MS 3436 - The Global Entrepreneur

1 lecture hours 0 lab hours 1 credits

Course Description
The Global Entrepreneur is someone who sees the opportunities offered by the global market to enhance their business opportunities. However, it is not just an individual selling or buying goods and services internationally. Nor is it limited to a one-person shop. A true global entrepreneur can work in a single-person enterprise, a ten-person company, a 250 person manufacturing company or a Fortune 500 corporation. The size of the company is not the issue. The issue is the role of the individual in the company. A global entrepreneur has the vision and knowledge of how to fully involve their firm in the global marketplace. (prereq: MS 3425)
