The module specifically aims to:

Investigate the range of theories and models that explore and explain entrepreneurial organisations.

Develop an understanding of the varied and changing roles of leaders and managers in the creation and development of entrepreneurial organisations.

Compare and contrast the practices of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial organisations across different contexts.

Understand the nature of, and influences on, entrepreneurial capacity creation and development within organisations and across different contexts.

The module balances the need for understanding relevant extant knowledge with the importance of developing skills to interpret students’ lived experiences within their own organisational contexts and then to plan and implement action for change. This requires developing the students’ ability to reflect and review, interpret and diagnose, compare and contrast, and plan and implement strategic decisions.
