Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this subject.
Previous Knowledge
General knowledge on entrepreneurship and strategy is useful as start point of this subject, but not necessary to carry it out.
This is not a entrepreneurship course, but most of the cases come from sucessfull start up's facing growth challenge.
Workload distribution
We organize the subject along 8 different challenges that every growth organization has to reach. For any of this days we will have a guest / case to better understand the issue. By groups you wor individually will prepared the material and we will discuss in class the best outcomes.
COURSE CONTRIBUTION TO PROGRAM
The way of management and growth strategy is quite different depending on the state of the company, one Start Up, a large corporation and a young company in an accelerated phase, needs different day by day approaches and in many cases distinct organizations
This course will give to the participants a global vision of how to scale a company, from a relatively young company to become a consolidated company in the market, we will understand different business models depending on the stage and industry of the company.
Course Learning Objectives
Why do entrepreneurs who succeed in starting a business often falter when they try to expand?
The course focuses exclusively on the needs, challenges and opportunities of growing businesses. We will study the typical problems and opportunities facing these organizations.
We will evaluate how we can, with limited resources, create and execute strategies to move faster, operate more efficiently, and expand the business into new markets. We will know among other things the management systems that must be put in place to support the growth of an organization with these challenges.
Through case study, discussions and guest manager visits, we will share stories of success and failure.
It is an eminently practical course designed for people interested in working in start up's, growing family companies or consulting.
