Course Objectives: | The goal of this course is to help you learn to perceive multiple possibilities when considering an issue rather than being limited to routine responses! The applied focus of this volume targets the synergistic process of developing creative problem-solving strategies especially for business models and entrepreneur ideas to stimulate higher levels of creativity. A presentation of theoretical approaches to the creative process is followed by concrete examples of how others have applied creative solutions to specific problems in small groups, organizations, small businesses and entrepreneurs. By this way the course will bring theory together with the practical giving much importance to the practical development and knowledge. The course will depend on the the effective interaction between the instructor and students. By the end of the course the students will be able to realize creative solutions to different business or marketing problems within the light of creative thinking strategies. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. This course provides an overview of the major theories and current issues in the field of creativity. II. Demonstrate specific techniques for enhancing their own creative abilities and communicate their ideas for new business models and entreprenues with confidence. III. An increased understanding of the creative person, the creative process and the techniques for enhancing creative functioning. IV. Identify their own creative strengths and weaknesses. |
