Free course: Entrepreneurship and Healthcare in Emerging Economies (Harvard Univ.)

• Harvard University.
• As thought in October 2014.
• Course Length: 12 weeks.

Entrepreneurship and Healthcare in Emerging Economies aims to engage students in an inter-disciplinary approach to understanding the nature of complex health problems throughout the world, with an illustrative focus on South Asia. Students will become acquainted with prior attempts to address these problems, to identify points of opportunity for smart entrepreneurial efforts, and to propose and develop their own candidate solutions.

Throughout, the emphasis is on individual agency—what can the learner do to address a defined problem? While the teachers use the lens of health to explore entrepreneurial opportunities, students will see that both problems and solutions are inevitably of a multi-disciplinary nature, and the teachers will draw on a range of sectors and fields of study.
