Mathematical Models For Entrepreneurship Credits: 3

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to mathematical models in entrepreneurship and related disciplines. Classes will focus on the use of mathematical models to characterize the nature of various entrepreneurship-related decisions in complex environments. For each topic considered (e.g., R&D investment decisions in new product entry, diffusion, and marketing mix variables), students will examine select examples of scholarly articles. Presentations and discussions are designed to help students understand and critique existing models and stimulate the development of new theoretical viewpoints.
