Course Overview

In this course, students will examine China’s environment for entrepreneurship and innovation.  Our purpose is to understand how entrepreneurs start and grow businesses in China today, and how mature organizations in this country innovate. By immersing ourselves in this context, we will gain a clearer understanding about the culture, political and other factors that can influence the ability and motivations of entrepreneurs.
