A Perspective on Entrepreneurship, Technology & Locative Dynamics

“You know the world is going crazy, when the best rapper is white, the best golfer is black, France is accusing the US of arrogance and Germany does not want to go to war.” [Anonymous Internet joke]

Today I heard an exciting farewell talk of a professor for international management about China in the 21st century. This statement was on one of his last slides. It should make you aware of the fact that stereotypical thinking is often misleading. There are always perfect exceptions and different perspectives, so start thinking outside the box and challenge established conventions.

Another finding:
“Thinking outside the box requires different attributes that include:

• Willingness to take new perspectives to day-to-day work.
  
• Openness to do different things and to do things differently.
  
• Focusing on the value of finding new ideas and acting on them.
  
• Striving to create value in new ways.
  
• Listening to others.
  
• Supporting and respecting others when they come up with new ideas.”
