Overview
For an increasing number of established companies, creating new business opportunities within the company is an imperative for success. Maturing technologies and aging product portfolios are requiring companies to create, develop, and sustain innovative new businesses.
The Corporate Entrepreneurship - Innovating within Corporations Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Maryland is designed for those interested in learning how to innovate and apply entrepreneurship principles in the corporate setting.
