We will then study the steps taken in developing a strategy and a business plan from an idea stage to the time you create and run a company. We will look at important aspects of the journey taken by start-up and also understand the basics of fund-raising. Students will also have a hands-on experience of running a start-up.

A person’s idea of morals tends to be shaped by their surrounding environment. Moral values shape a person’s ideas about right and wrong. They often provide the guiding ideas behind ethical systems. Ethics are distinct from morals in that they’re much more practical. An ethical code doesn’t have to be moral. It’s just a set of rules for people to follow. In other words, an ethical code has nothing to do with cosmic righteousness or a set of beliefs. It’s a set of rules that are drafted by organizations to ensure employees stay out of trouble and act in a way that brings credit, reputation to the organization.
This module will improve the participant’s ability to construct an Ethics Code for a company or evaluate an existing Ethics Code of any company to find areas to improve it.

Whether you are an owner of a small, medium or a big company you have to trust your employees implicitly. The owners must know that the company is in responsible and ethical hands. Training employees about professional ethics is an excellent way of setting standards in the workplace and teaching your employees the importance of integrity in business. If there is no internal control and audit mechanism in a company the owners cannot assure that the ethics standards are in place and employees are behaving in compliance with the company’s Ethics Code.
Upon completion of this module participants will be able to develop and implement an ethics training curriculum plan for a company.

Entrepreneurship is a much wider concept that enterprise. Entrepreneurship is a mindset; it’s a way of looking at things and being solution driven. A non-orthodox definition is supplied by Machiavelli: Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity, and who are able to turn both to their advantage. So, an entrepreneurial spirit should exist independently of the job or the institution.

Behind the mechanics of a start-up is always an individual who takes initiative, who is motivated, who takes risks and who has the ambition to go for it: that is, an entrepreneur. Assuming you have an entrepreneurial mindset and want to set up your own company, where should you start? And if you have the potential to grow your business and grow it faster, why shouldn’t you do so? The need to show better results (meaning hefty short-term investments) each quarter puts pressure on management. Large numbers of SME business managers who have worked for years without realising their business’s growth potential must wake up each morning, stare at the wall and ask, ‘How do we make this work?’.

Business entry and business exit are natural processes that are inherent to economic life. The word delocalisation is often associated with classical industry and mass production leaving Europe or the USA in favour of lower-cost areas. Digitalisation and changes in the total cost of operation have caused the bleeding to stop and reshoring has become a real option. Delocalisation is rarely associated with new technology- based high-growers. But delocalisation can be part of a survival strategy. More than 50% of enterprises do not survive the first five years of their life and of all business closures, bankruptcies account on average for 15%. Fortunately, times are over where the entrepreneur faced with bankruptcy was forced to stand bare buttocks on the ‘stone of the Failed’ (see cover-page of coursebook) so that the state of insolvency was made public and known to the traders. But unfortunately, the ‘stigma’ linked to bankruptcy is still a reality in Europe.

In a perfect world with efficient capital markets, every viable and sustainable project should find financing. However, many studies show that, despite liquid markets and major government efforts, the financing gap remains significant. This implies a lot of start-ups are not being created and existing enterprises not sufficiently exploiting their growth potential.

Unless you have spent the last few years in outer space you will have heard about crowdfunding and stories of people who raised thousands and millions of euros online in a couple of minutes. Wild tales of having won the lottery with a business idea have become familiar. At the same time, this has generated a degree of ‘fishy’ press for crowdfunding. The presence of more than 500 crowdfunding websites and immediate success-seeking entrepreneurs creates the need to be careful when setting up a crowdfunding venture. While crowdfunding is mainly based on a lot of individuals with not so deep pockets gathering their money together, business angels involve a small number of people who each possess much deeper pockets. Both means of financing, although completely different, are considered together as the informal part of the financial market. Business angels’ funds are not on the same level as venture capital funds, but the latter are managed by a venture capital fund manager (called the general partner) who is investing money that belongs to investors (called limited partners). And that – ownership versus investing others’ money – makes a big difference.
