Annotation

Entrepreneurship (from the French “entreprendre”, i.e. “to undertake, to take the initiative“) is frequently reduced just to launching a business and running it. However, the entrepreneurial spirit – the willingness and capability to take initiative in whatever life department – is a key competence, which influences both the work and private life.
This lecture provides both an overview of the basic elements and a broader context of entrepreneurship in its true sense. The lecture builds upon interactive approach and group activities to exemplify all the various aspects of entrepreneurship, be it related to launching and running a company or a non-profit organisation, or just filing a grant application or organising a group of volunteers.
The knowledge gained will help the students to better communicate and cooperate with businesses, to prepare a grant application, or to commercialise the research results, both during their study and during their academic career.
The knowledge gained also helps the students to better understand the business environment should they be employed for a for-profit entity or should they wish to launch their own business or a non-profit.

Evaluation

The evaluation is based upon active participation during the entire term and successful presentation of a student project.

Form

6 blocs of lectures and practice, each consisting of 4 lessons, once in a fortnight. Presence and active participation in the lessons is expected due to the interactive form of work.

Comment

The lecture is in Czech, but at least a basic knowledge of English is needed to work with some study materials.
Literature - Czech
