Do you agree that no major success was achieved in the world without taking major risk? The same is true for entrepreneurship. Any risk brings with it also specific challenges arising during individual phases of an enterprise’s development. These risks are represented very well by an entrepreneurial rollercoaster. One moment you are at the bottom, the next on the top and in-between you are experiencing an adrenalin-filled ride.These specific challenges and how to beat them and build a successful global enterprise will be addressed at the 34th international PODIM conference. The topic “Entrepreneurial Rollercoaster" will provide answers to the following key entrepreneurship questions:
- How important is the market on which an entrepreneur operates?
- How to avoid the false feeling of progress?
- How to face difficult business situations and how to negotiate?
- How to secure investment or financial assets through crowd funding?
- How to develop internal entrepreneurship and manage the enterprise through different phases of its development?
- How to succeed using modern entrepreneurial methodologies such as the principles of lean and agile start-ups?
- And much, much more.
