Entrepreneurship & Innovation: Practical Models and A Roadmap for Immediate/Effective Application
Key to our understanding is that the most successful entrepreneurship and innovation will take advantage of the latest advances in technology. In this 21st Century, we are witnessing an era of new long-waves of economic and social transformation that are arising from new advances in digital and sustainable technology. The job of the entrepreneur is to develop new opportunities from these technologies so that they bring new benefits to customers and society. Our course uses both new and classical frameworks to develop the potential of new and inspired businesses that provide new value. Through new thinking and creative work, our course aims to capture and direct the power of the new long-waves that are transforming the economy. Our course is structured around an easy-to-follow roadmap for entrepreneurship and innovation led by the latest ideas, examples and trends. SUPSI (The University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland) has partnered with Unikemia to bring you this new course.
