HMG60200 - Entrepreneurship in Hospitality

(3 units)

Investigates current innovative entrepreneurial issues inside and outside the hospitality industry. Topics include: knowledge-based innovation; calculated risk-taking; management of economic resources; market planning; social areas of responsibility and ethics; legal issues; portfolio management; and the political aspects of entrepreneurship. A venture/business plan is developed during the course. In addition to the classroom instruction, students are required to get real-World experience through a practicum in an approved organizational setting for 100 - 160 hours. However, if a student is unable to secure a practicum site, another option such as a project will be made available to them to ensure they meet the course requirements through an applied project designed with the instructor. (International students need to meet their international student advisor for details).
