Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship has been a topic that withdraws attention recently. It is a long step and may change your life. You have to try your best to make your business successful; no matter what difficulties and challenges you may face, the result will bring profit and joy to you.
The business idea is the initial of an ownership career. In Vietnam, many enterprises can not withstand after 2 years of operation partly because of starting from unfeasible business ideas, poor preparation, lack of consensus from stakeholders. Viable business ideas are explored on the basis of properly identifying and promoting internal advantages, combined with making good use of external opportunities. In short, entrepreneurship is a glorious process but also has a multitude of challenges you need to overcome to succeed in order to enrich yourself, your employees, and benefit society.
Through this course, we will introduce you to background knowledge, and the most important content required for starting a business, so you will get clear insights about what needs to be prepared, and what difficulties and challenges will be faced when deciding to start up. From that, it can help you decide whether to start a business with a business idea you have planned.
In terms of expertise, this course will help you find, select, and evaluate business opportunities and ideas, thereby building an overall business plan. The topics of marketing, market, finance, human resources, organization, and establishment of business are also the main knowledge and focus of this subject.
