Hello to all my students, new and old. I have missed you these past few weeks and hope you had a fantastic summer. As I am sure you know, Capstone will be half Economics and half venture development. The idea is for you to understand how a business runs, and what outside factors might control the successful outcomes of a business. Further, economics is more than just how a business runs, it includes human resources, politics, law, foreign relationships, globalisation, and a host of other issues.
For my half of capstone we will focus heavily on project management. We all have these fantastic ideas, but how do we make them a reality? Really? Yeah, I am not sure either, but we will learn about it together. Lucky for you I have taken classes in this subject over the summer.
That being said, I am hoping to have a few more guest speakers to help us broaden our perspectives and experiences. It is going to be a great year.
Please spend a few minutes commenting on this blog post. I would like you to share your venture idea from last year. If you are new, go ahead and read the comments of other students, please share any ideas you have or issues you might like to solve. We will talk about these in class after the postings are done.
Looking forward to a great year, Maroonies!
