Digital Media and Strategic Planning in Technology Markets

University of Colorado Boulder via Coursera

Overview

An old phrase in business is "Build it and they will come". If heard at all today it will be ironically, as entrepreneurs too often make things that nobody really wants. Cryptocurrency became a trillion-dollar industry without anyone being able to name a clear use for it beyond illicit transactions. In this second course we take-up the research outputs perviously generated and apply to them strategic planning to include the most effective analytical tools and stress tests to challenge and improve business models. Then we will review the digital marketing landscape to align the given startup with it's most effective channels of communication for business and consumer users. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.
