The Entrepreneurial Manager (TEM) course highlights the knowledge, skills and attitude needed to exercise general manager responsibilities as an entrepreneur. The focus is on the entrepreneur who builds a sustainable enterprise from scratch. The course aims to teach the approach entrepreneurs use in identifying opportunity and creating new ventures; the analytic skills that are needed to practice this approach; and the background knowledge and managerial skills that are necessary for dealing with the recurring issues involved in starting, growing, and harnessing the value of new ventures.
