1 Venture Creation MGT 6165 Spring 2014 Course Syllabus Scheller College of Business Georgia Institute of Technology Jonathan Giuliano Office hours by appointment Overview This course is about creating ventures that are (1) based on or enabled by technological innovation and (2) launched as startups or formed within companies. While covering the venture creation and innovation process from conception to execution, the course emphasizes venture strategy for entrepreneurs, managers, and leaders. (The course uses the term entrepreneur to refer to the person leading and managing the venture creation process.) MGT 6165 takes a multidisciplinary approach to the theory and practice of venture creation. Objectives of the course are to help students (1) understand and apply the strategic process of venture creation and (2) improve their skills in generating and finding ideas for new ventures, creating and identifying opportunities, evaluating venture proposals, designing and planning ventures, organizing resources, staffing ventures, building teams, communicating persuasively (in oral and written formats), and developing systems to control risk and enable growth. The course involves case studies, exercises, and lectures by the instructor and guest speakers. Grades are given for class preparation and participation (30% of the final grade for the course), a project (30%), and two written reports analyzing case studies and making substantive recommendations and action plans in detail (each 20%, total 40%). Objectives Through this course, students should 1. Learn how to create, design, find, assess, and shape opportunities 2. Identify key variables, their interconnection, and their context in venture creation 3. Understand how to evaluate risk and how to shift probabilities toward success for the new venture 4. Integrate people and processes in venture creation 5. Develop a better sense of how to make decisions and execute strategies 6. Develop and present a venture- creation plan 7. Understand their entrepreneurial interest and capacity Giuliano, Venture Creation, MGT 6165, Spring 2014 Course Syllabus, Georgia Institute of Technology, Page 1 of 7

2 Assessment Students grades for this course are based on their mastery of course material and their performance in three categories: Class preparation and participation: Arriving at every class fully prepared, leading discussions in class, taking an active role when others are leading discussions, and making insightful comments that demonstrate comprehension this is the basis for assessing students class preparation and participation grade. The Socratic method is used to determine how well each student understands relevant theory, practice, and implications. This constitutes 30% of the course grade. Project: The elevator- pitch competition requires each student to work in a team of five students who create and present an elevator pitch for a venture that the team proposes to launch. This constitutes 30% of the course grade. Case- study reports: These are two written reports analyzing cases and presenting a recommendation and an action plan. Each report (approximately 2000 words) constitutes 20% of the course grade. Students must write concisely and persuasively. Both written assignments are due no later than the start of class on the date due, with one exception: students with a valid reason for a late submission and with written approval from the instructor before the due date may present a late assignment. For the final course grade, a student s weighted- mean numerical score (comprising class preparation and participation, the project, and case- study report grades) converts to a letter grade within these brackets: 90.00% and higher: A 80.00% to 89.99%: B 70.00% to 79.99%: C 60.00% to 69.99%: D Below 60.00%: F Honesty This course follows the guidelines established by Georgia Tech s honor code and student handbook. Students must certify that all work is their own and must appropriately acknowledge all sources. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, fabrication, falsification, multiple submissions, plagiarism, and complicity in academic dishonesty. Office hours Students wishing to meet during office hours should send an proposing times and dates to meet in person or, if urgent, for a telephone call. Students should receive a response to s within a few hours but should expect that a response may take as long as 24 hours.
