Creativity, Innovation And Entrepreneurship (Basic Level)

In this  quickly evolving competitive world, it is now clear that those who innovate and use creativity in their roles stand out to succeed while those who don’t use all the resources at their disposal may be overrun by others. This creativity is not something people are born with; it is a skill. Like any other skill it can be mastered and channeled following systematic step-by-step techniques. This course contains a variety of techniques to accommodate all tastes and addresses many angles. If used correctly (and passionately), even a single technique is enough to achieve creativity.

 Creativity leads to innovation and is rightly the essence of entrepreneurship. In this course, students will also learn the basics of entrepreneurship as a career and risk taking for the greater good. Through a case study approach, this course cultivates intentional and systematic competencies in students in order to develop leaders capable and confident of solving problems in academia, life or business settings.
