It is not necessary that a leader would always have a team to lead, to coordinate to achieve a set target. To me leadership is an instinct which compels one to go on the front step and hit confidently a swinging ball through the meat of the bat for a racing boundary. Instinct is the innate talent that causes a living being to respond reflexively to a given stimulus in a certain way. Many say leadership can't be taught nor can natural timing.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Its like falling in love. One can't plan or prepare to go for it. Its the collection of basic instincts that pushes her to take control of adverse situations...which makes her see an opportunity where there are none. Some dare to think beyond whats right & whats wrong, whats acceptable & whats unacceptable. It was only when man dared, he could fly high, he could walk... Only when we dare, we can think on new lines. Only then can one see solutions where others see problems. It is exactly when one switches his focus for direction to inside of herself instead of outside entity. Captain Jack Sparrow's compass can be looked upon as the guide when external landmarks aren't clear enough. Especially when we one finds oneself facing a fast-changing reality, the ability to maneuver the "internal frame of reference" to quickly match a new, changed reality or a new problem - tastes new success.</span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">To lead one should be able to submit also. Weaknesses may surface as fear, a lack of confidence, or even arrogance. One needs to accept them & then overcome them. Else these remain as hidden obstacles to thoughts & so to actions. Each one of us, has a continuous thought process, where we think about things happening around us, and we decide what is best for us to do to survive. If we try to introspect what we do, we find that usually we do have all the options that even the most successful people have. But what makes it different are the choices we make and the priorities we assign to them. To lead one needs to first be able to support the very thought process which identifies her in the very first place. One who is able to this is so-called a "Confident person". I would call such a person a leader also as she has been able to take control of herself and lead herself from the front.</span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">History is evident to the fact that its the worst of situations which give birth to the best of leaders, quite possibly because its when we really need one. It is quite rightly then, that one experiences a personal challenge. A person who is confident of what one thinks, can only focus on what crisis the society is facing as a whole. A leader starts to think beyond the needs of a typical human. This is the process by which we develop new ideas and learn that our existing notions are incorrect or inadequate. The Maslow's need theory possibly takes a shuffle for them. This I would say what spawns the creation of a leader. </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Our own thought process teaches us, to be bold in what we believe. It shows with time that it pays to stick to them, and its only then that we can someone else believe in those results. In one word, we call it determination. When we think, we give birth to a thought which is identified by two major things - the way we identify it & the extent to which we back it. As a human, we have the tendency to conform to things that bring a higher feeling of safety in us. So a thought projected by a confident person in an effective way gets our approval and so the thought grows as the number of people to support increases. Not surprising that we remember leaders by the very thoughts they stood by.</span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Researchers have been puzzled a lot by the team of ants at work for they execute their operations with high efficiency and with high motivation. The question we face as to how can they achieve this without a leader? The way I make sense of it comes something like this... For a layman, we know there is a CPU in the computer which coordinates all the signals, processes & hardware in the computer. If we look into it a bit deeper, we come to know that each component has a processing unit of its own. Probably ants too have a little bit of leadership instinct in each one of them. When faced with a difficulty each one of them takes the initiative to solve it. Many of them come together to make possible things that very few species can be proud of on earth. So I would call it wrong to define a leader to a person who leads a team. Rather leadership is a spirit that lives in each of us. Some believe in it, rest wait for confirmation from others that they are right. One should always hold onto some quotient of responsibility for oneself and the situation one is in. Whether to ignore our “leadership instinct” - decides which side we are on.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 16px;font-size:small;">By: Shantanu Biswas ( Contributor, Leadership Article Contest )</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 16px;font-size:small;">Batch of 2008-10</span></span></p>Rome Melehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02609239037446720284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593754402612039097.post-88989359546713626202009-09-25T23:07:00.000-07:002009-09-25T23:09:27.900-07:00The discomfort that keeps one awake…<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="line-height: 115%; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The unvanquished warrior was confident in his strength. So, when given the option to choose between a fully equipped, belligerent army and a single unarmed man, he chose the later. All that he wanted was a driver for his chariot. How this unarmed charioteer gave guidance to the chariot and the warrior would later become a shining episode in a culture, revered by a civilization, enthralling the world for ages to come…</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Arjuna knew that even the most well disposed armies can go haywire if not led ably. But much before the age of Mahabharatha, even before evolution of human race, leadership existed. Animal packs and flocks of birds stuck with their leads. The footprints left by the leader manoeuvred the followers and thus made a trail for those who come. Leaving the exception of probably ants, every living species replicates this blueprint. It's embedded in the genetic code- in a majority, to be led, and in a selected few, to lead. