You may choose the minors that you relate to most. Once you have chosen a study programme, you will receive more information about the minors you can choose during your studies.Entrepreneurship
In the Entrepreneurship minor, the focus is on the changes in business practices that a company needs during its various life stages. Using the business lifecycle as a framework, the stages of a company's development are explored—from a start-up or spin-off, through the scale-up (growth) phase, to maturity and potential decline. It is the entrepreneur's responsibility to recognise these different stages and take steps to avoid the final phase, decline. This involves examining the entrepreneurial ecosystem, the business climate, and the role the company plays in both national and international contexts. Additionally, what is expected from the entrepreneur in these different stages of the company's life cycle is also considered.
