Content

Based on a number of theoretical concept classes, a scientifically based insight is offered in questions such as: entrepreneurship as actor in society, the life cycle of entrepreneurship, the person and role of entrepreneur in the whole process of entrepreneurship. These concept lessons are complemented with a diversity of practical testimonies by entrepreneurs. These testimonies will take up about a third of the total lectures. Students have to make a report in which they link a number of these testimonies to the concepts seen in class. Finally, students are expected to work actively at the development of a business plan. About a third of the colleges deal with the various questions which should be treated in such plans.
