Innovation And Entrepreneurship

Our prosperity and sustainability in the future depends on the ability to innovate. Therefore, innovation needs to be embedded in all sections of an economy. A research study took place in a higher education setting of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on offering an entrepreneurship major to local women students. The aim was to explore the interest and views of these Generation Z students on driving innovation and entrepreneurship in the country through building homegrown companies. This research is highly relevant as the society re-imagines itself post pandemic. The findings from the research may be useful to members of academia, professionals related to this sector, and policy makers of nations. They may use the information to design suitable academic programs for women that may help drive entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability for every strata of the society in the post-COVID-19 era.

Perfect Storm

Palliative care is at a pivotal point in its trajectory. For the last 50 years there has been a focus on service development for the new specialty, the safer use of opioids and obtaining the evidence that palliative care makes a difference, the earlier the better.However the next 50 years will be a massive challenge, but also an opportunity. There will be a shortage of all physicians, not just palliative physicians and this is a perfect storm with our increased longevity, frailty and comorbidities.The lecture will focus on potential solutions, drawing on global innovation and imagination. Having braver conversations about the future is all very well but we also need practical options to improve the care of dying people in all settings not just five-star hospices, and we need to be less risk-averse about supporting patient and family goals of care in a culture dominated by compliance rather than comfort and care!

Innovation And Entrepreneurship

In the context of the financial and credibility crisis, which currently permeates the communication sector, the future of journalism is going to be decided by the confidence of the audiences and their involvement and participation in journalistic processes and products. Based on online sociological surveys, this article explores the knowledge and experience of crowdfunding of Andalusian journalists and students of journalism. This approach gives citizens the power to decide, through their contributions, which projects will go ahead, and it has facilitated the start-up of micromedia and other innovative initiatives, including in Spain, especially due to the emergence in the last five years, of virtual platforms specialising in launching campaigns and social media which facilitate their spread. The results show that, although journalists and journalism students are familiar with the phenomenon of crowdfunding, there are training gaps and few of them have direct experience as initiators or funders of projects. However, the perception of the potential of this approach for innovation and entrepreneurship in journalism is positive, except for those issues related to the financial independence and viability in the medium-term of the projects which have been started. The use of students and journalists in the sample, moreover, allows us to outline the first prospective view of crowdfunding. Ante el contexto de crisis económica y de credibilidad que atraviesa el sector de la comunicación actualmente, el futuro del periodismo va a estar determinado por la confianza de las audiencias, su implicación y su participación en los procesos y en los productos periodísticos. En este artículo se explora, mediante encuestas sociológicas on-line dirigidas a periodistas y futuros profesionales de la información andaluces, el conocimiento y la experiencia que estos tienen sobre el llamado «crowdfunding» o micromecenazgo. Esta fórmula otorga a los ciudadanos el poder de decidir, mediante sus aportaciones, qué proyectos se materializan, y ha posibilitado ya el arranque de micromedios y otras iniciativas innovadoras, también en España, especialmente ante la eclosión, en el último lustro, de plataformas virtuales especializadas en lanzar campañas y de los llamados «social media» que facilitan su difusión. Los resultados muestran que, aunque periodistas y estudiantes de Periodismo están familiarizados con el fenómeno del crowdfunding, existen lagunas formativas y son pocos quienes cuentan con experiencia directa, como impulsores o financiadores, de proyectos. A pesar de ello, la percepción sobre el potencial de esta fórmula para la innovación y el emprendimiento en el ámbito periodístico es positiva, salvo cuestiones relacionadas con la independencia económica y la viabilidad, a medio plazo, de los proyectos arrancados. Contar con estudiantes y periodistas como parte de la muestra permite trazar, además, una primera visión prospectiva del micromecenazgo.

Innovation And Entrepreneurship

ABSTRACTIndia began the process of market liberalization that opened it to significant interactions with the world economy in 1991. In this essay, we provide an overarching view of the country's journey toward integration with the global innovation and entrepreneurship network. Major nodes in this global network have two major components that may be metaphorically referred to as ‘pillars and ivy’. Globally connected multinational enterprises (MNEs) form the pillars. Agile startups are the ivy, and their success (metaphorically, the height to which they can climb) depends on their symbiotic connections with the pillar MNEs. Both components are essential and reinforce each other. Without MNEs, the scaling of startups is hampered. Without a vibrant population of startups, MNEs’ interest in a location remains driven by cost, rather than capability and creativity. MNEs (mainly foreign) provided the initial sparks for the formation of the Indian innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. We chart the subsequent growth of India's startups. They began in the information technology (IT) sector but now cover a much wider range of industries. Today, India's innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem is one of the largest in the world, with global integration in terms of technology, financing, human capital, and administration.

Innovation And Entrepreneurship

Universities are cradles for intellectual and technical innovators, and thus building an innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem in universities is of strategic importance for national development. Most studies in China, from the perspective of collaborative innovation, used the EPM model to analyze the features, elements and operational modes of innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystems in universities based on theories of symbiosis, competition and cooperation, coordination, networking, and the exchange mechanism. Boosted by the strategies to develop the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, universities in Guangdong start to build innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystems equipped with such functions as education, service, practice and research in order to promote sharing of resources, build a well-functioning ecosystem and bolster regional economic growth. To build innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystems, universities can make efforts from the following aspects: to perform overall planning in a top-down manner; to improve the global innovation-entrepreneurship course system and promote multi-pronged course reforms; to introduce excellent teachers and build a team of “triple-competent” teachers; to build a platform for improvement of innovation and entrepreneurship education; to improve innovation and entrepreneurship services and provide customized guidance; encourage training of innovators and entrepreneurs with a global vision to support advancement of the Greater Bay Area and the Belt-and-Road Initiative.
