Here's a blog post about a company called Skimm - a daily newsletter with worldwide headlines and news content presented in a fresh, easy-to-read way. I consider it one of my favorite news sources. It's mainly directed towards a female audience - so I'm not sure how well it will go over with the crowd in our class :) but it's definitely worth checking out.
In a recent blog post, they are really transparent about their recent growth and success - which is refreshing! I think the end advice is spot on:
NEW ENTREPRENEUR LESSON OF THE DAY:
Get to know your audience really well in order to find new ways to grow your business. And hire people who tell you what their job will be.
The Purpose Of This Blog is to allow its members to post, edit and comment on Entrepreneurial Praxis- the interaction between the Theories of Entrepreneurship and The Practices of the domain. In doing so members will demonstrate their reflective capacity to read the 'world' of entrepreneurship rather than merely read the 'word' of entrepreneurship. This Freierian distinction is pertinent to the idea of education and learning being about emancipatory and NOT merely utilitarian projects.
Thanks Jenn ! It definitely worth it !
ReplyDeleteLet me suggest you
(taking the part of the male side of the class :D ) the blog of Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. It's mostly about sport's entrepreneurship, but is very interesting as well.
