Download or read book Hedge written by Nicolas Colin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For three decades we've been living through a paradigm shift. Our world is moving from the fading Fordist age to the ever-strengthening digital age. This shift is as unstoppable as the one that once brought us from railroads and steel mills to Fordist factories. And its impact on our lives is just as radical. In this context, the lessons from history are clear: Providing economic security for the many generates prosperity for all. But this can only be done with the right safety net supporting both households and businesses against the risks brought about by the digital age. There are those who long to re-establish the standards and regulations that marked the post-war boom. Others, especially in tech, realize that the institutions we know are anachronistic and no longer fit for today's challenges. Alas, neither group is considering the real solution: A complete redesign of our safety net that will let it do its critically important job without getting in the way of progress. Moving toward that new design is what Hedge is all about. Advance Praise "An eye-opening primer to the technological present, proposing bold solutions for a 'Safety Net 2.0' and a better future for all." - Carlota Perez, author of Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital: The Dynamics of Bubbles and Golden Ages. "Hedge brings together a deep reading of the history of economic development through transformational technology with Nicolas's own direct experience as a co-founder of The Family." - William H. Janeway, Senior Advisor, Warburg Pincus, author of Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy. "A sharp and historically grounded analysis of how technology and the political economy of the West have evolved in tandem." - Kim-Mai Cutler, Partner, Initialized. "An important book which poses profound questions about the social and political effects of technological change." - Sir Nick Clegg, former UK Deputy Prime Minister. "Hedge should become part of Silicon Valley's playbook, because we urgently need to come together and find ways to uplift humanity in these times of radical change." - Vivek Wadhwa, Distinguished Fellow at Harvard Law School and Carnegie Mellon University. "Carefully documented yet contemporary, Hedge makes for compulsive and thought-provoking reading, which will hopefully stir you into action." - Azeem Azhar, Founder, Exponential View.

Book excerpt: What comes to your mind when you hear entrepreneurship? Or when you think of the word entrepreneur? To some, it evokes the image of being your own boss, running a profitable venture. Not jumping out of bed every working weekday preparing for work and hopping on your car or the next commuter to get to the office and face the usual daily tiring grind that you hate so much. This fairyland of freedom and cash to boot is what many people see when they think of entrepreneurship. And you can't blame them, because that's what the internet gurus are preaching these days and their voices are ever so loud, it's almost drowning. But is that really what entrepreneurship is all about?Is that what being an entrepreneur entails? This dream that the gurus are selling is partly true but that's not the whole story. Entrepreneurship is way more complex than the fancy lifestyle, that gets everyone that has blood flowing in their veins, excited. Way before the big breakthroughs and successes that you see at the surface, are years of toiling, and suffering. That's the side of the story you don't hear often. But that's about to end. Because in this book, I am going to expose everything you need to know about entrepreneurship, becoming an entrepreneur, and the most important skillset you need to develop and have in order to become a successful entrepreneur, yourself So, let's get started right away.

Download or read book A Brief History of Entrepreneurship written by Joe Carlen and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brief History of Entrepreneurship charts how the pursuit of profit by private individuals has been a prime mover in revolutionizing civilization. Entrepreneurs often butt up against processes, technologies, social conventions, and even laws. So they circumvent, innovate, and violate to obtain what they want. This creative destruction has brought about overland and overseas trade, colonization, and a host of revolutionary technologies—from caffeinated beverages to the personal computer—that have transformed society. Consulting rich archival sources, including some that have never before been translated, Carlen maps the course of human history through nine episodes when entrepreneurship reshaped our world. Highlighting the most colorful characters of each era, he discusses Mesopotamian merchants' creation of the urban market economy; Phoenician merchant-sailors intercontinental trade, which came to connect Africa, Asia, and Europe; Chinese tea traders' invention of paper money; the colonization of the Americas; and the current "flattening" of the world's economic playing field. Yet the pursuit of profit hasn't always moved us forward. From slavery to organized crime, Carlen explores how entrepreneurship can sometimes work at the expense of others. He also discusses the new entrepreneurs who, through the nascent space tourism industry, are leading humanity to a multiplanetary future. By exploring all sides of this legacy, Carlen brings much-needed detail to the role of entrepreneurship in revolutionizing civilization.

And Teresa (“Resa” for short) is starting with the lemonade stand competition her teacher assigned to the class—but making it a success is going to be a lot harder than Resa thinks. The prize: line-skipping tickets to Adventure Central. The competition: Val, Resa's middle school nemesis. And the biggest obstacle to success: Resa's own teammates. Harriet is the class clown, Amelia is the new girl who thinks she knows best, and Didi is Resa's steadfast friend—who doesn't know the first thing about making or selling lemonade. The four of them quickly realize that the recipe for success is tough to perfect—but listening to each other is the first step. And making new friends might be the most important one...

Download or read book Entrepreneurs in High Technology written by Edward B. Roberts and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-08-22 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ingredients for success in starting and developing a technology-based company aren't obvious. Why, for example, did Digital Equipment Corporation succeed--and indeed become one of the most successful high-tech corporations in the world--while dozens of other companies with similar beginnings fail? It is a question that demands careful consideration by anyone setting up a new company or who is interested in starting one. In Entrepreneurs in High Technology, Edward Roberts, a Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, offers entrepreneurs a goldmine of information on starting, financing, and expanding a high-tech firm. His book reveals the results of research conducted over twenty-five years on several hundred high-tech firms, and it reflects the insights of the author's own first-hand experience as a company founder, director, and venture capitalist. Focusing on firms in the Greater Boston area--many of which have had technological links with MIT--Roberts traces the origins and the evolution of the high-technology failures and successes. He examines the work experience and family backgrounds of successful technical entrepreneurs, their sources of funding, and the ways they respond to the challenge of business growth. He compares the track records of firms with multi-founder teams and firms with individual founders, contrasts the performance of consulting firms and research-and-development contractors against companies that start out with a product, identifies the factors that limit an enterprise's ability to raise outside capital, and explores the critical influence of marketing orientation on successful companies. In a penetrating analysis of highly successful ventures, the author reveals the importance of strategically transforming the company to a market-oriented focus, and he examines the widespread tendency, even among the most successful high-tech firms, to displace the founder before the company achieves "super-success." For anyone planning to start a technology-based enterprise, Entrepreneurs in High Technology is essential reading--an invaluable preview of the financial, organizational, and marketing issues that confront every new high-tech venture. For business and technology watchers, it is an informative account of the promise and the perils entailed in bringing innovative ideas to the marketplace.
