Dear Strategy Colleagues
I found that most strategy courses in business scools/ MBA programs/ and at college level, focus almost exclusively on strategic thinking/planning in the corporate sector.
There is very little for startups ( off the street entrepereneurs, serial entrepereneurs, SME's, high tech startups with new-to-the-world disruptive technology; would-be entrepreneurs in the science-to-business sphere ie. academics, scientists, engineers, researchers etc), not-for-profits (NFPs), associations or government agencies.
A startup doesn't care about market share--ie they are more interested in niche opportunity windows. The strategic thinking and planning for a startup, launch and prelaunch business venture is different then what goes on in a corporation, when they decide to launch a new product.
Does anyone have a syllabus they can share in the above areas. I plan to propose a 13 week continuing education course on Strategy for Startups and Strategy for non business organizations to a local university and or college.

I am attaching the syllabus I used the last time I taught such a seminar (Spring 2006).
I look forward to receiving your summary.
