Recessions create opportunities for innovative companies to gain competitive advantages. They can acquire distressed assets and talented workers at reduced costs. During the Great Depression, some companies thrived despite the economic hard times. More recent recessions have also dramatically reshaped industry pecking orders. Studies found that mergers and acquisitions during recessions generated higher returns than during booms. The current recession rewards companies with strong records of innovation and those using downturns to reposition themselves, and will likely produce new upstart companies.

Why Is Venture Capital Under Assault By Ss Powell Ibd 4 21 09
Venture capital firms pose no systemic risk to the economy and provide an essential engine for innovation and job creation. The Obama administration's proposal to regulate these firms is misguided and may stem from a lack of understanding of how venture capital differs from Wall Street, or a desire to force alignment with political objectives over economic returns. Venture capitalists and entrepreneurs should voice their concerns about unnecessary regulation that could divert focus from economic goals.

President obama on american business
The document discusses criticisms from American business leaders regarding President Obama's economic policies and their impact on the business community. Several CEOs argue that Obama lacks an understanding of business and that his policies have created an unfriendly environment for investment and job creation. Small business owners also express concerns about increased regulations and healthcare costs hindering hiring. While the private sector has struggled, some note that federal government jobs and spending have increased under Obama. Overall, the document presents negative views of Obama's economic stewardship from various business leaders and organizations.

Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship involves organizing resources in new combinations to generate profit. Successful entrepreneurs increase the value created from resources. They expand economic opportunity for all by introducing innovations. While failures are part of the learning process, they reduce resource value. Empirical research links higher rates of entrepreneurship to stronger economic growth. Promoting individual entrepreneurs and economic freedom better fosters entrepreneurship than government programs or funding alone. The role of government is establishing rules and institutions that allow entrepreneurial efforts to flourish.
Industrial Growth and Systematic Management - Wren
The document discusses the growth of industry and systematic management in the United States following the Industrial Revolution. It describes how the textile industry's growth spawned new industries in transportation and communication, leading to the rise of large-scale organizations that required systematic management. The document also examines factors like the accumulation of resources, debates around labor issues, and the need for more efficient resource use that created conditions for systematic management approaches to emerge.
Industrial Growth & Systematic Management
The document discusses the early development of systematic management practices in the United States from the 19th century through the early 20th century. It describes how early American engineers and managers began developing techniques for improving factory organization and workflow. This led to the growth of systematic management practices focusing on time and wage systems, cost accounting, and coordinating production. The emergence of large corporations and industrialization created demand for more advanced management approaches to handle increasingly complex business operations and labor issues.

How Small Businesses Drive the U.S. Economy
While companies like Walmart and Home Depot make headlines as bellwethers of the U.S. economy, small businesses create more than 60 percent of new jobs.
That’s why tracking the progress of small firms is so important to us.
We know companies are a big driver of the economy, but just how much do small businesses contribute to hiring, growth, innovation?
The infographic below takes a look under the hood of the small business economy to show you just how much small businesses contribute.

Back in 2018, I have been reading books and research studies related to the Technology world and found many thought provoking ideas that can be translated into game changers for the many industries.
Therefore, I would like to share an executive summary of a book called The Third Wave, written by Steve Case - former CEO and Chairman of AOL, with anyone whom may be interested in this subject.
The book highlights 3 main areas to develop for entrepreneurs and what they need to do differently in a Third Wave company to succeed.Using ‘Power Curves’ To Assess Industry Dynamics
The document discusses the use of "power curves" to analyze industry dynamics and inequality among large companies. Power curves show that the distribution of values among top companies often follows a power law distribution rather than a normal bell curve, with a small number of very large companies and many smaller companies. This reveals increasing inequality in size and performance over time. Industries with more intangible assets like software tend to have steeper power curves than more capital-intensive industries. Understanding power curves can provide strategic insights for companies regarding structural industry trends and the need for strategic moves rather than incremental strategies.

