All businesses begin with the ideas of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs identify and explore opportunities, research the resulting ideas, locate and organize resources, and begin to turn the ideas into reality. Entrepreneurship 12 helps students to gain an understanding of the entrepreneurial spirit in the context of starting a small business and to learn the skills necessary to effectively carryout entrepreneurial activity.
