Content and scheduling

Politicians, civil servants, and business researchers have long tried to understand why some people become entrepreneurs and others do not. The reasons for starting a company and why some company's success and others fail have been studied through various background variables. In a scientific sense, many answers have been found and entrepreneurship and the mechanism of new company creation have been understood much more deeply. The course in question introduces students to the intention literature of entrepreneurship and summarizes the most important definitions of entrepreneurship. In addition to this, the course introduces a wide range of different background variables that have a connection (and scientific evidence) with the establishment of a company and/or the success of a company. With the help of this course, you will find answers to the most important questions of business operations, such as;
1) What is entrepreneurship?
2) What kind of person is an entrepreneur?
3) Why does one person become an entrepreneur, and another does not?
4) Why do some companies succeed, and others don't?
5) The logic of getting rich in business?