Presentation given by Dr Graham Symon and James Kennell at the Thames Gateway London Partnership seminar on localism on 9th December 2010
Graham Symon - Localism in the Thames Gateway
The document discusses different models for economic development in the Thames Gateway region: bureaucratic, rentier, insurgency, and transformational. It argues that the "transformational" model, which integrates contributions from the state, industry, and communities, may be most effective. This model calls for a robust but not overbearing state, socially responsible business investment, and engaged local communities working together through partnerships. Some specific interventions mentioned include localizing finance through investment bonds and currencies, ownership of local assets, skills development, and increasing local accountability and control over economic governance.
Macro 9
This document discusses macroeconomics and the economics of ideas. It covers topics like Paul Romer's growth model, increasing returns from ideas, and how intellectual property rights and incentives can encourage more ideas and innovation. Government policies aim to create a larger market that provides more incentive to generate new ideas.

Top 10 small business trends for 2009 from Emergent Research. Includes economic, demographic and technology trends and shifts.
Presentation more detailed than live version to make it more self-explanatory
Macro 10
This document provides an overview of macroeconomics lecture 10 on saving, investment, and the financial system. It discusses ideas and innovations, and how ideas have increasing returns and can multiply through interactions. It also covers how intellectual property like patents can incentivize innovation through temporary monopolies, and notes some factors that can increase the number of new ideas like education, property rights, and political stability.
Canada Is Home Of The Fearless Entrepreneur
While self-employment in the US has been weak during the recession, in Canada self-employment has risen significantly as more Canadians start their own businesses instead of relying on larger corporations for jobs. Self-employment in Canada has nearly doubled since the 1980s and shows no signs of slowing, as both the government and banks have increased support programs for entrepreneurs. However, some economists worry that increased self-employment may negatively impact productivity and economic growth in Canada.

This document provides a series of questions for an in-class revision exercise on the topics of international trade. The questions ask students to define international trade, list factors contributing to why nations trade, explain how government regulation can influence imports, discuss how importing goods at cheaper prices helps businesses remain competitive internationally, describe the impact of currency appreciation and depreciation on Australia's imports and exports, and explain the social impacts of an economic crash in Australia, including on unemployment, inflation, wages, and spending power. It also asks about America's production of goods to economies of scale and whether this makes goods cheaper to export.
Powerhouses of Recovery: Small and Medium Enterprises during and after the Fi...
This document summarizes a report about small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. SMEs represent an increasing share of enterprises, production, and employment across Europe. SMEs are important during economic downturns as they cushion the impact on economies. SMEs tend to be more oriented toward domestic economies and are more flexible than large enterprises. SMEs also play an important role in economic recoveries as countercyclical measures tend to favor domestic consumption. However, red tape and taxes hinder the growth and export potential of SMEs.
Henry Ford and Social Credit
The Gap is Growing: Solution: Social Credit.
“As we have seen, the more automatic machinery replaces men, the wider becomes the gap between buying power and prices because salaries and wages are thus reduced, leaving other cost items proportionately increased. When we stop to realize that the gap is constantly widening as efficient machine-power rapidly replaces inefficient man-labor in doing the work of the world, it becomes evident that we are reaching the senseless
absurdity of a maximum production and a minimum of consumption. Yet we wonder at the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty !”
Conceptual
The Big Mac Index compares the price of Big Mac burgers across countries to establish purchasing power parity between currencies. It has been published by The Economist since 1986.
Payout ratio expresses the proportion of earnings a company pays out to shareholders in dividends. It is calculated by dividing cash dividends by total earnings. Growth companies tend to have lower payout ratios to reinvest earnings.
Under the gold standard, the supply of money in an economy was backed by gold reserves. Citizens could exchange currency for gold at a fixed rate, stabilizing exchange rates between currencies tied to gold.
New Industrial Age
The document discusses the growth of big business and industry in the late 19th century United States through horizontal and vertical integration. It explores factors that contributed to rapid industrialization like new technologies, abundant resources and labor. The ideologies of laissez-faire and social Darwinism are examined in the context of justifying business practices and limited government intervention. As industry consolidated, labor unions emerged to advocate for workers' rights against long hours, low pay and unsafe conditions.
I-Open
This document discusses new models of economic development needed for a shifting global economy. It notes that the old industrial economy is being replaced by a new knowledge-based, networked economy. This requires more open and collaborative civic leadership and processes focused on strategic doing rather than planning. Communities must build innovation clusters through open networks to attract investment and jobs in this new economy.

