Programme Description
Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurship Programme focuses on the rapidly changing global economic environment and the opportunities for entrepreneurial activities. Much of the programme is delivered through case analysis in a team setting where students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. The result is intra- and entrepreneurial- leadership combined with management skills that translate theory into practice. The programme involves the identification and pursuit of opportunities, marshalling of required resources and their strategic allocation, and management. It is focused on enabling students to be innovators, be it in new businesses, or implement new ideas in established organisations.
