Participation Prerequisites

Course Content

The Capstone Module is a compulsory and vital part of WHU’s Master in Entrepreneurship program. It includes an excursion supervised by a WHU faculty member. Students consider the Capstone Module as one of the most critical stages of their time at WHU since they tend to get in touch with potential future employers and grow their network. The Capstone Module aims to facilitate an intense and enriching international experience with prominent companies in the finance industry. 

The MiE 2028 Capstone Module will take place from May 9th until May 14th 2027 (Day of arrival is May 9th; program start on May 10th). The destination is Barcelona.

Intended Learning Outcomes and Competencies

After completing the Capstone Module, students should be able to explain how value is created, captured, and constrained in the stadium and live-entertainment ecosystem. Specifically, they should be able to identify how venues turn fixed infrastructure into recurring revenue through hospitality, tourism, events, ticketing, data, and non-matchday use; analyze how new ventures and alternative formats solve concrete problems around attention, utilization, conversion, regulation, or customer acquisition; and compare how incumbents and challengers innovate under different constraints. Students should also be able to assess how local institutions, regulation, urban policy, and business culture shape entrepreneurial opportunities, and reflect on what working in an international ecosystem requires in terms of adaptation, stakeholder awareness, and professional judgment.
