NURTURING ENTREPRENEURS
Entrepreneurs are universally celebrated, but what if modern-day entrepreneurship is creating ventures that do more harm than good?
While the great entrepreneurs of the past were lauded for their breakthrough innovations, can the same be said of modern-day enterprises that rake in profits without making a single sale, stifle competition and monetise data captured through monitoring people’s behaviour online?
The good or harm done by modern-day entrepreneurs is the focus of this year's Straits Times Education Forum, presented by Singapore Management University (SMU).
Come and listen to a robust debate on the motion: “Entrepreneurs today do more harm than good”. Arguing the motion are cyborg rights activist Aral Balkan, Ashoka Country Director for Singapore and Malaysia Sumitra Pasupathy, SMU Provost-Designate Professor Timothy Clark and SMU Associate Professor of Strategic Management Reddi Kotha. This year’s debate speakers will include two junior college students and alumni from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and SMU.
