ECON 280 - Economics of Entrepreneurship I


Credits: 4
A study of the economic role and principles of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a combination of many disciplines including law, business theory, history, psychology, political science, economics, and in many instances, just plain intuition. Topics covered include the development of various business models, the economic impact of antitrust laws, the social and economic implications of “globalization,” the psychology of management, and an analysis of some current buzzwords such as the “new economy” and “e-commerce.” Students are exposed to the disparate requirements of taking an idea (not necessarily their own) and creating an economically viable enterprise that can sustain itself.

Prerequisite: ECON 100  and/or ECON 101 .

Distribution Requirements: QR, SB.
