The course was very nice. I'll recommend it to my friends and classmates!

Excellent Course for Entrepreneurial Strategic Management!

Excellent course and teacher. Congratulations!

Course Review: Entrepreneurial Strategic Management This course provided a strong foundation in understanding how strategic thinking applies in entrepreneurial contexts. It was insightful to explore models like Porter’s Five Forces, Value Chain Analysis, and Disruptive Innovation, and how they help evaluate industries, competition, and opportunities for innovation. What stood out most was the emphasis on adapting strategies based on context, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions. The course clearly showed that successful entrepreneurship requires not just creativity, but a deep understanding of market forces, core competencies, and sustainable innovation. I also appreciated the real-world examples, like the rise of Netflix and the decline of Blockbuster, which made the theoretical concepts more practical and relevant. Suggestions for improvement: More interactive case studies or simulations could further deepen understanding. Including guest speakers or recorded insights from real entrepreneurs might make the learning even more engaging. Overall, this course was valuable for anyone interested in launching or managing a business with a strategic mindset.

Well, without any doubts I can say that I got a lot of useful information about this course, and i realized that the strategic entrepreneursh ipintegrates the opportunity-seeking element of entrepreneurshipwith the advantage-seeking approach of strategic management. In this approach, the company develops entrepreneurial processes to develop current and future competitive advantage in promising product markets.

As an Economic Development program manager, I regularly work with entrepreneurs looking to launch, expand, or relocate their small to mid-size businesses. This course provided a rich body of information to use during those discussions. It also qualified to help our organization meet its annual state educational requirements for accreditation.

The engaging way in which Douglas presents everything is addictive.

For the first time I didn't turn off during a lecture.

The examples of overuse, disruption, innovation, pricing etc are clear, precise and still up-to-date.

I have already recommended this course to Business English students of mine here in São Paulo, Brazil.

The course is excellent for someone with minimum or no background in business education. The instructor described all the concepts amazingly! It was a great course for me to recap and revise the essential concepts for Strategic Management as well as learn about some popular and famous examples from the market.

Good professor, liked it, I am very picky about professor's voices for some reason. I also liked his format. I took a similar course in LinkedIn Learning and it was horrible, the woman's voice was hard to listen to so therefore the material was hard to grasp because of that distraction.

Thank You Prof. Douglas Thomas for your insightful lectures - this is my third enrollment on just as many courses that you have authored.

I am really grateful, your lectures and courses have improved my understanding of business, enterprise, and economics.

Thank You Ever So Much, Sir!!!

While it may seem very easy, the course stimulates me to study further and inspires me to be the best tha I can be in terms of developing business strategies. Congratulations and thanks to Dr. Doug Thomas, Coursera and University of New Mexico for coming up with these.
