Why I joined the course?
I initially participated in the course because I wanted to gain an understanding of entrepreneurship and experience an academic approach to the field. Additionally, I was curious about the Master's program "Entrepreneurship & Digital Transformation" at HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences. This course provided the perfect opportunity to get first insights into digital transformation and entrepreneurship and assess my personal interest in the topic.
Impact
Participating in the course was a good decision.
Firstly, it confirmed my high interest in entrepreneurship and helped me to decide to participate in the Master's program. I found the balance between factual information and expertise delivered by academic lecturers on one hand, and the personal experiences and knowledge shared by real entrepreneurs on the other very refreshing and insightful.
Secondly, the course met my personal interests. As a former business psychology student, I was particularly interested in the personality traits and behavioral psychology associated with entrepreneurship as well as the psychological attributes necessary for entrepreneurial success. Many of these aspects were addressed in the course, allowing me to deepen my existing knowledge.
Thirdly, I learned some valuable lessons through the concise knowledge of experts. For example, I was not aware the critical importance of timing when incorporating a start-up or the significance of assembling a great team. Both factors can greatly impact the success or failure of a venture. The course also emphasized the necessity of agility and creativity in today's business environment to ensure the longevity of both existing and new ventures. The inclusion of lectures on digital transformation further enhances the course's value. Overall, I believe this course provides an excellent learning opportunity for individuals curious about entrepreneurship and seeking initial insights across various aspects of the field.

Why I joined the course?
I have always been intrigued by how technology is changing the way we do business. From Artificial Intelligence and Robotics to Internet of Things and Blockchain, technology is revolutionising the production of goods and services, and its connection with people. To better understand the mechanics of this digital transformation and how I can apply it to projects as an intrapreneur, I decided to sign up to the course. I must confess: the course absolutely exceeded all my expectations, in terms of its content, structure and mode of delivery.
Impact
The platform used to teach the course is unmatched. Not only is it easy to use, but there is ample knowledge offered through the video recordings and recommended reading material that is just fascinating to go through. It feels as though you don't want the course to end. So, if you are unsure whether to sign up, I'd say close your eyes and dive deep into it.
