The goal of this course is to explore the role of persuasion and influence (rhetoric) as practiced in early stage entrepreneurial organizations, both in for-profit and non-profit organizations. Creating and communicating a compelling vision is arguably a critical life skill. Entrepreneurs must be able to effectively communicate their vision to a wide variety of audiences. Moreover, in today's marketplace, entrepreneurs must be prepared to communicate in persuasive ways on a global scale. Through intensive classroom work, role playing, and real-world applications, students will explore and participate in transactional, relational, solution, and value-added persuasion.

Successful entrepreneurship begins with a vision. Like an artist, the entrepreneur must be able to translate creative vision into something tangible and real. This course, for both management and nonmanagement majors, is designed to introduce students to the entrepreneurial process so that they may begin to shape their own entrepreneurial vision. Course objectives will include a realistic preview of the challenges of entrepreneurship, an understanding of the legal and ethical environment within which entrepreneurs operate, the ability to develop a business plan, and the skills to think critically and the ability to evaluate opportunities in the business or nonprofit sectors. The course will also include self-assessment activities designed to help students assess their own entrepreneurial potential.

Did you take out a loan (or two, or three) to attend college? If so, do you know how to calculate the return on your investment? What is the best way to maximize your cash flow? What do you need to know to determine an NGO’s financial health? How does a business make a profit but run out of cash? This course is designed to help students learn to answer these types of questions. Students will acquire a vocabulary and working knowledge to better understand "what the numbers mean." Students will be introduced to the art of finance and why it matters. Using this foundation, students will leave the course with the ability to make financially intelligent and informed decisions about personal and organizational finances through the framework of launching a new venture.

A review of global social entrepreneurial initiatives is an important focus of the course.
