What subjects are you going to study?
Business management fundamentals
The programme begins with a block of compulsory subjects which provides students with a conceptual base for managerial action and which is in line with EOI principles and values. These values are considered essential for a competitive global environment and for business success.
Entrepreneurship
- Global entrepreneurship
This course examines the opportunities and challenges for entrepreneurs in a global context, particularly in emerging markets. Students will learn to analyze opportunities, evaluate new ideas, explore the sources of finance, produce business plans and how to implement them. In addition to discussing the range of global entrepreneurial situations, student groups pick one particular market opportunity on which to focus, develop and present a business plan.

This course will explore analytical techniques for diagnosing the competitive position of a business: evaluating business strategies and identifying and analyzing specific business options. These concepts will help the student to design an effective an comprehensive business strategy, but perhaps more importantly the course aims to instill a strategic mindset.
