Spent an interesting morning at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, listening to final year students present case studies of Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
From the EV innovation of Tesla to the "Fenty effect" in cosmetics to digital banker Revolut to ethical clothing from Patagonia to the growing trend in healthy prepared meals at Simmer Eats, it was a fascinating reminder of how to strategically analyse business success. As well as the spectrum of approaches that can define "entrepreneurship".
I loved seeing the thinking of Schumpeter, Burns, Greiner, Kirzner, Drucker and others alive and well in our younger generation.
Congrats to all the students on their presentations. Great to meet you Roland Daw. And thanks Lucy Timms for the invite!
