This module will provide students with a thought-provoking perspective on changing patterns of new value creation around the world. It considers the economic and social impact of entrepreneurs, their interactions with institutions, how opportunities arise and are evaluated, and the role of social enterprise and entrepreneur philanthropy in the economic cycle.

It looks at how culture - national and organisational - creates the environment to support new venture creation and manage risk around that venture. It uses case studies of some of the most globally successful ecosystems such as Silicon Valley, to explore how environment interacts with the innovation process.

It will take students beyond their local known context to think of entrepreneurship in a global, connected context by understanding the drivers and constraints that arise around the world.

This module explores how the emerging technologies of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Distributed Ledger Systems (DLT) are affecting our socio-economic systems.

Students will learn the backgrounds of these technologies and then explore how they are affecting business models and processes as well as disrupting industries by creating new market opportunities. Students will examine how different stakeholders are being affected and how organisations can set strategies in the face of these technologies.

The module will introduce tools and frameworks for various stakeholders to understand how to act through the framing of AI as enabling cheaper prediction and DLT as enabling cheaper value transfer.
