Course contents

It is hard to think of a more worthwhile endeavor in organizational management than the creation of new ventures. These organizations embody the spirit, values, and motivation of its founder(s), and many times serve as catalysts for new, cutting-edge products or services. Indeed, some of today's most successful and innovative firms have roots as fledgling, home-based (or more likely, university-based) start-ups: Apple, Google, and Microsoft, just to name a few. However, one cannot forget that behind these stories of triumph lies a long line of not-so-successful companies that simply fizzled away. What makes these two groups of companies different? How much does luck and circumstance have to do with ultimate success? We will discuss these and other issues in this course.
