This course has two distinct but related components. The first explores entrepreneurship as a key input to economic activity. It also reviews numerous perspectives of entrepreneurship and introduces basic tools available for use by the entrepreneur, including the business canvas. The second part of this course explores the relationship between entrepreneurship and strategy. The design of an appropriate strategy and the implementation of this strategy through appropriate controls and structure are considered in the context of the innovative firm.

  • Probably the worst class I've taken at Waterloo. Students didn't give a shit, teacher didn't speak English well and just rambled on reading the slides and curating YouTube videos. Subjective grading, stupid online assignments with typos in them, taught American stuff that's irrelevant to us. So bad.

  • Took it with Mr. McLean. Probably the easiest course I've taken in UW, in a good way. I really liked the prof too.

  • Great course than examines characteristics of a successful entrepreneurship journey. Definitely worth taking as an elective.

  • Boring but easy, very odd structure of teaching

  • Its a pretty bland course but is really bird. The course mainly consists of a group project which you do during the entire term, some book summaries, and 2 quizzes. I probably put in 15-20 hours of work total during the term and ended with a high 80.
