Entrepreneurship by Design: The entrepreneur, the designer and the ideal star...Julien Kerlidou
ABSTRACT: 21st century is marked by a fast-changing world qualified as ‘VUCA’ (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) facing exceptional mutations (digital revolution, environmental concern, multiplication of crises, emergence of new ways to work, produce, consume, collaborate...).
In this new paradigm, companies and societies have the injunction to innovate to find new models. If large companies - which dominated the 20th century – lack of agility and experiment trouble to manage change, two new figures emerged as potential heroes of this 'new economy': the entrepreneur and the designer.
But, surprisingly, no link is ever made between these two fields.
This thesis will explore research on entrepreneurship (part 1) and design (part 2) to determine potential similarities, complementarities and specificities of these two emerging figures (part 3). It will notably suggest opportunity, innovation and value creation as the common ground, explore the role the designer can play in a startup. It will finally propose a model for the ideal startup (Entrepreneurship by Design) and underline the need for new hybrid profiles. These proposals will be illustrated through the author's own hybrid experience between Entrepreneurship and Design in a startup.

As managing ESG and sustainability issues have become mainstream business practice, there is no doubt in the minds of corporate leaders that ESG/sustainability issues should be a top priority agenda in boardrooms. However, it is still challenging to integrate ESG/sustainability considerations fully into business practices due to the difference between short-term financial goals and longer-term ESG/sustainability performance. Thus, top executives usually give weight to the shorter-term financial metrics when trade-offs between financial and ESG/sustainability performance come into focus. How can companies achieve short-term profits and ESG/sustainability goals at the same time?

The document provides guidance on evaluating startup ideas and reducing startup failure rates. It discusses that making a successful startup is an art, while making one that doesn't fail is a science.
