수업에 관하여 

많은 사람들이 훌륭한 아이디어와 기술을 가지고 있습니다. 하지만 "당신의 고객은 누구입니까?"라는 단순하지만 피해갈 수 없는 질문 하나로 갈피를 못 잡고 무너지곤 합니다. 

MIT공대는 수년간 이 질문을 기업가 학생들에게 던지면서 아주 성공적인 결과를 이루어냈습니다. MIT동문들이 세운 2만5천6백개의 기업들은 2조 달러 규모의 수익을 창출해냈으며 330만여개의 일자리를 만들어냈습니다. MIT가 국가였다면 세계에서 11번째로 큰 경제강국이 됐을 것입니다. 

여러분도 이 MIT 국가의 국민이 되어보세요. 여러분의 스타트업 여정을 MIT와 함께하시면서 성공의 핵심이 될 고객에 대해서 발견하는 시간을 가져보세요. 

이 강의는 기업가정신에 대한 수업으로  딱딱한 대학강의와는 거리가 멉니다. 매 수업시간마다 모바일 애플리케이션, 3D 프린팅, 전기전자, 국제개발, 손목시계 개발 등 다양한 분야의 MIT 출신 기업가들에 대한 심층적이고 전문적인 사례연구가 준비되어 있습니다. 

이러한 사례연구를 통해 여러분의 아이디어나 기술이 제품 단계로 넘어갔을 때 누가, 또 왜, 제품 구매의향을 가지게 되는지에 대한 공부를 할 것입니다. 과제물은 실제상황에 기반한 예제로 구성되어 있습니다. 구체적이고 실용적이며 효율적인 과정단계를 통해 예제를 풀면서, 이를 여러분 아이디어의 실체를 찾는 데 적용한다면 큰 도움이 될 것입니다. 

그럼 즐거운 수업 되시길 바랍니다!

In today’s world, politics and economics are inextricably interconnected, but what is the nature of this connectivity? What are the power relationships that shape the world economy today and create new challenges for international institutions facing globalization? What makes some countries wealthier than others? Do we face cultural diversity or fragmentation? Does the type of governance effect economic development and social change or is it the other way around? How do we measure it and how trustworthy is the data? These issues and many more will be examined in this course along with up-to-date sources and biting criticism.

This course provides a quantitative and model-based introduction to basic economic principles, and teaches how to apply them to make sense of a wide range of real world problems. Examples of applications include predicting the impact of technological changes in market prices, calculating the optimal gasoline tax, and measuring the value of new products. This is a real Caltech class. It will be taught concurrently to Caltech and on-line students. This has two implications. On the costs side: the class is challenging, makes extensive use of calculus, and will demand significant effort. On the benefit side: successful completion of the class will provide you with an in-depth understanding of basic economics, and will permanently change the way you see the world.

The course invites you to examine the interconnectedness of modern life through an exploration of fundamental questions about how our social, economic, and technological worlds are connected. Students will explore game theory, the structure of the Internet, social contagion, the spread of social power and popularity, and information cascades.

This MOOC is based on an interdisciplinary Cornell University course entitled Networks, taught by professors David Easley, Jon Kleinberg, and Éva Tardos.

Quel lien existe-t-il entre l’exploitation des ressources naturelles (terre, eau, ressources minières, forêts, ...) et le développement durable ? Ce cours vous permettra de comprendre les opportunités mais aussi les défis que la présence de ressources naturelles offre, tant au niveau local que global. En analysant les effets socio-économiques et écologiques de la ruée actuelle vers ces ressources naturelles, vous comprendrez mieux les liens entre crise agraire, crise alimentaire et crise environnementale. A partir d’études de cas spécifiques, c’est votre regard sur les dynamiques globales contemporaines qui en sera modifié.

A la fin du cours, par rapport à des problématiques liées à la gestion des ressources naturelles (ruée sur la terre, le sous-sol, l’eau et/ou la forêt), vous serez capables de:

• comprendre, comparer et analyser des modèles théoriques qui permettent de décoder de telles problématiques
• décomposer ces problématiques en causes, conséquences, solutions et points de vue divergents sur ces trois elements
• repérer, dans votre environnement, des cas d'étude qui illustrent ces problématiques et leur appliquer le processus de décomposition vu dans le cours.

Vous serez invités à choisir deux ressources naturelles parmi les quatre proposées. Vous développerez les apprentissages annoncés au travers de présentations vidéo par la professeur et par des experts, de QCM, d’un jeu de plateau à jouer avec vos proches (Land Rush), de débats et de cas d’étude proposés par vous, que vous schématiserez et présenterez aux autres via une activité d’évaluation par les pairs.

What kind of link exists between the exploitation of natural resources (land, water, minerals, forests) and sustainable development? This course aims to understand the opportunities and challenges implied by the presence of natural resources at both local and global levels. You will be analyzing the socioeconomic and ecological effects of the contemporary natural resource rush. This will help you to gain a better understanding of the links between land, food and environmental crises. Through the analysis of specific case studies, you’ll look at contemporary global dynamics in a different way.

Imagine that you are a bank and a main part of your daily business is to lend money. Unfortunately, lending money is a risky business - there is no 100% guarantee that you will get all your money back. If the borrower defaults, you will face losses in your portfolio. Or, in a bit less extreme scenario, if the credit quality of your counterparty deteriorates according to some rating system, the loan will become more risky. These are typical situations in which credit risk manifests itself.

According to the Basel Accord, a global regulation framework for financial institutions, credit risk is one of the three fundamental risks a bank or any other regulated financial institution has to face when operating in the markets (the two other risks being market risk and operational risk). As the 2008 financial crisis has shown us, a correct understanding of credit risk and the ability to manage it are fundamental in today’s world.

This course offers you an introduction to credit risk modelling and hedging. We will approach credit risk from the point of view of banks, but most of the tools and models we will overview can be beneficial at the corporate level as well.

At the end of the course, you will be able to understand and correctly use the basic tools of credit risk management, both from a theoretical and, most of all, a practical point of view. This will be a quite unconventional course. For each methodology, we will analyse its strengths as well as its weaknesses. We will do this in a rigorous way, but also with fun: there is no need to be boring.

Thanks to the wonderful feedback of last year’s students, the course has been further improved.
