Thank you to so many of you who emailed me asking for clarification. Here are the 2 course descriptions:

International Entrepreneurship (MD844.01), (3 credits)
Prerequisites:  None
Monday evenings, 7:00 - 9:30 pm

The process of launching a venture, or working for an early-stage company is exciting and also overwhelming.  Operating that same business on an international level brings with it an added level of complexity, exhilaration and, at times, frustration.  Over the course of the semester, we'll examine more than fifteen countries on five continents, and analyze operations at each stage of the entrepreneurial process.  Some will end up becoming (or already are) public corporations, larger rivals will acquire others, and some will cease operations entirely.  We'll discuss market entry, forming alliances, negotiations, managing growth and cross-border financing.  Support from local governments, and the cultural, ethical, legal, and human resource issues facing the entrepreneur will also be touched upon. This is primarily a case study based course and each year I develop new content (i.e. cases and readings) exclusively for use in the class.  Based on a successful pilot program several years ago, this class now features dual enrollment each year by students from BC's Law School.  Their contributions to the discussion bring an interesting perspective and dynamic to the course.  Class meets on Mondays, 7:00-9:30 p.m. on main campus (building and room TBA).  The first class will be held on Monday, January 13, 2014.

Entrepreneurial Finance (MM804.01), (3 credits)
Prerequisites:  None
Tuesday evenings, 7:00 - 9:30 pm
Regardless of which career path you choose, a comprehensive understanding of finance is an essential ingredient in the "recipe" for business success.  No longer can the assumptions underlying financial projections be treated as "black boxes." In many cases, the answer is less important than the analytical process used to calculate it.  This course is designed for students who may at some point be interested in pursuing managerial careers in the entrepreneurial sector, and covers the development of financial and business skills to identify, evaluate, start and manage new ventures.  This is primarily a case study based course and each year I develop new content (i.e. cases and readings) exclusively for use in the class.  Based on a successful pilot program several years ago, this class now features dual enrollment each year by students from BC's Law School.  Their contributions to the discussion bring an interesting perspective and dynamic to the course.  Class meets on Tuesdays, 7:00-9:30 p.m. on main campus (building and room TBA).  The first class will be held on Tuesday, January 14, 2014.
