Course Description
The course will elaborate on the entrepreneurial process, examine business owners, and the
essentials of effectively managing start-up ventures and established small businesses. The
course is interdisciplinary, drawing upon invaluable, real world knowledge of entrepreneurs
and case studies. Students must analyze this information and develop the critical
understanding of how business owners create, manage, and ultimately gain profits from
products and services. Readings and guest speakers will introduce the students to business
owners and their unique insights into the achievement of entrepreneurial
success. Entrepreneurs come from every background—all of them share the need to analyze
and develop critical thinking skills, strategies, and most importantly, the ability to perceive
and handle challenges as they arise.
Course Objectives
? Explore entrepreneurship as activity and mindset.
? Further develop critical thinking skills.
? Analyze new and existing ventures for traits that maximize the likelihood of success.
? Enhance your communication and interpersonal skills.
? Encourage potential entrepreneurs in the class with their ventures.
? Establish relationships that enhance and encourage your creativity—Mentorship.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students in this course will demonstrate the ability to identify the critical processes of new
venture creation, growth and development. Students will demonstrate, through the use of
varied learning pedagogies, the capability to select and utilize appropriate frameworks and
tools to identify opportunities and potential problems presented in the creation and growth of
small businesses. Students will also demonstrate the proper selection of management
techniques and legal frameworks to successfully launch new business ventures.

Course Overview
? We will explore entrepreneurs as individuals and as icons, as well as what environmental and
social factors inspire core ideas that lead to new ventures.
? We will discuss the genesis of products and services, including how opportunities are identified
and how ecosystems evolve around ideas.
? We will look at international, national, and local examples of entrepreneurial ventures.
? Hopefully, this course will inspire one or many of you to create your own dream company or to
participate in the creation of a new venture in the near future.
General Approach to Teaching
I designed this course around a variety of key subject areas that I have arranged by date and topic—
we will have a continuous dialogue throughout the semester in class and through the aid of a journal,
you will keep that I have named the "Ne Plus Ultra" Journal. The term is a Latin phrase that denotes
the highest state capable of obtainment. There will be assigned topics, but I encourage you to write
to or about any of our guest speakers, especially if he/she inspires you to strive to reach for your
own highest potential. The topics will derive from the readings related to all things entrepreneurial,
but I also want to know your perspective on the subjects we discuss in class. I want to see tuned in
answers to my questions, so please view this journal as part of our class conversation—I do.
Additionally, there will be entrepreneurial assignments within the readings and designated from our
guest speakers.
Students in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with Students with
Disabilities Services to arrange appropriate accommodations. Students are required to give
reasonable notice prior to requesting accommodation.
Rules of Engagement
Please be respectful. This applies to your interaction with your classmates, any speakers or guests
in our classroom, and me.
Class Attendance and Participation
Class attendance is required. Three absences without prior approval will result in the loss of a
letter grade. Come to class on time. Cell phone use or other devices that disrupt the class are not
permitted. Your active participation in this class is absolutely essential. For each class an
attendance sheet will be circulated. Students are responsible for signing this sheet prior to the end
of each class.
*Check Canvas Often. Assignments will be uploaded day of class and will be due by the next
class.
Determination of Final Grade
Final grades will be based on the following items:
Item: Up to:
Attendance 15%
Exercises 10%
Class Participation 15%
Journal 15%
Group Presentation 25%
Tests 20%
Total 100%
Grade Matrix
A = 95-100% A->=90-94% B+ =>87-89%
B>=83-86% B->=80-82% C+ =>77-79%
C>=73-76% C->=70-72% D+ = 67-69%
* A letter grade of "F" is anything below 60%...Let's not go there.
Testing
There will be a midterm and a final—both of which we will discuss in detail as those times draw
near. I have yet to determine the format. I prefer a mixture of short essay and multiple-choice
questions, but I will evaluate the class as we move forward as to the best testing methods, as the
majority of our class time will be spent in open discussions and with guest speakers.

