BSc Business and Management

In response to the Covid-19 crisis, a lot of organizations are unwittingly forced to change their business models and/or innovate to overcome the immediate threats to their survival. Coupled with rapid technological change and growing geo-political uncertainties, managers with entrepreneurial spirit and know-how can successfully chart a course through the crisis. In fact, many innovative and long-lasting companies were founded during economic downturns, e.g., Uber and Airbnb.

The growing uncertainty presents great entrepreneurial potential. An entrepreneurial mindset is not only crucial for transforming business ideas into successful ventures but also for working professionals. For example, multinational corporations are constantly looking for people with entrepreneurial spirit. Management consulting firms have highlighted that the business world wants people with entrepreneurial spirit
