Knowledge-Based Entrepreneurship

Application closed

Enrolment Period:

ended 1st of September

This course examines the factors that promote entrepreneurial success in new business ventures. The course focuses on knowledge-intensive and socially responsible entrepreneurship, since entrepreneurial ventures in high-cost economies exposed to international competition, such as the Norwegian economy, need to be based on combinations of knowledge and technologies that can provide sustained competitive advantages and be responsive to the needs of the society.
Students are expected to gain knowledge on how to start a business - generate and evaluate ideas, assess industry systems and potential markets, identify value proposition as well as potential risks and create a valid business model for the new business.

University of Stavanger

The University of Stavanger is situated on Norway’s south-west coast, surrounded by magnificent and diverse landscapes. The charming harbour city of Stavanger ranks as Norway’s fourth largest with approximately 130,000 inhabitants and is known as Norway’s “oil and energy capital”. The Stavanger region is Norway’s most productive area and has been the national hub for innovative industry for several decades, partly owing to the petroleum industry and partly to a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship which existed long before the oil age.
