The Innovator's Canvas and Value Proposition Design

Classified in Economy

Written on in English with a size of 2.35 KB

The Innovator’s Canvas

Similar to the Business Model Canvas but with a different approach, as shown in the image above. We will focus on two key components: The Why and the Value Proposition Canvas.

The Why

Simon Sinek argues that many companies start with “how” instead of “why.” Some even lack a clear understanding of their purpose. Apple's success is attributed to starting with “why.”

“People don’t buy what you do. They buy why you do it.” - Simon Sinek

Sinek's Golden Circle framework revolves around three questions: why? (purpose), how? (process), and what? (results).

The Value Proposition Canvas

This canvas focuses on creating value for customers through products and services.

Future Prospects for Young People in Spain

Written on in English with a size of 3.27 KB

What do you think of the future for young people like you in Spain?

The current economic crisis in Spain is widespread, but it may subside in the coming years. However, if the crisis persists, young people could face challenging conditions due to potential disruptions in their education. This situation might compel many to leave the country in search of better opportunities.

Conversely, if the crisis resolves, life in Spain is likely to improve with increased funding, job creation, and reduced unemployment. This would result in a more populated and thriving nation.

In conclusion, I hope that young people will have access to work or education with government support, and that the crisis will end as soon as possible.

The Great Depression: Causes and Effects 1929-1939

Classified in Economy

Written on in English with a size of 3.9 KB

The Great Depression, a period of severe economic downturn, lasted from 1929 to 1939. It was the worst economic depression in the history of the United States. While economists and historians often point to the stock market crash of October 24, 1929, as the start of the downturn, the reality is that the Great Depression was caused by a confluence of factors, not just one single event.

In the United States, the Great Depression crippled the presidency of Herbert Hoover and led to the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. Promising the nation a "New Deal," Roosevelt would become the nation's longest-serving president. The economic downturn wasn't just confined to the United States; it affected much of the developed world. One consequence... Continue reading "The Great Depression: Causes and Effects 1929-1939" »

The Great Depression and the New Deal

Classified in Economy

Written on in English with a size of 2.82 KB

The Great Depression

Starting with the collapse of the US stock market in 1929, the Great Depression was a period of worldwide economic stagnation and depression. Heavy borrowing by European nations from the USA during World War I contributed to instability in European economies. Sharp declines in income and production occurred as buying and selling slowed down. Widespread unemployment resulted, and countries raised tariffs to protect their industries. America stopped investing in Europe. This led to a loss of confidence that economies were self-adjusting, and President Herbert Hoover was blamed for the crisis.

Hoovervilles

Depression shantytowns were named after President Hoover, whom many blamed for their financial distress.