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">What makes a leader? Why are leaders so few? Cutting through a myriad of elaborated theories and sophisticated models, Seth Godin in his latest book "Tribes" says, "Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. The scarcity makes leadership valuable." Perusing the annals of history, we see proof of the struggles that leaders over the centuries have taken to remove thorns from the trail they leave. They stay awake for their tribe to sleep soundly. Often the portrait of a leader is of one who is smug in luxuries. But remember that any leader not having discomfort is passing it on to the multitude that looks up to him.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">As the quote from the movie goes, a leader is the one who ‘got vision when the rest of the world wears bifocals’. He sees the tomorrow for his followers and enables them to achieve it. Defining the role of a leader can be tricky. He is required wherever and whenever there is lack of clarity. He may be omnipresent or barely visible. As Lao Tzu noted, “A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.”</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">It’s interesting to see how Krishna concluded his magnificent discourse which we now call “Bhagavath Geetha”. He tells Arjuna, "Vimarsedath asheshena Yadhechhasi Thadha Kurum"- Fully ponder over what I said and do as you like. A leader, therefore, never spoon feeds. He keeps the options open for his followers; he lets them apply their minds. He should never tell how to do but just what to do.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">A leader may start by making the masses believe in him. But his ultimate aim should be in making them believe in themselves. And this happens by giving away power. By giving away power, a leader gains the respect. Thus a leader should be judged not by the number of followers, but by number of leaders he has given rise to.</span></span></span><span style="font-size:8.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;">By: Prasanth Vijay ( Winner of Leadership Article Contest )</span></span></p>Rome Melehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02609239037446720284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593754402612039097.post-61146462936147360862009-09-25T23:00:00.000-07:002009-09-25T23:06:54.661-07:00The quick guide to leadership in the last 5000 years, excluding large tracts after Big Bang<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">In the age of motivational speakers and self-help books, it would seem but natural when phrases like “</span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">decisive leadership</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">”, “</span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">walking the talk</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">”, “</span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">visionary leadership</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">”, “</span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">seven habits of highly successful people</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">” pervade our conversations .And not just in academic courses like MBA where leadership styles will be examined in great depth, these phrases will find a welcoming home even in informal chats .Is this truly </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">the Age of Every Man is a Leader</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">?

It just sunk in that even a group CEO with a staggering three decade experience is after all a normal human being with mannerism which would put any high flying student to shame.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Mr Pandit started with the point that our theme of leadership and entrepreneurship was apt and perfect for economic scenarios we are in .This is the perfect time for students like us to explore the area of entrepreneurship .This he validated by emphasising on the fact that we now have an open economy after the 1991 liberalisation and it is much easier to execute our plans which was extremely difficult 20 years back. </span>
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> He further focused on innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of technology .Giving examples of innovations like apple iphone and the product of Amazon Kindle which as an ebook is changing the format of reading on paper. These innovations have taken these companies forward and strengthened their positions in the market. Hence such incremental innovations are essential in today’s immense competition. Thereby he said that we have opportunities to become entrepreneurs in the technology sector.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Taking a leaf from Dr Gupte’s speech he reiterated the point that entrepreneurship can also be in the form of intrapreneurship in any company. It is not possible for all to start a venture on their own .Hence as an employee we need to find make innovations and generate ideas for the project we are working in. He gave the example of employees in KPIT Cummins who innovate solutions and processes that benefit their clients thereby fulfilling the entrepreneurial spirit from within a company. </span>
