Digital Business 4.0

Hello, another week behind and next week we will put the knowledge we have acquired during this course to test. Companies are coming to Laurea, they are going to introduce themselves and afterwards we will start our projects for the target company which we have been assigned to.

This week was quite different, we had a guest lecturer Tomek who was Anna's polish friend and worked for a company called e-supplie. Tomek's presentation was actually pretty eye-opening, I learnead numerous ways how "online companies" operate and how differently you can actually do business these days.

On thursday we had other students present the subjects they had chosen, there was presentations about old projects, nordic business forum, blogging and growth hacking. It was great that students were given the choice to pick a subject they found interesting, of course we had to run it by the teachers but still overall a great chance.

Digital Business 3.0

Hello, another week has passed and i have learned many great new things. I never really thought about the cultural differences and how it affects the way how people from different countries operate during business or business meetings. I found it very pleasent that so many of us students did powerpoint presentations about different cultures and it was really nice to learn so many new things about other countries.

We also got a task that we need to do a powerpoint presentation, but we can choose the subject ourselves, which is awesome because now we chose a subject that we really like. Our team chose to do the presentation about "Social media 101" where we will try to figure out the best ways to gain visibility and traffic to your social media sites.

Next week we are going to have few guest lecturers, hopefully they will be as good as the last one which was pretty great and here is my cultural baggage.

Digital business 2.0

Hi,

this week we had great lectures about personal branding and Anna showed some great examples of how different CV's can actually be, that was really interesting. We also had a task where we worked in groups and chose one of Laurea's social media sites and listed pros and cons of it.

Later on the lecture included some slides about elevator pitching and we got a homework to do one ourselves. At first I struggled doing, but then I took it step by step and followed some great instructions which i found from the internet and it started going much better. For my very first filmed elevator pitch I think it turned out to be decent and I think that in the future my pitching will become much better.

Overall another amazing week behind and I am really looking forward to see what new the teachers have prepared for us for next week.

Digital Business 1.0

This week we started a new course called digital business and i must say it has had it’s ups and downs. The subject itself sounds very interesting, but the last assignment didn’t turnout to be something marvelous. I Mean the subject seems really interesting but for me ”A dream for 2020” wasn't that educating experience, but overall a great week behind and hopefully many more to come.

I Have never really been into blogging, but after Bishnu’s presentation about it being a massive way to increase your websites traffic im looking it in a whole new light. 

This week I have learned great many things about blogging, for example the sites wix and blogger. And how easy it is to create one.

Hopefully next week's subject will be even more thrilling!
