Details
The image of the entrepreneur of younger generations is largely a few friends in a room developing an App. This is not the image of 10 years ago and will likely be very different 10 years from today. How will entrepreneurship change and what must MBA's do to be prepared for it?
What will be the biggest challenges and hurdles of entrepreneurship and how MBA's can prepare for those shifts?
- The dominance of few large tech firms makes it difficult for a new firm to survive and flourish
- Technology and connectivity is penetrating more of our daily lives and activities (IoT in the home and automation in the workplace)
- Regulation and Globalization gaining momentum in "opposite" directions (e.g. a resurgence of nationalism while at the same time information and goods are more accessible than ever)
