Going into this project, I never had realized how many tasks, technology, and steps went into creating a new product. When creating an entrepreneurial idea, one must remember there is a lot of marketing and creating, on should always be aware of all new technology and gadgets that revolve around your topic and can help you improve your product and service. Through the weekly lectures of Prof. Rubin I learned to develop my HEAT jacket more and found out ways that would be more convenient, more efficient, more technological, and overall, a better product than what I originally had in mind!
Some of the concepts I learned in class definitely helped me to further my ideas with my project. For example I needed to find a heater small enough to be in a jacket but powerful enough to heat the body to a target temperature and after having the group meeting and getting feedback from my fellow followers and my TA’s I learned that there are some skiing boots that are already on the market that have a rechargeable heater which could be perfect for my jacket, I researched it through the networks. I also learned about more complex ideas, like how RFID could be helpful to my HEAT jacket marketing camping because it is a fast way to find out more information about anything if I do a URL with all the company’s history, story, and purpose!
Over all, I am really grateful and glad I got to do this project. I not only learned about technology but I also learned how to integrated to my every day life and to new project, like me entrepreneurship idea. My personal opinion is that this project was extremely interesting and the most fascinating part is how I was able to take everything learned in class each week and apply it by my own in my own way in my own product, all created by me! The only thing I have left to wonder is whether or not my entrepreneurial idea would actually be a success, what do you guys think!?