Cash reserves will be crucial for businesses struggling to recover from the pandemic. The shutdown led to a build up of outdated inventory that may not sell until next year. Many retailers may never reopen due to financial difficulties, leaving vacant buildings. However, the document suggests on-demand local manufacturing of seasonal goods could help fill the need and utilize empty facilities. Improved technology and understanding of offshoring costs make this strategy more viable now compared to the past. Support through crowdfunding and public-private partnerships may help provide necessary cash for innovative solutions during the recovery period.
Grassroots entrepreneurism working doc
This document discusses the importance of entrepreneurship and grassroots entrepreneurism in transforming the American economy. It argues that entrepreneurship, not large corporations, is the leading force for sustainable economic development and job creation. Most new jobs are created by small, young businesses rather than established firms. While only a small fraction of new businesses receive venture capital funding, privately held firms account for the majority of private sector employment. High-growth entrepreneurs have a disproportionate impact on job creation. The document advocates for supporting grassroots entrepreneurism to spur economic growth and development.
Lectnotes 8 Econ175a
The Lewis two-sector model of economic development proposes that labor migrates from the traditional agricultural sector with low productivity to the modern industrial sector with higher productivity. This allows for more efficient allocation of resources and economic growth. The model helps explain China's rapid growth through large-scale labor migration from farms to factories, freeing up labor to work more productively in higher value sectors and industries and increasing overall productivity and wages.

Us tech startup fund memorandum
Heated competition to get into top private-equity funds is leaving some investors out in the cold.
Pension funds, endowments and wealthy individuals that invest with private equity are finding it increasingly hard to get into the most sought-after funds, according to data and industry participants.
Private-equity firms, which raise money from such investors and then put it to work in various investment strategies, are generally filling their coffers faster this year from clients. The proportion of private-equity funds that reached or exceeded the maximum amount the firms set out to raise this year is at its highest level since at least 2009, according to a snapshot of funds for which private-equity tracker Preqin has data. Typically, firms put a limit on the size of the fund they are raising, known as a hard cap, at the beginning of the fundraising process. That hard cap generally can’t be exceeded without approval from fund investors.
As of Nov. 13, 55% of roughly 280 funds for which Preqin had hard-cap data reached or surpassed that maximum size. Last year, 43% of funds hit or exceeded those limits.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP Innovation and entrepreneurship.pdf
This document discusses the shift in the US economy from a managerial to an entrepreneurial model since the 1960s. While experts predicted stagnation, the US economy created over 40 million new jobs between 1965-1985, primarily through small and medium enterprises, including many new businesses. High technology contributed only 5-6 million jobs; the majority were in other sectors. This represents a profound economic transformation in the US driven by entrepreneurship and innovation rather than large existing companies.

The document discusses Black Tuesday, the stock market crash of October 29, 1929 that marked the beginning of the Great Depression. It examines some of the economic and financial factors that led to the crash, such as poor wealth distribution, overreliance on credit, and speculation in the stock market. The Depression had widespread impacts across the US, including unemployment, homelessness, poverty, and emotional tolls on the population. Farmers and families struggled greatly during this time. The document also discusses how the Depression affected former boxer Jim Braddock and his family through unemployment and inability to afford basic necessities.
Beyond Fear and Greed
Warren Buffett says his guiding principle is to “be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” There’s certainly plenty of fear out there, and thus plenty of opportunities to get greedy. Greed, however, does not necessarily translate into wealth.
In “Beyond Fear and Greed: Capitalizing on Opportunities in the Current Crisis,” we draw on our two years of research into more than 2,500 major corporate failures and our related consulting work to describe the landmines that companies are mostly like to hit as they try to capitalize on the turmoil that has roiled many markets since the summer of 2008. We also lay out a process for stress testing new business strategies, ensuring that greed does not send you down the wrong path and increasing the chances that you’ll pick a highly prosperous road.

