Last year I took a course in Business Creation where focus was on how to spot trends, find new business opportunities and how to realize them. We worked a lot with sequential back-casting, market sizing, customer segmentation, marketing etc. What I enjoyed the most with this course was how I was constantly challenged to reflect outside the box, solving problems with the tools the course provided me with.
The course was given by two teachers at KTH and one of them has now started an online course called “The Impact of Technology” through Coursera (the topic of MOOC in itself is worth a separate blog post!). I just found out that the work we did in the course “Business Creation” has been used as a foundation to start this new online course. As a favour to the teacher, Dr Martin Vendel, I gave some feedback on how to attract students to this online course. It felt great to be able to give some feedback to him as he had been giving me a whole lot of feedback on the business idea I worked on during the course last year.
If you are truly interested in entrepreneurship I think this online course provided by Martin Vendel will be a perfect complement to this Entrepreneurship course you are taking now. It will give you insight and tools to forecast potential impact of new technology which in turn I think will help you realize your future business idea.
