This course accepts applications from Dartmouth teams with a Tuck student on the founding team.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation Strategy

The entrepreneurial challenge is one of selecting among the many potential combinations that you see, and then organizing the venture, whether startup, corporate, or non-profit, that will allow you to realize your ambition for the opportunity. In this course you will develop a 'Wide Lens' perspective on the challenges of innovation, with a particular focus on the context of innovation ecosystems.
