Description: The rise in people/planet problems such as depletion of natural resources, pollution, poverty, homelessness, waste and an array of other challenges demand new solutions achieved through greening, continuous improvement or Schumpterian innovation. Alternative energy, clean-tech and energy management offer solutions to some of these challenges, but market success and the cost of scaling often requires strong public/private partnerships, technological innovation, and financial capital. This off-shore course explores the drivers of opportunities in the energy domain and examines ways new ventures are applying technologies in wind, water, solar and alternative fuel.

This course applies and expands on Management courses (MOB 8400 and MOB 7559), Entrepreneurship courses (EPS 7500) and TOIM courses (MOB 9525) by examining technology development, new venture entry, competition and strategy at three levels of analysis: country, industry and firm. The course builds on first year Entrepreneurship courses (Mods, 8150) by investigating opportunity creation and recognition, and the potential for new venture creation in emerging industries.
