Course Description

This course is specifically designed for those enrolled in the MSA program.

 

Following the introduction of the HTML (www) in 1993, the world seems to now be in the “Golden age of Entrepreneurship & Innovation.” This Entrepreneurship & Innovation era is sundering the stability of several staid industries – healthcare, education, government and finance. There has also been an uncharacteristic explosion of creativity among accountants, e.g., Thriveal C.P.A. Network and VeraSage Institute. Lawyers, too, are trying to transform the internet from a threat into a valuable tool.

 

Hence, this course focuses on the role of Entrepreneurship & Innovation in service industries; specifically in the areas of Accounting, Financial, Law, Audit and Tax Services (AFLAT Services). First, the participants will gain a deeper understanding of the disciplines and the dynamics of Entrepreneurship & Innovation in the broader context. Specifically, they will learn the tools, concepts and methods of the disciplines and apply them back to the AFLAT Services industry.
