Course Objective

It is seen that the practical aspect of entrepreneurship education is not used very effectively in Turkey. More emphasis should be placed on experiential and experiential learning. With the Case Studies in Entrepreneurship course, it is thought that this deficiency will be remedied, albeit a little bit. This course aims to enable students who consider entrepreneurship as a career path to benefit from these experiences by using various case studies reflecting important experiences in entrepreneurship. It is thought that our students will gain important gains through various case studies that will be analyzed in the course and various experiences related to entrepreneurship processes. If students see that people can successfully start companies, they will have a higher motivation and confidence to unravel the mystery of the process and make this option more viable.
