Course Information
Description
This is a core course in the MS/MBA: Engineering Sciences Program. Launching a successful startup requires a business model that defines the venture's customer value proposition; plans for technology, operations, and marketing; and a formula for eventually earning profit. Students will learn how to design business models that address challenges that technology ventures frequently encounter as they grow and evolve. We will employ system dynamics modeling using simulation software to inform those business model design choices. A team project will investigate business model options for an early-stage startup.
