Course Description |
Despite the richness of resources available, most start-up or business ideas fail before they reach a profitable stage. In consideration of this, the module is designed to highlight the possible contemporary issues, challenges, and opportunities that entrepreneurs and small businesses (both B2B and B2C) might face. The class material will focus on tools and techniques to create, manage, and sustain successful business ideas by discussing different marketing platforms, what those offer and what route to pursue.
It aims to engage students in a highly dynamic class environment where they are expected to exchange ideas and take part in round table discussions. A combination of reading materials, videos and case studies will be shared with students as well as they will also be expected to bring in such material to the class.
Instead of the traditional lecturing style, the classes will be facilitated by the instructor and evolve around round table discussions where everyone is encouraged to share and discuss their opinions. Please note, this class is not designed as a general entrepreneurial module but focuses on solely marketing perspective.

Course Description in Turkish |
Mevcut kaynakların zenginliğine rağmen, çoğu start-up veya girişimci iş fikri kazançlı bir aşamaya ulaşmadan başarısız olur. Bunu göz önünde bulundurarak bu ders, girişimcilerin ve küçük işletmelerin (hem B2B hem de B2C) karşılaşabileceği olası güncel sorunları, zorlukları ve fırsatları öğretmek ve tartışmak için tasarlanmıştır. Ders materyali, farklı pazarlama platformlarını, bunların neler sunduğunu ve izlenecek yolları tartışarak başarılı iş fikirleri yaratmaya, yönetmeye ve sürdürmeye yönelik araçlara ve tekniklere odaklanacaktır.
Öğrencilerin fikir alışverişinde bulunmalarının ve tartışmalara aktif katılmalarının beklendiği oldukça dinamik bir sınıf ortamına dahil etmeyi amaçlar. Okuma materyalleri, videolar ve case study çalışmalarından oluşan bir kombinasyon öğrencilerle paylaşılacak ve ayrıca bu tür materyalleri kendilerinin de paylaşmaları beklenecektir.
Geleneksel ders verme/anlatma tarzı yerine ders eğitmen moderatörlügünde diyalog halinde, herkesin fikirlerini paylaşmaya ve tartışmaya teşvik edildiği yuvarlak masa tartışmaları etrafında gelişecektir. Lütfen unutmayın, bu ders genel bir girişimcilik modülü olarak tasarlanmamıştır, sadece pazarlama perspektifine odaklanmaktadır.
