ventures inside existing corporations and de novo start-ups in the
manufacturing realm. You will learn what personality
characteristics are important and effective in each of these
settings and where you fit. You will learn the risks and rewards of
each approach. You will acquire the tools required to develop a
business plan. Course content will enable you to answer the most
frequently asked questions about entrepreneurship. Examples,
exercises, and cases will be drawn from a manufacturing
