Creating the Founders' Dilemmas Course
- orky56 16y agoI truly believe there will be a lot of great information in this course. My only worry is this will be more of a course filled with the insights of Quora-type questions and less of something grounded in entrepreneurship as a science. I mean isn't this course just a survey and not really much of a sound curriculum? That being said, entrepreneurs who are in b-school tend be a little more risk averse so having a course like this may bring some of these risks (aka dilemmas) to light.
- mkramlich 16y agoWhile I respect much of formal education, as I was reading this article it struck me again just how slow and expensive it is to go to something like Harvard Business School compared to just using your brain and taking advantage of all the amazing free stuff on the Internet. I've read tons of accounts of businesses, founders dilemmas, market studies, case studies, etc. all for free on the web. I don't even have to drive anywhere, fill out any forms, jump through any bureaucratic/academic hoops, etc. Not to say it's completely superior, because it isn't, but it makes traditional university education look increasingly antiquated.
- GFischer 16y agoWhat I'm going to Business School for is not so much the curriculum, but the chance to interact with other like-minded people, get acquainted and also share knowledge and insight (I hope!). It's also very valued outside the enterpreneurship world, if you ever want the job security (not to mention the network you should make, that should give you some job offers). I'm starting in April (at ORT here in Uruguay), I hope it lives up to my expectations :) .
