MANT 301 is intended to provide a strategic and integrative perspective on entrepreneurial thinking, formulation and implementation of innovation strategies, and managing innovation to gain competitive advantage. It is designed to help students develop strong theoretical foundations and meet the needs of future entrepreneurs who must develop analytical skills to ensure effective business activities in order to respond to dynamic environments.
