management teams is a significant public policy objective. Given the potential contributions of small entrepreneurial firms to economic development and export led growth, an international context and focus is highly appropriate. K1 Demonstrate knowledge of the factors, which influence entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviour in an international context.
The aim of the module is to lead students towards an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the international growth and development process of firms from their inception through to maturity as established international firms, with the emphasis on the early stages of international development for new venture and young, often born-global firms. Conventional internationalisation theory is challenged through discussion of rapidly internationalising firms, international new ventures and the born-global phenomenon. The course focuses on key concepts and theories underpinning international entrepreneurship, and how these are applied in practice. In addition, students are encouraged to draw on a wide range of intellectual resources, theoretical perspectives, and practical applications to illuminate and reflect upon their learning in the context of international entrepreneurship, born globals and international new ventures.
Learning outcomes are stated explicitly in the Course Document, and summarized below. On successful completion of this module students will:
