FourWeekMBA

Why did I create FourWeekMBA, and how did I come up with The Business Engineer?

In the last decade, I’ve studied thousands of companies, helped build a few tech business models from scratch, and, in the process, developed my own way of seeing the business world.

Why did I start it?

When in 2015 I completely changed focus from my previous career to building digital businesses, I found that the education I had acquired via an MBA didn’t help me much to build up a digital business. That is why I set to document my new journey and as I went through it I thought about building the resources for the business school I wish I had when I was building my own business.

Has the advanced education business world changed?

The business world changed quickly; the digital world has changed how entrepreneurship works and understanding those dynamics has become critical. That is why I’ve built up this blog. I documented here all the lessons learned throughout the years and as I did so I made them available to you so that this could become the go-to place for digital entrepreneurs, executives, and business people.

What’s going on with higher business education?

An MBA can still be a valuable program for people that want to progress in their business careers. And for aspiring entrepreneurs. However, there are some fundamental aspects of MBA programs that make them too risky for today’s standards. As the business world changes at a faster and faster pace, the opportunity cost associated with enrolling in an MBA program has become too high for many people to bear.

Does the MBA need a new business model?

On this blog, I cover business models. And I focus much of my attention on those models that are changing the game. To be sure this isn’t much about disruption. What we accept and give for granted, is a modern model of business and education. However, that model has its basis in the world which got shaped in the last decades.
