📘 About This Blog

This blog is part of my academic journey and professional development as an MBA student in Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Specifically, it was launched during Module 5 – Part II: Strategies for Growth and Managing the Life Cycle of New Ventures, which significantly influenced my perspective on business scalability, innovation planning, and sustainable project execution.