Group Assignment:
I have presented the class with a variety of topics related to entrepreneurship, which we will
address through the writings and experiences of individuals from a variety of
backgrounds. For the group projects, small groups of students will select among these
subject categories, complete a research project, and create a case study. I will post in
Canvas an outline of how to complete a case study, including how to format source
material. Specifics will be discussed in class and POSTED ON CANVAS, check often.
I want everyone in the group to have a part in the presentation of the ideas, but I am also
aware that on any entrepreneurial team, people have a variety of strengths. In your teammate
evaluations, which will be due at the end of the assignment, I would like an assessment of
your fellow teammates for my purview. I want to see that everyone participates equally and
according to his/her strengths and, even better, contribute in ways that illuminate new skills,
interests, and abilities.
Academic Honesty:
I take this very seriously. I will post in Canvas and discuss in class how I want original
source materials to be cited. Do not cheat. Do not plagiarize. Do not copy. I will not
consider it a happy accident. For further questions about this, please refer to the University
of South Florida's policy on Academic
Integrity:http://generalcounsel.usf.edu/regulations/pdfs/regulation-usf3.027.pdf
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Plagiarism is defined as "literary theft" and consists of the unattributed quotation of the exact words
of a published text, or the unattributed borrowing of original ideas by paraphrase from a published
text. On written papers for which the student employs information gathered from books, articles or
oral sources, each direct quotation, as well as ideas and facts that are not generally known to the
public at large, must be attributed to its author by means of the appropriate citation procedure.
Citations may be made in footnotes or within the body of the text. Plagiarism also consists of passing
off as one's own, segments or the total of another person's work.
Punishment for academic dishonesty will depend on the seriousness of the offense and may include
receipt of an "F" with a numerical value of zero on the item submitted, and the "F" shall be used to
determine the final course grade. It is the option of the instructor to assign the student a grade of F
or FF (the latter indicating academic dishonesty) in the course.
The University of South Florida has an account with an automated plagiarism detection service
(SafeAssignment.com) which allows instructors to submit student assignments to be checked for
plagiarism. I reserve the right to 1) request that assignments be submitted to me as electronic files
and 2) electronically submit assignments to SafeAssignment.com, or 3) ask students to submit their
assignments to SafeAssignment.com through myUSF. Assignments are compared automatically
with a database of journal articles, web articles and previously submitted papers. The instructor
receives a report showing exactly how a student's paper was plagiarized. For more information
about SafeAssignment and plagiarism, go tohttp://www.c21te.usf.edu and click on Plagiarism.
More information on Academic Integrity can be found at:http://generalcounsel.usf.edu/regulations/pdfs/regulation-usf3.027.pdf
Early Notification Requirement for Observed Religious Days
? Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from class due to the observation of
a major religious observance must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in
writing, at the beginning of the term.http://www.ugs.usf.edu/policy/ReligiousDays.pdf
Gender-Based Crimes –
? Educators must report incidents of gender-based crimes including sexual assault, sexual
harassment, stalking, dating violence and domestic violence. If a student discloses in class, in
papers, or to an instructor, the instructor is required by law to report the disclosure. The Center
for Victim Advocacy and Violence Prevention (813-974-5757) is a confidential resource where
you can talk about such situations and receive assistance in confidence. Additional confidential
resources on campus are: the Counseling Center (813-974-2831) and Student Health
Services(813-974-2331).
Students with Disabilities –
? Students with disabilities are responsible for registering with Students with Disabilities
Services (SDS) in order to receive academic accommodations. SDS encourages students
to notify instructors of accommodation needs at least 5 business days prior to needing the
accommodation. A letter from SDS must accompany this request. See student
responsibilities:http://www.sds.usf.edu.
SafeAssign Privacy policy
? In order to comply with privacy laws, students are not required to include personal
identifying information, such as your name, in the body of the document. Submitting
to the SafeAssign Global Reference Database allows papers from other institutions to
be checked against your paper to protect the originality of your work across
institutions. Please follow your instructor's instructions carefully regarding what
identifying information to include. Blackboard Quick Reference Guide - Submitting
SafeAssignments.
University Emergency Policy
? In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for USF to suspend normal
operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction through
methods that include but are not limited to: Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and
email messaging and/or an alternate schedule.
