New Resource: Entrepreneurship Course List

MIT has always been associated with major scientific and technological breakthroughs. But the breakthroughs alone do not explain the impact that MIT has had on the world. For that we have to look at entrepreneurship, which starts with the "Mens et Manus" (Mind and Hand) slogan on the Great Seal of MIT.

For faculty, students, and alumni, MIT is all about making discoveries and inventions and then applying these discoveries and inventions to solve real problems.

In a very tangible way, MIT faculty and graduates invent the future, and entrepreneurship -- the building of new businesses -- is often the road to that future.

OCW now offers a new cross-disciplinary course list presenting the core academic materials -- including syllabi, lecture notes, assignments and exams -- from 66 MIT entrepreneurship courses.

The courses are organized into lists that cover core and supplemental entrepreneurship concepts and are also presented in topical lists including finance, law, leadership, marketing and strategy.

Initial courses selected for the list were curated by
MIT Sloan School of Management Senior Lecturer Joseph Hadzima, with input from Bill Aulet, Managing Director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.

Dustin Shell, Learning Consultant, TiER1 Performance Solutions
The YouTube video embedded below was produced yesterday by Dustin Shell.  I'm delighted that he chose to use his iPhone & YouTube instead of the media and tools I recommended!  He reports via email:  "...did all of this on my iPhone using iMovie, a $5 app using the front-facing camera. Took me about 1 hour to record, edit, and publish…not including the revisions…"


Dustin was responding to the following request/invitation that I sent to  him earlier this week because he is co-presenting today 2pm ET April 27 FridayLive! on Lessons learned from 1st try: "Building a Sense of Community in an Online Environment: Boldly Going Where You May Not Have Before..."
