EMBA 709 Business Opportunities

Instructor: Mark Almeida

Opportunities can occur in existing or new business organizations. However, what is a feasible opportunity? What are the differences in identifying, planning, and executing new business opportunities within existing (corporate entrepreneurship) or new entities (new venture creation/startups)? In this course, you will begin the opportunity recognition process by understanding how creativity can generate business ideas for assessment and validation for business potential. You will validate the opportunity through business planning techniques, as well as understand the constraints created by an existing corporate culture where resources may be abundant or scarce.
