Course contents
Leadership and organizing in early-stage venturing has much to do with facilitating relationships as well as establishing managerial roles and structures. The assets are, to a large extent, in the minds of the key people in the team, and the company culture emerges from the way in which team individuals behave towards each other and how the venture is managed. The course therefore gives theoretical and practical insights on how to manage knowledge and networks by covering the following themes: - Relationships and networks - Social capital and trust - Strategic alliances and resources - Leadership and coaching - Group dynamics and conflict resolution - Negotiations