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> He further talked why India is a perfect destination for an entrepreneur , enlightening us with his concept of three D’s. Demography , Democracy , Diversity. India demography consisting of a huge middle class is the driver for various businesses. This class along with its ambition to grow and use the fruits of purchasing power always allows products to be accepted .Democracy allows every Indian to function and plan on freely within legitimacy, without the biases of religion. Further , he talked of our vast diversity enables us for many more business opportunities as ideas from one region could be sold in another. Our diversity also makes an Indian consumer to more open to new products and items.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Lastly Mr Pandit threw light on going green by companies .Hence innovation in this aspect are essential for ensuring a safer Earth .The innovations on hybrid cars using electricity could be the future of automotive industry. Urging us to adhere to green concepts and innovations as we will part of businesses.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Mr Pandit ended his beautiful speech thanking all dignitaries and urged us students to take up the future with responsibility and curiosity .The spirit of entrepreneurship will make us leaders may be as a company owners or even as normal employees .</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> It was memorable and enlightening experience to escort Mr Ravi Pandit and also listen to his beautiful and apt speech.</span>

He explained that we today live in boxes, work in boxes and sleep in the night with a belief that we have worked very hard today. He focused on thinking out of the boxes to become creative in one’s life.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">He encouraged us to get inspired by all different means that come through our life. Each source of inspiration that he suggested was shown through multiple ads. The first source of getting inspired is by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill and Steve Jobs etc. It was all shown in an inspiring video of all the world’s great leaders. Next source is by ordinary people. These days, many big brands use ordinary people for their advertising which has now become a creative thinking approach in the field of advertisements. </span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">The other part of his speech included how the current advertising industry uses the inspiration by wildlife and children. He explained that movies, music and surroundings have great impact in today’s advertising world. The different videos shown consist of all different advertising appeals including humour appeal, emotions appeal and sex appeal. While some ads were related to be getting inspired by the history the others were by the current technology.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Overall, his whole speech was focused on the importance of creativity and out of the box thinking in advertising world. The one hour he spoke was indeed a great inspiring and learning session for all of us and the people enjoyed themselves watching all such humorous and creative ads.</span><br /></span>SIIB Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11743811475403049919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593754402612039097.post-58111296004745640532009-09-11T04:06:00.001-07:002009-09-11T04:15:13.602-07:00Leadership2009 Chief Guest: Mr.Ravi Pandit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKOzcFGBbaDj8xlxo6pbvcwmQjbWK2fuJvyQa2zlZd4xWpYkmoKdCjLEoLAT0Nv2qFiN8BtjQxQMO5tbDz9LmftR4mYohZT1kBmObdRPg62HDD68qx1eF3rmy8du41EEgISqwpNF6YeSWu/s1600-h/ravi+pandit.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 149px; height: 171px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKOzcFGBbaDj8xlxo6pbvcwmQjbWK2fuJvyQa2zlZd4xWpYkmoKdCjLEoLAT0Nv2qFiN8BtjQxQMO5tbDz9LmftR4mYohZT1kBmObdRPg62HDD68qx1eF3rmy8du41EEgISqwpNF6YeSWu/s400/ravi+pandit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380166185743167858" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;"><b>Chairman & Group CEO of KPIT Cummins</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Mr. Pandit is a gold medalist and fellow member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and an associate member of the Institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India.

Kalyanasundaram<br />MD, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">His talks on innovation in Pharma industry:</span></span><br />Historically, the pharmaceutical industry has been the fountainhead for innovation. It is the most specialized and innovative industry. It has breakthrough scientists who have won many noble prizes working for it.<br />The core strength of this industry is innovation and the three most important factors with regard to this industry being successful are:<br /><ul><li>The key component is science for innovation and a long term inclination to be ready to invest in science.</li><li>There is a major need to be in touch with the real life i.e. the people and the problems being faced by them to understand what all innovations are needed.<br /></li></ul>It is needed for companies to commercialize the whole string of operations because if they can’t then it will not be a successful business.<br />Deep understanding of science and intuition is what leads to a scientist to become innovative. Because, of the hundred thousand of molecules that are tested by them in the laboratories, its only a chosen one or two that are actually and finally approved to pass the regulatory standards. So the factor of risk associated with this industry is very high.<br />The inherent characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry that makes innovation a necessity are:<br /><ul><li>It is dynamic, diverse and sophisticated.<br /></li><li>It is not exposed much to the public, rather more inclined towards the experimental and quiet side.</li><li>Global and internationalized as each company in the industry is spread through various countries.</li><li>Highly fragmented with large number of players in the market.</li><li>Intensely competitive, as the returns are very attractive.</li><li>Technology and research driven.</li><li>Highly regulated as the product needs to be patented and permission needs to be taken by the government to sell the medicines.</li><li>It is a knowledge industry.<br /></li></ul>Not many industries can cope with increase in spending when the outputs being given are zilch or almost next to them. Even when the product is introduced after so much of work, the industry is never sure whether the market will accept it or not and 90% of them never even break even. The amount of money spent by the various companies of the industry is almost the same for the development of the same drug but the realization that they get varies by leaps and bounds because of the advantage for moving at proper time.<br />Drugs don’t behave the same for all people and in all regions.

