                  <description><![CDATA[ Steel is one of the industrial sectors under intense pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions. By its very nature, producing steel consumes a lot of energy, which in turn produces a lot of carbon dioxide. But its not as bleak as all that: the steel industry has been trying for decades to find ways to cut CO2 emissions, says Michel Wurth, a member of the management board of ArcelorMittal, the worlds largest steel maker.  ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ Fresh entrepreneurs face the same problem when starting out on their own: “When you are relatively young, with relatively little experience, and you are relatively poor, and you have an unproven new idea, what do you have to do to convince powerful and rich people to give you the first hundred thousand pounds so you can start developing your products?” says INSEAD Associate Professor of Strategy, Quy Nguyen Huy. The answer, it seems, is to pay attention to ‘symbolic management’ at the very earliest stages of a new venture. ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ Innovation isn’t all about great ideas. INSEAD Professor of Entrepreneurship Morten Hansen and visiting professor Julian Birkinshaw argue that companies often fail because they don’t recognise that innovation is a chain that requires strength at every link to succeed. ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ Hakan Ener, a PhD candidate in strategy at INSEAD, comes from Turkey where there is an abundance of entrepreneurial firms. "My family runs an entrepreneurial business in textiles, so I drew on personal experience when looking at research that would interest me. What I noticed from my family's firm is that it is difficult to give up executive power. Decisions have to be made about who should join the leadership team to make, and execute strategy. Wrong choices can lead to major problems in performance, especially for young entrepreneurial firms." ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ In August, the Bancroft family gave up control of Dow Jones, the publishing group it had owned for some 105 years. The group, which includes the Wall Street Journal, has been taken over by another family-controlled business, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, for US$5 billion.<br>
<br>
<br>
According to Randel Carlock, the Berghmans Lhoist Chaired Professor in Entrepreneurial Leadership and Director of the Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise at INSEAD, the Bancrofts had a clear idea of the values they wanted associated with the Wall Street Journal brand - a strong sense of editorial integrity and independence. However, they had been unable to steward the Wall Street Journal into the 21st century as other competitors passed them by and Dow Jones’ stock price fell sharply. ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ While many multinational firms are choosing to outsource services and production to Asia, one company says it’s looking beyond lowering costs and is aiming to ‘globalise its corporate brand’ by developing a major R&D base in India.<br>
<br>
<br>
Wim Elfrink of Cisco Systems, who holds the unique corporate title of Chief Globalisation Officer, says cost differentiation at the company is "a bonus, but the not the main driver anymore." The networking firm is investing around 1.2 billion dollars in a globalisation centre in India to tap not only the region’s growth but also its innovative capabilities. ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ Setting up a new magazine is perhaps riskier now than ever before as more and more people turn to the internet for news and entertainment. Of the thousands of magazines launched each year, most fail and only some 25 per cent survive the first year, says Chris Fodor, who has three decades of experience in magazine publishing. <br>
<br>
Still, this has not stopped either Fodor or Jasper Becker, a former Beijing bureau chief with Hong Kong newspaper, the South China Morning Post, from defying the odds and setting up their own magazines. ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ The new Oliver Stone film W explores an important concern for business and wealthy families - how parent-child relationships shape a child's personality development and, specifically, individual drives and motivations. The coming of age drama could be many family businesses where a feckless son struggles to redeem himself by overtaking his preferred younger sibling to succeed his father as head of the family dynasty. <br>

                  <description><![CDATA[ Creative entrepreneurs can weather the current global economic crisis better than traditional businesses, says Jean-Claude Larréché, INSEAD professor of marketing. Virgin Atlantic, which was founded by British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson in 1984, survived and came out stronger after the airline crisis of the early 1990s when many established airlines went bankrupt, notes Larréché. Speaking via satellite, Branson said a lot of opportunities will emerge as a result of the current global economic slowdown but companies need to be nimble to move quickly and decisively to realise these opportunities.<br>

Too good to be true? According to Mads Kjaer, CEO of the online marketplace MYC4, “investors set the interest rate themselves and bid for it, and many hard-core investors realise even much higher yields.”  ]]></description>

More and more people are using entrepreneurial skills in building sustainable enterprises for profit and non-profit to effect change in India, says Deval Sanghavi, a former investment banker and now president of Dasra. Based in Mumbai, Dasra is a non-profit organisation which bridges the gap between those investing in social change and those spearheading the changes.<br>

But nobody is perfect and even these sophisticated venture companies can improve in their management of uncertainty. When faced with risks and uncertainty, most high technology start-ups in Israel’s telecom industry carry out too much planning and then tend to adopt an insufficiently flexible stance. Conversely, the start-up companies facing low uncertainty appear to make too little diligent planning. ]]></description>

                  <description><![CDATA[ When you are being hounded by the tax authorities because you can’t pay your personal taxes, and when your company has just 30,000 euros left in the bank but is burning 200,000 euros a month - you don’t really feel very successful. This was the situation Gilles Babinet experienced – many times, in fact. It’s also a common occurrence in entrepreneurship, he said during his opening keynote address at the first INSEAD Global Entrepreneurship Forum.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The company was eventually sold for more than 100 million euros. “Real entrepreneurs turn setbacks into opportunities,” he says. “So when a client doesn’t want your product, you can either think that your company is dead or that your product needs improving.” <br>

                  <description><![CDATA[ Social enterprises must currently choose whether to be charitable non-profit organisations or money-making, for-profit companies. The choice is often hard to make since the legal status of each has positive points as well as drawbacks. Because of this, a leading social entrepreneur thinks it is time to create a hybrid legal status for social enterprises.<br>

                  <description><![CDATA[ University students in China were given 1,000 RMB ($146, €112) each and told to turn their ideas into reality: ‘go into the streets, market the products and build something.’ A year later, most of them had something to show for their efforts. As soon as they left school, they were in business. “We also see this culture of entrepreneurship in places like India and the US, but we don’t see it in Europe. This has to change,” says Martin Schuurmans, chairman of the governing board of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). “I do not believe entrepreneurship is in the genes - I believe we can do a lot to build young people into entrepreneurs.” <br>
