Business Development and Marketing Strategy: A Short Course for EntrepreneursKevin Willemse
These are materials I developed for a short 2 day course on the basics of business strategy and how marketing strategy fits into it, dealing with digital, traditional and new (social) media and all the nuances facing entrepreneurs today. A simple deck that some may find useful, feel free to use as you see fit, and any comments or suggestions are welcome.
A lot of it is simply based on my own experience, knowledge, and opinion, it's not meant to be a definitive guide top success (no such thing exists!).
Enjoy!
