The television industry is undergoing major disruption as the TV screen takes on new capabilities. As the TV becomes more connected to the internet and content becomes more personalized and on-demand, control is shifting from media companies to consumers. This will change how content is created, financed, and delivered. It will also increase competition for traditional cable companies from new entrants. In the future, consumers will be able to access vast libraries of interactive content through their TVs and share content more easily. Both media companies and new players will need to adapt to remain relevant in this new environment.
Addressing some of the early questions that entrepreneurs must ask themselves before beginning on their journey:
* What are your goals for your enterprise? (Business, nonprofit, social enterprise)
* Will your business be focussed on profit? Social benefit? Will it be a consulting practice? A service company? A product company?
* What are the different requirements and resources necessary for your selected enterprise model?
* What type of financing should you target: equity, debt, grant funding or a combination of all three?
This is the lecture that establishes the framework for the rest of the course and gets entrepreneurs on their way!

It discusses pillars of entrepreneurial ecosystems like spreading ideas, human resources, ecosystem feeders, and universities/labs. It provides Chicago as an example of an integrated ecosystem and ranks various global cities by entrepreneurial ecosystem dynamics. It also outlines aspects of starting businesses in the lean startup era like building minimum viable products and refining through iterations. Accelerators that provide human capital and networks are described as helping startups attract investors through demo days and pitch competitions. New sources of crowdfunding and prefinancing are also mentioned.
The document discusses how entrepreneurship can be encouraged at a national level. It notes that in the US between 1980-2005, all net new employment came from companies less than 5 years old.

The Forum has brought together over 500 MSMEs, investors, policymakers and business leaders each year across 5 sectors - Agriculture, food & rural innovation, Health, Education, Clean Energy, and Technology for Development.
This document provides an overview of business development and entrepreneurship basics presented by Tony Redpath and Allyson Hewitt of MaRS Discovery District. It discusses starting a business, including motivation, resources needed, and business model. It also covers types of organizations like consulting, services, and products. Additionally, it summarizes forms of financing including debt, equity, grants, and hybrid models. Finally, it discusses risks for startups and social ventures seeking financing or support.
The document discusses the rise of business ecosystems and their increasing importance in today's economy. Key points:
- Business ecosystems are complex communities of interacting organizations, similar to natural ecosystems. They are becoming more prevalent as digitization and connectivity break down industry boundaries.
- Large companies like Alibaba, Softbank, and Nokia explicitly see themselves as part of or building business ecosystems rather than just competing as standalone firms.
- Ecosystems allow multiple players across industries to collaborate in creating and scaling markets in new ways. They encourage both competition and cooperation toward shared goals.
- By enabling new forms of value creation through specialized contributions and resources, ecosystems address fundamental needs and societal challenges in innovative ways.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
