SEMINARS - Description
Identifying and evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities, WhyA common mistake that entrepreneurs often make is trying to promote a solution (i.e. technology or product) to a problem that they have not fully understood and to stakeholders that they have not properly identified and analyzed. Using techniques of divergent and convergent thinking, this course helps aspiring entrepreneurs to identify and examine in detail real and important problems before venturing. At a second stage, the role of stakeholders (customers, influencers, media, the state & regulatory agencies, etc.) is analyzed in depth. This is particularly important for entrepreneurs in health sciences, where innovative products & technologies often face considerable suspicion or even opposition from various groups such as regulators, media, religious groups etc. At the third stage, and only after the problem and stakeholders have been fully identified and analyzed, strategies for devising a winning solution and successfully venturing a business are discussed. This seminar thus offers a comprehensive toolkit for identifying and systematically evaluating new business opportunities. Using hands-on learning and real business cases, it helps participants to apply the same principles in analyzing and evaluating their own business ideas in order to maximize their chances of success in the market. For whomThis course is appropriate for any researcher who is interested in identifying and evaluating opportunities for entrepreneurship, and starting his/her own business.
