New EBIN Module on ‘Software Innovation and Entrepreneurship’
The new academic year brings exciting changes to the MSc in E-Business and Innovation.
We have added two new modules:
(I talked about EBIN526 System Dependability in an earlier blog entry).
EBIN527 Software Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a project-based course in which students, working in small groups, investigate issues that are relevant for starting and managing a software business. Students will learn how to think and act as a software entrepreneur and tackle issues that lie at the boundary of technology and business.
The course is based on a case study of a recently started entrepreneurial software company. With tutorial guidance, students will explore key issues for the success of this software company and develop a business and technology strategy. Students learn first-hand about making decisions about products and business strategy in the software industry. Specific skills are developed such as networking, analyzing competitors, defining a product road-map, and choosing and implementing a software development process.
The most fundamental benefits, however, are that students learn to view software as a realistic and exciting entrepreneurial opportunity.
