Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (Honours) (Co-op) in Winnipeg Canada | University of Manitoba

Entrepreneurship involves generating value by recognizing opportunities and then assembling and coordinating resources to capitalize on them. Those pursuing an Entrepreneurship major explore this process across various settings, including launching new ventures, social projects, managing small businesses, and family enterprises. Key questions addressed include: How does creativity connect to entrepreneurship? What constitutes an opportunity, and how do businesses emerge from recognizing them? What effects does family involvement have on both the business and family dynamics? The Entrepreneurship and Small Business Major stands out in several ways. For instance, it provides a wide selection of specialized electives, such as a course on Entrepreneurial Leadership, inspired by winners of the University of Manitoba’s International Distinguished Entrepreneur Award. Past honorees include notable figures like Richard Branson, Anita Roddick, and Howard Schultz. The program also features occasional specialized courses covering subjects like Creativity, Social Entrepreneurship, and Indigenous Entrepreneurship. Students gain practical, hands-on learning opportunities exclusive to the U of M, such as crafting business plans for acquiring existing companies, creating startups with innovative technologies, conceptualizing new iPhone apps, and designing, presenting, and testing paper aircraft prototypes ('Kitty Hawk in the Classroom'). Graduates from this program have achieved unparalleled success, winning more global business plan competitions than any other institution.
