47-918 Implications of Entrepreneurship Research for Management
6 units, Carnegie Mellon University
This course will provide students with an overview of how management scholars approach entrepreneurship research from various disciplines, including (but not limited to) organizational behavior, strategy, and finance. Students in the course will learn about the foundational papers in the field and recently emerging streams of new inquiry. Additionally, students practice a variety of skills such as synthesizing research, understanding research designs, and developing research questions that should prove useful, particularly for students interested in careers in academia. Students will be assigned to read several research articles from a stream of entrepreneurship research each week. In general, students must submit a write-up that synthesizes research findings and discusses research opportunities before each class session. Up to 3 class sessions through the term/mini will include guest visits from entrepreneurship scholars discussing their published research. The final project for the course consists of proposing a novel research study exploring a topic of interest to entrepreneurship scholars / a critique of a recently published entrepreneurship article that proposes new avenues for future research. After completing this course, students will have a baseline foundation for understanding the field of entrepreneurship research from several perspectives.
