Entrepreneurship on the edge of chaos: black swans, new socialism and bull fi...hub:raum Krakow
This document discusses the importance of spotting innovations from outside one's industry or area of focus. It notes that the largest competitors and innovations often come from unexpected places. Entrepreneurs must develop the ability to see connections between current ideas and future realities. New technologies like 3D printing and open source approaches are enabling more distributed innovation from individuals and small groups. Predicting the future is difficult, so companies must learn to trace weak signals of change from the edges of their awareness. Overall, the passage emphasizes looking beyond the center of attention for disruptive innovations that come from outside established areas.

Klaus Jäger_Development and future of (solar) energy technologiesUNICORNS IN TECH
1) Electricity has revolutionized our lives since the late 19th century. The sun provides enormous amounts of energy and keeps the Earth's surface temperature at about 15°C, making water liquid and enabling life.
2) Photovoltaic solar cells can directly convert light to electricity and have no moving parts, allowing them to be integrated into buildings. Solar energy development is growing rapidly, with over 40 GW installed annually in recent years.
3) Challenges remain in balancing the intermittent supply of solar and wind energy and converting other sectors like transport to renewable energy, but technologies like batteries, smart grids, and solar fuels are helping to address these issues.

The document then explores various definitions of entrepreneurship provided by scholars as creating value under conditions of risk and uncertainty. It differentiates between forms of entrepreneurship such as social, business, and tech entrepreneurship. The document also examines the importance of entrepreneurs for job creation and economic growth. Finally, it discusses the characteristics and competencies needed in an entrepreneur such as opportunity seeking, risk-taking, and leadership.
Presenting Parsons Global Executive Master_Apr2016 (1)Tracy Engel
The Parsons School of Design is launching a new 18-month global executive master's program in Strategic Design & Management beginning in July 2016. The program will bring together 25 emerging business leaders from a variety of industries and cultures to develop skills at the intersection of design, innovation, and business. Students will spend time in intensive courses in Paris, Shanghai, and New York, learning from international faculty and business leaders. The curriculum combines management coursework with hands-on design studio projects to help students develop new business models and solutions to real-world challenges. The flexible, blended format allows working professionals to maintain their work schedules while gaining a valuable new perspective on design-led problem solving and strategic leadership.
The document discusses a proposed digital transformation specialization that would explore how digital technologies are changing education, work, and leisure activities. It describes several course modules that would examine topics like enterprise applications, mobile business, big data, social innovation, social business, and the Internet of Things. The goal is for students to understand challenges of digital transformation, create startups applying these lessons, and integrate strategies around emerging technologies like data and networks into approaches for continuous productivity and customer experiences.

Newspaper companies have only begun to scratch the surface of their innovation potential. To succeed, they must learn to look at markets in new ways, invest in creating new capabilities, and rethink how they work individually and collectively. The Global Alliance for Media Innovation (GAMI) was created to support and coordinate an international ecosystem of innovation centers, entrepreneurs, and rapidly advance the best digital news media innovations. GAMI connects partners in innovation, sources new talents and solutions, and coordinates international R&D programs.
This document discusses identifying and selecting partners for open innovation and research partnerships. It provides an overview of current approaches and best practices based on a survey of 120 decision-makers. Some key findings include: companies turn first to their existing networks to identify potential partners; over 80% of decision-makers have met future business partners at industry events; technological expertise, scientific excellence, and experience with collaborative projects are important factors in selecting partners; and mapping a company's innovation ecosystem is an important first step to scoping out potential partners. The document advocates exploring internal talent and networks, as well as external industry clusters and groups, to both identify new partners and benchmark/select the best fit for projects.
Reshape your business to become disruption proof. Today every business should challenge it's purpose, it's value proposition and business model to become future-proof. Products and services are becoming increasingly interchangeable. Almost any industry is feeling the urgency. Old handles do not work anymore and straightline thinking stops here. One has to make sure that one delivers meaningful experiences that capture value for clients and all stakeholders. Explore the possibilities to become certified experience professional. Registration for the new program 2016 is open.
The document discusses the Technology Commercialization Center at Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod in Russia. It provides an overview of the university's history and programs. It then describes the goals of the Technology Commercialization Center, which include establishing an innovation ecosystem and supporting spin-off companies. The Center helps projects through various stages, from evaluating ideas to packaging them for commercialization. It has partnerships with groups like accelerators and investors to help startups.

