Obiettivi formativi del corso

Il corso si basa sulla costruzione in team di un business plan realistico e sulla sua efficace presentazione ad ipotetici investitori. Le idee di business su cui si basano i business plan sono individuate o sviluppate dai partecipanti. Il principale obiettivo del corso consiste nello stimolare negli studenti la capacità di comprendere e di gestire le principali problematiche inerenti l'avvio e il successivo sviluppo di una nuova impresa, con un approccio orientato alla pratica. Le attività sono dunque volte in primo luogo a creare nei partecipanti una forte tensione verso l'imprenditorialità, verificando e sviluppando le capacità imprenditoriali di ciascuno e fornendo gli elementi cognitivi e manageriali necessari a svolgere al meglio l'attività imprenditoriale. Vengono poi affrontati i temi dell'individuazione di opportunità imprenditoriali promettenti, delle analisi necessarie a costruire un business plan efficace, della criticità delle strategie di ingresso e del controllo economico-finanziario per la sopravvivenza e la crescita dell'iniziativa imprenditoriale.
