Sustainable Innovation for Subsistence Marketplaces
Global Challenges in Business,
This course focuses on understanding subsistence marketplaces and designing business solutions for the billions of people living in poverty in the global marketplace. To develop understanding of these markets, we use exercises to that enable learners to view the world from the eyes of subsistence consumers and entrepreneurs, facilitate bottom‐up understanding generated by participants, and provide insights from extensive research. More broadly, the course uses the context of extreme resource constraints to learn about the bottom-up approach pioneered through the Subsistence Marketplaces Initiative and apply it in broadly. A parallel project will focus on understanding a specific need in a subsistence marketplace, and designing a solution and an enterprise plan for implementation. You will be able to: • Develop an understanding of subsistence marketplaces • Design solutions for subsistence marketplaces • Develop enterprise plans to implement solutions for subsistence marketplaces • Apply the bottom-up approach for subsistence marketplaces and other contexts This course is part of Gies College of Business’ suite of online programs, including the iMBA and iMSM.

What people are saying
poor presentation in terms
Poor presentation in terms of lack of creativity and the material does not catch the student's attention.
guess a bad adaptation
I guess a bad adaptation of the live course (you can tell also from the indications to be used to rate peers assignment, not applicable for this version).This is the first one of a specialization I am very interested in learning, so that I will go on hoping the other courses will be better.
multiple great learning resources
busy work - also
I would recommend cutting down on much of the busy work - also quizzes are very long as compared to other courses.
