Description: Companies are either thought of as small start-ups or large, mature businesses. The small start-up is considered to be the domain of the entrepreneur, where by force of personality, spark of creativity, or bold opportunism, a business is formed ex nihilo. On the other extreme, the large business is considered to be the domain of the manager, where by force of scale and scope, imposition of process, and careful analysis, an empire is sustained and expanded. In summary, the focus of the course will be how to create wealth by buying a small business, putting systems and processes in place to create a foundation for future growth, driving growth both internally and externally, and, finally, selling the business. Students will learn to apply those skills to small businesses with growth potential. Repeatable for Credit.
