Start-ups start as small entrepreneurial ventures, but from the very beginning they have a clear tendency to grow and multiply (scalability). Since they differ from the way of working/doing business in large corporations, it is necessary to gain new insight into the issues of launching and managing a sustainable start-up entrepreneurial venture, and how to enable continuous exposure to innovative activities, introduce innovations (e.g. by using the design thinking approach), use available resources and incentive programs (incubators, hubs, co-working spaces, etc.), and become familiar with different and alternative sources of financing (business angels, venture capital, ethical banks, crowdfunding, etc.). The importance of developing an innovation system and capacity as a necessary platform for producing innovations and constantly discovering one's own creative potential and systematic innovation in order to add new value will be highlighted. The main objectives of this course are to enable students to manage their business and/or entrepreneurial future by integrating the knowledge acquired during their studies and directing them towards designing and managing a start-up project, and to gain competitive advantages in the labor market by adopting and using specific entrepreneurial knowledge and skills in planning start-up ventures.
