Sisältö

Students will work in teams to analyze an opportunity and create a business model to solve a market based problem. The core goal is to gain increased understanding of how emergent innovations translate into commercial reality and might transform society. We survey case examples of both successful and failed businesses and generally grapple with the difficulties of deploying and diffusing products. The class will include live case studies of established and emerging businesses through talks by invited business speakers. We explore a range of business models and opportunities. Students will work on a project originating from their own business idea, or solve a problem provided by a partner firm. The project will develop throughout the term, with multiple reviews, and culminating in a final presentation.
