Go to course ↗

A short MIT Sloan OpenCourseWare course, offered during January IAP 2014, that walks through how to write and think about business plans, starting with an introduction and overview of what a plan is for. Lecture videos and lecture notes are published on OCW.

A commenter suggests it as a way to learn business plans without committing to the whole course, recommending at least the first lecture.

    Note: since I can't edit my earlier post, writing a new one (for future reference) which better reflects my earlier thinking.

    1. s/eternal/age-old/ # replace "eternal" with "age-old"

    2. s/form vs. substance/signified vs. signifier/ # I think signified-signifier[1] distinction is more specific and apt compared to form-substance distinction when it comes communication.

    Additionally if you're interested and want to "read" more on "business plans", I would recommend checking MIT's "Nuts and Bolts of Business Plans" course[2], at least the first lecture[3, 4] if you aren't motivated enough to go through the whole course.
