Description	The Entrepreneurial Project module will enable students to undertake an in-depth entrepreneurial project focused on the student's aspirations. Students will undertake a project focused on their own organisation, an intrapreneurship project (a novel development in a larger organisation) or an entrepreneurial project collaboratively developed with an organisation or mentor supported by UoB and BBS. An Entrepreneurial Project provides students with the experience of developing a proposition while reflecting on the responsible business, entrepreneurship and innovation literature, confronting the tensions of theory meeting real world practice. This 40-credit module together with the Purposeful Leader 20-credits make up the required 60-credits of independent learning based on student research required within the MBA programme.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Design a proposition which accounts for the business cultural, social, economic and political context. Apply qualitative and quantitative data analysis to inform the decision making for a business plan. Search for relevant sources, critically evaluate and synthesise material and/or data to develop a persuasive proposition. Critically reflect and to have a reflexive practice to evaluate one's own beliefs, judgments, and practices. Communicate the proposition clearly effectively. Discuss how to promote an ethical, inclusive, innovative and supportive culture and business practices to generate continuous business improvement for a sustainable future.
