Entrepreneurship - How to create a legitimate business

The virtual part is organized into three sessions. We will start with an introduction to the course, the presentation of the instructors, and the complete outline of the course. Then, an introduction to legitimacy and to Canvas of legitimacy is presented to the students. The virtual lectures continue with the strategies that entrepreneurs can develop to construct their legitimacy, notably by transferring academic research to a usable technology. The objective of virtual sessions is to prepare students for the physical part and to provide them with extensive reading and reflexive works to encourage their critical thinking. Students will then be provided with written material composed expressly for this course so that they can study all the subjects presented in the lectures independently. Explore how to construct the legitimacy of your project through the collaboration and co-creation of business values in order to seize new opportunities
