Entrepreneurship
What is entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is the process by which individuals pursue opportunities without
regard to the resources they currently control. Through this process, entrepreneurs
create something new, whether it’s in an existing firm or via a business startup.
Once entrepreneurs identify an opportunity to create something new, they must follow
a process to bring their idea to fruition.
Why entrepreneurship at OSU?
Our program is designed to help students learn how to identify promising opportunities
and then bring them to life. A promising opportunity enhances someone’s life, makes
a business or individual more efficient or effective, and contributes to society at
large. Our academic program coupled with opportunities available through the Riata
Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship represent an ideal mix. In the classroom,
students will learn the fundamentals of the entrepreneurial process, and they can
then practice and fine-tune what they’ve learned through Riata Center competitions
and experiential activities.
