Intro to Business

An Engineer's Neverending Challenge

“Building a Business” Podcast

For the past few days literally doing nothing productive in Korea, I have decided to move myself forward. Thinking what I could do, I chose iTunes U—a podcast service in which Apple started to provide University lectures. Lacking basic concepts and terminology related to Business and the whole Economic side, I know I had a hard time dealing with the “B type people” for a bit. Although this podcast mainly talks about building a business and sustaining it, it goes over the basics such as, but not limited to, protecting IP (Intellectual Property), managing business plans, and financial concepts. This course basically sounds like the course I took last semester at Wash U, BME Concepts to Market, except the one I took focuses more on the technical side. Anyhow, I would like to summarize some of the stuff I catch in the lectures in the following few posts. I am not sure whether I will be able to stick with doing this for a long time, but having listened to some of the lectures already, it seems like the content is useful and would be beneficial to write it down in the long run.

The schedule of my third semester at Wash U. After taking a few non-engineering courses, I have decided on to work towards a minor in Business as well.  With that, I have overloaded myself with Managerial Microeconomics and BME Concept to Market, both of which are requirements. The two Business courses seem to be very interesting to me. I hope this passion stays awake for the rest of my life.

The start of a new life

Yes, I am an engineer, or I am working on my degree to be one.

But I would like to survive in the competitive atmosphere of the world.

How can I do that?

There is not a clear answer, but I will try everything I can for it.

Engineer’s Evolutionary Challenge now begins.
