- Learn to develop and harness an entrepreneurial mindset, capable of identifying opportunities, and building teams, structures and resources needed to scale ideas into successful ventures (Entrepreneurship);
- Explore the art and science of conceiving value-creating strategies for winning in competitive markets, building mastery of tools for understanding competitors, planning, forecasting, resource allocation, and implementation (Strategic Management).
