Learning-by-doing techniques are solely based on theoretical knowledge and do not require practical application in the business development process.

Learning‑by‑doing means you learn by actually performing tasks, not just by reading or listening to theory. When you practice a skill—like writing a pitch deck or negotiating a deal—you see how concepts work in real situations, which helps you remember and apply them better. If you only study the theory, you miss the feedback loop that shows what works and what doesn’t, so you won’t develop the intuition needed for business decisions. For example, a student who builds a prototype website and tests it with real users learns about usability, market fit, and budgeting at the same time, turning abstract ideas into concrete results. Thus, learning‑by‑doing relies on hands‑on practice, not just on theoretical knowledge.
