What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
Entrepreneurial ventures require capital to support business models, grow market share and create shareholder value. This paper explores the core considerations in addressing the financing needs and challenges to support the launch and growth of new ventures. This paper uses two approaches to investigate the issues associated with entrepreneurial finance. First, the paper analyses principles of corporate finance, valuation, coordination and control of firms, government policies, and concepts of entrepreneurial financial management. Second, the paper uses cases on firms at different stages of their life cycle to explain how these tools and concepts are applied in practice.

This paper is offered as a FLEXI paper with flexible online components. Although attending lectures and tutorials is desirable, the choice to attend on campus is yours.
