The entrepreneurship learning support materials in this site are dedicated to help you become more entrepreneurial within your own particular context. This is not limited to those of you who wish to set up your own new businesses, however. Entrepreneurship thrives in many different contexts.

This site provides a wide range of support, advice and guidance to students, staff, graduates, and anyone interested in getting a business off the ground. You may be a social entrepreneur, a creative entrepreneur, trying to innovate in the environmental field or working in product and process innovation. Whatever your entrepreneurial context, these on-line learning materials are designed to support you.

The seven building blocks of entrepreneurship

The learning materials are structured using seven ‘Building Blocks’ that take you through the process of enterprise creation and introduce key management issues encountered when establishing a small business.

Each Building Block is designed to provide you with appropriate learning activities, cases and links to help you develop your own enterprise. We encourage you to work through each of the Building Blocks in turn. You can access the Building Blocks by clicking below.