WELCOME
Welcome to the Executive Master in Digital
Innovation and Entrepreneurial Leadership
The influence of digital technologies and the
way they are changing business, society and our
personal lives are omnipresent. The digital
economy is at the top of everyone's agenda,
be it at international summits, in government,
in research and development, think tanks and
corporations. Digital innovation or Industry 4.0
have become synonymous with the transfor-
mation of industry structures and the way we
interact.
We observe that boundaries between industries
are changing and innovation opportunities may
come from unforeseen sectors or technological
breakthroughs. Big data analytics, cloud
technologies and digital platforms allow constant
innovative ways and opportunities and confront
everyone with fundamental change and a
democratisation of competition. Even if the
terminus will disappear, the realities behind
it are very real and will stay.
This transformation requires a mindset and
skill set to shape and leverage this change.
We at ESCP Europe believe that the world needs
entrepreneurial leaders at every level of any
kind of organisation in our society. It is our target
to prepare them for this fundamental change
and equip them with the tools and an open
mindset to be responsive to leverage these
new opportunities.
The Chair of Entrepreneurship (ChaireEEE)
through a network of experts, developed the
Executive Master of Digital Innovation and
Entrepreneurial Leadership, creating an agile
and inspiring learning environment which
allows each participant to develop his/her
entrepreneurial leadership capabilities and
shape digital innovation opportunities.
Are you ready to be part of this learning
experience and develop your entrepreneurial
leadership capabilities? Join us and our extensive
ChaireEEE network and experience new,
sometimes even subversive forms of innovation
and entrepreneurship.
Sincerely,
“The man with a new idea
is a crank until
the idea succeeds.”

In the digital era, we are witnessing a democra-
tisation of competition and a constant need for
change. With infinitely scalable computing, talent
can be acquired on-demand, manufacturing and
distribution are only a click away. Companies –
be it a corporation or a start-up – have to
constantly ask themselves, “What business am
I in?” and “How can we create on-demand high
quality experiences?” To identify, create and
deploy opportunities that have an impact and to
reinvent business, we need entrepreneurs and
that respective mindset at any level in any kind
of organisation.
ESCP Europe's Executive Master Programme
sets out to unleash this awareness and
develop the necessary conceptualising and
entrepreneurial leadership skills. The capability
to shape and steer a course is equally
important to a corporate intrapreneur, as it
is to entrepreneurs seeking to launch or grow
businesses, to family business successors,
internal venture project managers or specialists
such as engineers or professionals seeking to
re-orient their career.
To achieve these goals, we created a part-time
global Executive Master Programme, based in
Berlin. It is structured over 15 months plus
three months for the thesis. The programme
is divided into five modules of one to two weeks,
taking place at two European ESCP Europe
locations and two global immersions, China and
the USA. At the end of the programme you will
receive the degree “Master in Digital Innovation
and Entrepreneurial Leadership”.
In each module, state-of-the-art Business
and Entrepreneurial Open Learning is iterated
by leading academics and top professionals
acting in teams (Tandem Learning & Teaching).
Real-life hands-on projects, events and the
management of a community around your
project combine conceptual and experiential
learning through discovery and practical
application of the digital innovation and
entrepreneurial tool box.
* Location and/or topics may change at short
notice in the interest of a dynamic environment
of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Mix of new and traditional teaching
methods from different disciplines
Our pedagogy combines the analytical, conceptual
and collaborative exigencies needed to develop
a societal intelligence and a very strong and
pragmatic operationality. The methods deployed
are interactive, iterative, participative and
autopoïetic, often experimental and sometimes
deliberately apedagogic. They include highly
conceptual lecture-style sessions, iterative
developmental co-constructive formats, flipped
classroom elements, case studies and radically
hands-on moments.
In every module, narrative (oral and written)
and visual (photography, design and video)
approaches are applied, that are grounded in
cognitive, affective and solidary learning
logics and are frequently deployed by means
of practical real-life challenges.
PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
Projects
Participants will think, design, develop and
launch a start-up and/or innovation venture
in small teams (Entrepreneurial/Innovation
Venture). Learnings from the modules will
be integrated directly and applied to nourish,
inspire and professionalise the venture. All
ventures pitch before a large panel of investors,
entrepreneurs, corporate innovators and other
stakeholders.
Additionally, you will build a powerful and active
community around your project (Stakeholder/
Community Building & Event).
Tandem approach
At any given moment a pedagogical team
composed of academic faculty, professionals
and/or other specialists will co-construct
state-of-the art learnings together with
participants (tandem approach).
In order to understand – theoretically and practically – the meaning and potential of digital
innovation paradigms and entrepreneurship, we combine different methods:
Diversity
Last but not least, the diversity of participants
is an integral element of the pedagogy.
Mentoring
Individual and leadership development are
a key element of our programme. Participants
therefore are guided by experienced mentors,
raising self-awareness and assisting in projects.
This includes constructing a value-creating
event from scratch, which your community wants
to be a part of and derives value and pleasure
from. During a preliminary workshop called
called 'Improbable', participants learn to
construct an artwork from scratch, sensitising
you to the subversive nature of entrepreneurial
activity.
The Incubation in the Blue Factory after each
module in Berlin and Paris provides the
infrastructure and coaching to develop and
set-up the projects.
