This course is focused on developing your competence at two important tasks for the launching of entrepreneurial ventures: [1] spotting opportunities, [2] developing product/service concepts that could be deployed to exploit market opportunities. Entrepreneurial opportunities are rarely discovered through systematic search, yet systematic search can play a critical role in the enhancement of embryonic ideas for new business. Creativity plays a key role in entrepreneurship as it affects opportunity recognition, ideation, and the designing of value propositions. That is why this skills course helps you to develop your creative problem solving skills.
