Are you ready to develop your ideas and passions into business success?
Want to disrupt the market and establish yourself? 

Explore Ducere Courses

It’s time to identify what critical skills you need and how to activate them by completing a Ducere’s Bachelor of Applied Business course. 

Committing to the entrepreneurial career pathway in this uncertain era of technological disruption can seem too unclear, too risky, too “I don’t even know where to start”.

But where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Or, where there’s a Ducere business course, there’s a way.

Ducere provides a customisable, practical learning experience. They encourage students to be active in their education, offering:

  • Tailored course content

  • Customisable student assignments

  • Networking opportunities

  • Industry events

Understanding what steps need to be taken, what skills need to be developed, and what business connections to make is critical to establishing yourself in the business space.

Let’s look at the three key areas every entrepreneurial idea needs:

1

Your idea

2

Your brand

3

Your management style


Business idea to actionable concept

Having a business idea is great. Actioning that idea and making it a working business is, unfortunately, another ball game.

Once you’ve decided to embark on the entrepreneurial pathway, your first step will be to identify a legitimate business opportunity. A good business idea is only successful if it can fulfil a potential gap in the market. From there, your business concept and model need to be developed:

  • How will your business turn a profit?
  • What is the product or service?
  • Who will your customer base be?
  • What are your methods of delivery?
  • How will the product or service be sold?
  • How will you finance your business?

These questions, although they may seem overwhelming, are critical in transforming a vague idea into a solid concept.

Ducere’s Bachelor of Applied Entrepreneurship helps guide and support their students through these important business concepts. Ducere entrepreneurship students receive practical, hands-on engagement with the local start-up landscape, from venture capital raising to navigating current business dynamics.

It’s all about your brand

Your business’ brand identity and marketing strategy can make or break your up-and-coming business. That’s why having a strong foundation of marketing knowledge, and professional support is invaluable to entrepreneurs.

Your brand is your identifier. It should tell potential customers:

  • What you do
  • How you do it
  • Why they need it

It also shows customers your businesses’ overall personality, aesthetic and vibe.

Ask yourself this:

  • How do you want to make your customers feel after purchasing your product or using your service?
  • What makes your brand unique?

Your marketing strategy is how you expose people to your brand. As the world continues to become increasingly technological, digital marketing is essential for new businesses’ success.

Ducere’s Bachelor of Applied Business Marketing provides focused skill development in digital marketing, campaign management and market data research. Ducere’s students are taught how to read global markets and run effective digital campaigns by harnessing the power of technology and social media.

Word-of-mouth exposure is another effective form of free marketing for new businesses. Ducere’s networking events with industry professionals offer invaluable opportunities for students to build this positive exposure from the start.

To make sure your business ‘makes it’ rather than ‘breaks it’, enquire about Ducere’s industry-approved marketing Bachelor course.

Leading the way to success

Leaders need to establish a sound business strategy to take their business to the next level and ensure success. Effective leadership and management involve:

  • Corporate structuring
  • Managerial communication
  • Project management
  • Business model analysis

Business leaders need to strike a balance of mission and goal-focused strategy while supporting their employees. Nurturing your business’ human capital will help improve your company culture.

Good company culture directly affects operational productivity on all levels of corporate. Good leadership will encourage your team to be more responsive to the strategic analysis of corporate markets to identify opportunities or risks that could impact ROIs.

Ducere’s Bachelor of Applied Business Management guides and nurtures future leaders to achieve corporate success. By focusing on real-world learning experiences, Ducere students develop critical management skills that see them significantly progress in their external careers.
