Question for the Students' Corner
Dear Students of Strategic Management/Enterprise Evolution,
the question for the fourth Students' Corner is also very simple.
Is there a start-up that you personally know and that you particularly appreciate? Why? Please, think about 3 main reasons.
Again, this activity is not compulsory. But, if someone wants to take action, she or he will be more than welcome at the beginning of Tuesday's lecture (there is no need to prepare slides, we will have 15 minutes to share ideas all together).
Thanks and enjoy the week end.
