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 />

BMS(Hons) student<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 />
