Enterprise is the core engine of economic growth. It’s broadly accepted that without enterprise and entrepreneurs there would be very little innovation, less productivity growth and even fewer new jobs being created. According to the management consultant and author John Hagel, entrepreneurs are people who see an opportunity to create value and are willing to take a risk to capitalize on that opportunity. They are needed in every part of the organization and in every kind of organization – not only business enterprises but also NGOs, government agencies and educational institutions.
The more successful we are at generating entrepreneurs in our society, the more dynamic our world will be, and the faster it will change, creating a need for even more entrepreneurs. In this edition of the Library Newsletter the IESE Library presents a selection of resources to help you better understand the entrepreneurial society we live in.
