Business schools will quickly create a tiny 1-2 week long version of their MBA aimed at individuals who want to start equally tiny businesses in local communities to reach a growing number of customers in communities that either can’t, or don’t want to venture far from home because of the pandemic at the moment (or other reasons in the future). The Tiny MBA is a short training programme specifically aimed at starting very small businesses and, over a week, also helps individuals register businesses, identify empty store fronts they can use, all in collaboration with government and other organisations. This could also be existing or larger businesses looking at ways to start up much smaller retail stores to reach more people rather than the giant stores many of us are being pushed towards. Our neighbourhoods will be better for it.
