What if You're Doing it All Wrong? How to better predict if a business will survive or fail
Everardo Ruiz SM'00, Intellectual Ventures, Thomas Thurston, Growth Science Inc
Thu Jan 28, 01-03:00pm, E51-145

No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Single session event

Why do new business so often fail? How would your career and investment choices change if survival or failure could be better predicted? This course will review "classic" new venture prediction factors, and then introduce new empirical models that successfully predict, with high accuracy, whether new business, products or services will survive or fail. Growing out of research on "disruptive innovation" by Thomas Thurston and HBS Professor Clayton Christensen, recent methodologies will be shared along with actionable implications for managers, entrepreneurs, VCs, and PE Funds.
