Business · Module 6
The Story of Business
The first five modules taught how businesses create value, compete, and lead people today. This module steps back to tell the story of business itself: how commerce began, how the modern corporation was invented, how industry and management transformed enterprise, and how brands and digital platforms reshaped the world.
The forms of business keep changing — guild, corporation, factory, platform — but the core challenges endure: creating value, earning trust, and adapting or disappearing. Knowing this history makes you a wiser founder, employee, and citizen.
