Inhoud

Entrepreneurship facilitates change in many facets of society. As technology is ubiquitous in modern and knowledge-based societies, technology entrepreneurship contributes significantly to national and global economic wealth and growth. However, to make such contributions, a careful understanding is needed of the business concepts that surround technology entrepreneurs and high-technology startups. In this context, this course introduces the fundamentals on business ecosystem thinking, entrepreneurial strategy and finance, and key aspects of technology management, like intellectual property and technology transfer.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

The written exam counts for 80% of the student's individual score and consists of an open question part (50% of the individual score) and a multiple choice part (30% of the individual score). The multiple choice part is quoted using positive scoring through higher pass mark (Hogere Cesuur). No points are subtracted for wrong answers. However, obtaining point by guessing is taken into account in the end result through higher success limits (cesuur). For example: the success limit for a multiple choice exam with 40 four-choice-questions is 25. In this case, you will need to answer 25 out of 40 questions correctly to obtain 10/20. The specific limits for this course's exam are announced in the exam instructions. Your exam strategy is straightforward: do your best for the entire exam, do an educated guess for multiple choice questions that you don't know or know partially, without concerns on loosing points for wrong answers.

The assignment counts for 20% of the student's individual score.

The use of generative AI for the assignment is limited and is specified in the assignment instructions. Every use of generative AI needs to be recognized and referenced in a suitable manner.  

Assignment results obtained during the first session will be transferred to the second exam session, regardless of the mark. Participation to the assignment in first session is mandatory; not participating results in an "absence" mark on the entire course in the first session and in a "zero" mark on the assignment part in the second session. There is no retake possible for the assignments.
