Global Entrepreneurship: Launching a Missional Enterprise.

Catalog description

This course provides tools to help students evaluate and develop new business ideas into effective missional enterprises. It teaches the entrepreneurial process in a cross-cultural context, and the Biblical underpinnings of entrepreneurship. Successful business ventures improve life for customers, provide financially for workers, indirectly support vendors and suppliers and, through taxes, they support local infrastructure and government. On a spiritual level, enterprises teach dependence on God for wisdom, protection, and favor. Healthy companies may also serve missional goals and influence culture positively. But business is risky; losses and bankruptcies are costly. This course aims to improve the success rate of missional enterprises by equipping students with the wisdom of Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs who have gone before them.
