This course emphasizes the three Berkeley Changemaker pillars of critical thinking, effective communication, and productive collaboration. It combines critical examination of entrepreneurial challenges with strategic, ethical, and leadership theories. It develops verbal and collaborative leadership skills, through flipped classroom and intense case discussions, a team project, and a formal final presentation of the project. The case discussions in particular will develop effective listening, real-time analysis, and verbal leadership skills. The project will challenge you to analyze a current or historical ethical challenge in a high technology industry, or analyze the ethical implications of your own entrepreneurial plans.

Class Notes

1) Earning a good grade in this class requires before-class preparation and highly engaged verbal participation when we have case discussions.

2) Case discussions (~75% of the class) require on-time attendance. Unexcused absences and tardies for discussions will directly detract from your grade and cannot be fully made up.

3) Please read the syllabus for a full understanding of policies - this is an unusual class that requires careful listening and real-time learning and response. show less
