MGMT466

This course is the culmination of the Entrepreneurship minor and is designed to offer students an intensive, immersive, and hands-on approach to the study of entrepreneurship, innovation, and startups. The Launch-Pad course involves in-class instruction from top Ramapo College faculty, and a rigorous curriculum which includes classroom lectures, discussions, projects, student presentations, and regular hands-on workshops. As part of this course, individuals or startup teams will undertake the major activities needed to plan and launch a new firm, and actively work to evolve and improve their concepts and ventures. Students may also opt to take on significant leadership responsibilities whereby they launch a major initiative within an existing family business. Throughout this process, students will be supported in developing strategies to overcome challenges encountered and in exploiting opportunities discovered.
By the end of this course, students will have gained a deep understanding of the processes and activities involved in new venture creation, having formed teams, and gone through the steps to actually launch their own startups.
