HUMN 1074 The Entrepreneurial Self

Credit Points 10

Description The Entrepreneurial Self is a Level 1 subject that is designed to develop your entrepreneurial identity by focusing on the entrepreneur (the student) rather than the process. As a student in this subject, you will mainly focus on developing your entrepreneurial mindset through theories of the self and identity including self-image, self-determination, the creative-self, and reflexivity. You will learn about entrepreneurial and creative self-efficacy, positive feelings, and identity centrality as drivers for entrepreneurial behaviour and success. You will also learn about new modalities such as using Generative Artificial Intelligence for entrepreneurial intentions. The skills and knowledge developed in this subject are transferable to your base-degree, career trajectory, and all aspects of life.
