What is Entrepreneurship?
How do you turn an idea into a business? Experience just that in this course! Entrepreneurship
focuses on recognizing a business opportunity, starting a business, operating and maintaining a
business. Students will be exposed to the development of critical thinking, problem solving, and
innovation in this course as they will either be the business owner or individuals working in a
competitive job market in the future. Integration of accounting, finance, marketing, business
management, legal and economic environments will be developed throughout projects in this
course. Working to develop a business plan that includes structuring the organization, financing
the organization, and managing information, operations, marketing, and human resources will
be a focus in the course. Engaging students in the creation and management of a business and
the challenges of being a small business owner will be fulfilled in this course.
Various forms of technologies will be used to expose students to resources and application of
business principles for starting, operating and maintaining a business. Professional
communication skills and practices, problem-solving, ethical and legal issues, and the impact of
effective presentation skills are enhanced in this course to prepare students to be college and
career ready. Employability skills are integrated into activities, tasks, and projects throughout the
course standards to demonstrate the skills required by business and industry. Competencies in
the co-curricular student organization, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), are integral
components of the employability skills standard for this course.
Entrepreneurship is the third course in the pathway in the Business Management &
Administration Cluster. Students enrolled in this course should have successfully completed
Introduction to Business & Technology and Legal Environment of Business. After mastery of the
standards in this course, students should be prepared to take the end of pathway assessment in
this career area.
