Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Learn business fundamentals for non-business professionals: finance, strategy, marketing, unit economics, and processes.

Description

You can be excellent at your job for years and still not know how the company around it actually works, because most people learn a function, not a business. This course stood out because it teaches the business fundamentals that specialists from technical, creative, or scientific backgrounds were never taught.

This Course Offers

  • A complete foundation in how businesses work: You will learn environmental analysis with STEEPLE, organizational structures, stakeholders, and the E-V-R model.
  • Practical skills in competition and economics: You will use Porter's five forces, the Boston matrix, and understand inflation, interest rates, and central banks.
  • Knowledge of finance and marketing fundamentals: You will read profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statements, and learn market diagnosis, 4P, STP, and return on marketing spend.
  • Expertise in revenue funnels, unit economics, and process mapping: You will follow a revenue funnel from lead to payment, calculate unit economics, and read process maps with BPMN.
