Week 6: The New MetroAg Entrepreneur

Introduction

In the last presentation for this course we will sum up the contents of the first five weeks. We will spend some time on sustainable development as a driving force for innovations. Next, the action perspectives for MetroAg innovation will be illustrated. And finally we will present the six guises of the innovative entrepreneur that will be needed to realize these perspectives. We will also reserve time to reflect on your postings on the Forum and answer any remaining questions you might have. You can e-mail those questions beforehand to heyboerg@msu.edu or put them in the chat box during the webinar.
