The Entrepreneurial Experience

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Many entrepreneurs believe that, regardless of formal education, there is no substitute for on-the-job learning. The Entrepreneurial Experience (MGMT 463 in Montana State University's College of Business) offers students real-world entrepreneurial experiences in projects assisting start-up companies. As a student in this class, you'll work with a company to resolve management, marketing, finance, or other business issues. While your specific project content will depend on the company's particular business needs, this course will help you develop reliable thought processes and skills for identifying and prioritizing issues, discerning appropriate time horizons for actions, and communicating with others, which will prove useful in every business context. As you focus your work with the client site and select methods appropriate for your project's demands, you'll develop and practice professional behaviors, meeting facilitation and problem-solving tools, and excellent communication skills. MGMT 463 differs from other classes in its emphasis on practical experiences and useful professional behaviors. To that end, you can view yourself as a member of a start-up consulting firm whose primary target market is entrepreneurial companies. You have just won space in an incubator devoted to developing new consulting firms and services. The professor is the incubator manager, and your colleagues in the class are members of other firms in the incubator. They will serve as your board of advisers, and in turn, you will serve as an adviser to their firms. The company with whom you engage for your project work is your first big customer.
