Programme Outlines and Overviews

Corporate Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Growth 7.5 credits

Course content

Corporate entrepreneurship is important for businesses striving to renew themselves and take increased responsibility in contributing to sustainability. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with venture creation and innovation within corporate settings. Students will acquire knowledge on how to encourage, initiate, and grow new business ventures by exploring resources required, possible growth strategies, and the management of challenges related to sustainable growth. The course adopts a sustainability perspective on corporate entrepreneurship and growth. As such, students will assess how businesses can achieve not only the financial sustainability they require for survival, but also how this can be done in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. They will explore questions surrounding the responsible limits and alternatives to growth as well as the potential for new business growth to be socially and/or environmentally regenerative. In this course we focus on strategic and managerial issues in relation to corporate entrepreneurship for sustainable growth. **Connection to research and practice** This course centres around a topic where JIBS has a long tradition of conducting research. The course draws on research conducted by JIBS researchers but also on contemporary research in the field. In addition, practitioners are invited to have guest lectures and the course project centres around an empirical live case where students apply knowledge acquired in the course.
