Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course is designed to expose you to the theory and practice of innovation and entrepreneurship in health care and public health. The course is divided into two components. The first component involves reading and discussing cases about entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship, culminating with two written case analyses – one analyzing an entrepreneurial venture and another analyzing an intrapreneurial venture. The second component of the course involves developing an entrepreneurial venture or intrapreneurial initiative. Working in a team or on your own, you will apply the innovation framework introduced through the course textbook and case analyses to a major health care or public health challenge of your choice. Instructor videos, in-class working sessions, and an AI-powered coaching tool will support you as you develop a value proposition, business model, financial forecast, and pitch deck.
