Who Are We?
"Nurturing Tomorrow's Business Leaders"
Our objective is to foster the growth of students' entrepreneurial abilities by organizing our online and physical bazaar events. Additionally, we facilitate connections between external suppliers, sponsors, and students to amplify entrepreneurial initiatives. The showcased products and services are crafted by IIUM students specifically for the IIUM community.
EntrepWeek is an event at Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences (KENMS) designed to inspire student involvement in entrepreneurship. It's organized by the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Council and Economics and Management Science Society (EMSS) and takes place twice a year, once each semester. 🛒
With guidance from Dr. Fatin Husna, Dr. Arbaiah, Dr. Al Amirul Eimer, and Dr. Amirah our faculty's entrepreneurship and marketing lecturers, the event involves students from entrepreneurship courses at KENMS (Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship). EntrepWeek offers both online and physical bazaar experiences for our students. You can find our e-bazaar on Instagram, Facebook Page, and right here on this website.
Every year, we have two exciting themes: 1. Business Sustainability Months and 2. Ramadhan and Eid Celebration.
ENTREPWEEK’S PROJECT MODEL AND TIMELINE
The EntrepWeek project model commences with the engagement of entrepreneurship students in digital business training provided by EntrepWeek through its modules. Following the training, students submit their business advertisements for promotion on EntrepWeek's website and social media platforms. The resulting promotions generate customers for the students, and they receive their profits accordingly.
ENTREPWEEK’S PROJECT TIMELINE
In terms of the project timeline, each semester spans approximately 14 weeks. The first to fourth weeks of EntrepWeek involve the training of students. Post-training, business registration with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) is carried out to ensure the legal operation of the students' businesses. Subsequently, students begin selling their products or services on their individual Instagram accounts and through EntrepWeek's hybrid bazaar, encompassing both online and physical platforms. Weeks five to eleven are designated as EntrepWeek month, during which students actively sell their products. Business Model Canvas (BMC) presentations from all students occur during this month, and post the 11th week, students prepare business reports, encompassing financial reports and business plans.
ENTREPWEEK’S MODULES
EntrepWeek has yielded notable outcomes, recording an impressive RM 1.6 million in student sales as of June 2023 over a five-year span. In addition to financial success, entrepreneurship students are honored with valuable MDEC Digital Entrepreneurship Certificates, acknowledging their achievements in the field. The program goes beyond monetary gains, fostering diverse skill sets among students, including proficiency in social media campaigns, effective business pitching, and the development of comprehensive business plans and financial reporting.
