ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION<br />
Work for yourself. Use strategies to fi nd opportunities and then make the most of them.<br />
Small and medium sized enterprises have a major impact on<br />
growth, as they generate the wealth and jobs that sustain<br />
economies.<br />
Entrepreneurship and Innovation will teach you to identify<br />
unique qualities of successful entrepreneurial business<br />
strategies and to implement those strategies in the creation<br />
of new business.<br />
This isn’t about ‘seat-of-your-pants’ risk taking. A qualification<br />
in entrepreneurship and innovation will give you the skills to<br />
take on an entrepreneurial role, look at niche opportunities<br />
and extract value from untapped areas. You’ll also learn<br />
business skills that cover planning and development, getting<br />
the product to market and keeping it there.<br />

Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is an international organisation<br />
that helps students target social problems and benefit communities<br />
through innovative business. The best projects are put forward in an<br />
international competition.<br />
Over the past few years, <strong>Waikato</strong>’s SIFE students have set up<br />
businesses to alleviate poverty, reduce youth crime, promote ethical<br />
enterprise, and taught sustainable entrepreneurship to school<br />
children (pictured).<br />
“SIFE allows participants to implement classroom theory in real<br />
situations and highlights the endless economic opportunities that<br />
are out there. In recent years SIFE <strong>Waikato</strong> has won the national<br />
competition, and has gone on to represent New Zealand at the world<br />
SIFE competition held in Paris. I was part of that winning team and<br />
so I met students from all over the world who are also active in their<br />
communities. This gave me many project ideas of my own, and really<br />
added to my university experience.”<br />
