| 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.

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. |
