What You'll Learn

While the fields of entrepreneurship, creativity, and new technology are ever-changing, learning the sound business practices behind these topics prepares one for any changes that lay ahead. Access your entrepreneurial spirit and creativity, and embrace the changes which continue to drive the business landscape of the 21st century with sections focusing on Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Creative and Design Thinking, and Leveraging Disruptive Technology. 

Contrary to popular belief, entrepreneurship is a method, a way of approaching and operating in the world that anyone, regardless of their role, can learn to put into practice in their daily routine. The next section shows how treating creativity as a process also helps one find meaningful solutions for customers' problems. Finally, the section on leveraging disruptive technology dives into artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and communicating with data in an increasingly data-driven world.