Adam Smith argued that economic growth occurs through changes in the division of labor. The author defines entrepreneurship as human actions that lead to changes in the division of labor. Three articles are discussed that provide examples of how entrepreneurship changes the division of labor. The first discusses productive versus unproductive entrepreneurship. The second builds an economic model showing how individuals specialize production. The third highlights how knowledge spillovers from companies and universities lead to spin-offs that exploit innovations.
Formative Capitalism
Did we all around the globe sit down together and decide to follow Capitalism? Was Capitalism in the same form since beginning than now? In fact, it would be unrealistic to say that we decided to pick Capitalism. We just derived into it. And the concepts, forms and philosophy of Capitalism evolved over time.

Dr. Alan Greenspan, Lawrence
Summers from Harvard, Austan Goolgbee, US President’s Council of Economic Advisors are few of the thinks tanks attending the gathering (October 2011).
...................
How is then the New of Form of Capitalism going to shape like? If we recollect from the beginning paragraph, we notice, one of the major advantages of Capitalism was conceived to be “Less Control of Government over markets”. The New Capitalism is believed to start changing its current hue from this point.
............................
Why would Formative Capitalism would survive during recession and depressions? And why should we believe that to? The simplest reason is: because the performance of Formative Capitalists
isn’t just countercyclical, skyrocketing during the downturn and then collapsing.

HR Challenges in Merger & Acquisition
This document summarizes a journal article about addressing human resource issues in mergers and acquisitions. It begins by noting that while M&As are increasingly used for growth, most fail to achieve their goals due to neglected HR issues. It then presents a three-stage model for systematically addressing HR throughout the M&A process. Key points include identifying HR issues in pre-acquisition, post-acquisition integration, and post-integration stages. Attention to cultural differences, talent retention, and clear communication are highlighted as especially important for M&A success. The role of HR professionals in guiding a people-focused approach is also discussed.
Case Study Sealed Air
Sealed Air faces a decision about whether to launch an uncoated bubble packaging product globally or in select markets, or not enter the uncoated market at all. While an uncoated product could help Sealed Air compete with lower-cost alternatives and respond to some distributor demands, it risks diluting the company's brand and diverging from its goals of market leadership and innovation. A new competitor, GAFCEL, has seen success in some US markets with its uncoated product, threatening Sealed Air's market share. Sealed Air must weigh the pros and cons of introducing its own uncoated product versus maintaining its focus on coated packaging.

The article is intended to provide the backdrop for the 2014 Global Peter Drucker Forum in Vienna. It deals with the challenges and opportunities for management in the face of the gigantic changes that we are experiencing in our society. Technology is a game changer - yet it will lead down the wrong path if not accompanied the appreciation of the essence of what it means to be human. Humanist leaders must provide the context and grounding for a society that is in danger to become increasingly technology obsessed. Hence the call for a 2nd Renaissance.
Article 2
- Bill Gates gave an interview where he committed $2 billion to new energy research and argued the US government invests too little in energy R&D compared to other fields like pharmaceuticals.
- The document discusses how governments and states play a key role in high-risk basic research before private companies invest, citing examples from the internet and computing. It also references an economics professor who argues private companies only invest after the state takes on most risks.
- It analyzes the close relationship between governments, especially the US, and the oil industry, noting lobbying against alternative fuels and how reliant some states are on oil exporters, suggesting this hinders investment and progress on new energy sources.
The Characteristics Of An Entrepreneur
The document discusses the roles of entrepreneurs and factors that influence entrepreneurship. It defines an entrepreneur as someone who starts a business and takes on the risks of the venture. It explores characteristics commonly associated with entrepreneurs like optimism and self-confidence. The document also examines social and environmental factors that can encourage entrepreneurial spirit, such as having self-employed parents or experiences with family businesses.
