Overview
As unbelievable as it might sound, 94% of Senior Corporate Executives admit that their companies fail to fully understand customer needs. Over 80% of tech startups collapse early, not because of weak engineering or cash shortages, but because they invest time in products the market doesn't want or need.
This Marketing Strategy for Engineers and Technologists Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado Boulder employs a tech-driven start-up process to teach you the skills needed to develop successful strategies to launch campaigns and operate programs to achieve financial success in dynamic tech markets.
