 Important Notes and Policies

The class will be conducted by a combination of structured lectures, class discussions, case studies and assignments. The lecture is designed to provide essential understanding and insights of global entrepreneurial leadership. The case studies, class discussions and assignments will enhance students’ understanding and therefore develop a mind-set that encourages them to lead in an entrepreneurial way.

Students will need to come to class prepared by completing the required assignments. Students are expected to participate in class discussion actively and thoughtfully.

All written work must be completed in profession style, and follow basic principles of effective written communication: well organized, clearly written and free from grammatical and/or typographical errors.

Students will receive a failing mark if they are absent more than three times.