CV Krishnan,</span> <span style="font-size:100%;">CEO Sterlite</span><br /><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />As an individual, how do we define leadership?<br />Leadership means the ability to have a vision about what we want to be. What values will we continue to maintain through our life? How will we cultivate them? What is our mission during our lifetime? What milestones do we want to achieve? And so on and so forth.<br />We should have clarity of thoughts, decide on strategies, review them periodically and monitor them to check for faults. Lets ask this question .Do we have vision a picture of our morrow?<br />Family is at the first rung of an institution that we come across in our lives. What is leadership in family? Unlike on individual level, where our visions and strategies matter, leadership in a family is one of an integrator. The position of our parents and grandparents is that of an enabler for us. When we have children or siblings, small enough to need our attention, our role becomes that of an enabler, a motivator. Somebody who can provide resources, manages continuous change in family, and has an ability to perceive the thoughts and needs of the family. Organisations have many families many individuals. What they need are cheerleaders who can create a vision for organisation and make everybody accept it as their own vision.<br />Vision is something that is unreachable. If it is reachable then it will be a plan. Every employee dreams of achieving. A Leader should articulate the vision accordingly. He should continuously talk about it. It should be treated like a religion to ensure that it gets part of the system. It is not mere change; it is a kind of leadership that enables the exploration of new and innovative ways to drive value and to deliver in an ever changing business environment. It allows individuals to thrive at the edge of chaos. It is not just managing people in steady state; it is taking responsibility to remove barriers that inhibit the optimal and sustainable performance of the being, to follow the organisation. It is about recognising the explicit and implicit values of the individual and then energises and inspires others accordingly.<br />Leadership is based on principles of pioneering, innovating, exploring new dimensions. It provides greater anxiety in a way a company can integrate process, people, and technology to create competitive advantage. Transformational leadership includes a kind of visionary that can articulate will and success so that everyone gets completely engulfed in it. It is systematic process that involves purposeful and organisational search for change. It is a systematic analysis and movement of resources from areas of lesser production to areas of greater productivity. The transformational leaders have a knack of relating to people in an intuitive and empathetic ways and projecting ideas into them to excite them. They are also high risk takers where opportunities and rewards are high. Some more qualities of a transformational leaders are that they ensures open system in the organisation, are able to recognise the interrelationship and thus create synergies between people, process, resources and technology, harnessing creativity and inspiration from seemingly chaotic situation.<br />The leader should always have an agenda. The agenda is his road map to the vision he creates. He should see to it that the enthusiasm is channelized properly.<br />Many leaders are good speakers. They only preach. But a transformational leader must avoid over advocacy of any concept. Autocratic and directive behaviour is acceptable under crisis.</span>SIIB Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11743811475403049919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593754402612039097.post-51986835971503894762009-08-28T21:48:00.000-07:002009-08-28T21:50:59.155-07:00The philosophy of Entrepreneurship"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Anconia. "Have you ever asked what the root of money is? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?<br />…<br />"To the glory of mankind, there was, for the first and only time in history, a country of money--and I have no higher, more reverent tribute to pay to America, for this means: a country of reason, justice, freedom, production, achievement. For the first time, man's mind and money were set free, and there were no fortunes-by-conquest, but only fortunes-by-work, and instead of swordsmen and slaves, there appeared the real maker of wealth, the greatest worker, the highest type of human being--the self-made man--the American industrialist. <br />"If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose--because it contains all the others--the fact that they were the people who created the phrase 'to make money.' No other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had always thought of wealth as a static quantity--to be seized, begged, inherited, shared, looted or obtained as a favor. Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created. The words 'to make money' hold the essence of human morality. “<br /><br /><br />-Francisco’s Money speech ( http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=1826 ) “Atlas Shrugged”, Ayn Rand<br /><br />“To make money” or to “to create wealth”, as the parlance goes; has been glorified, vilified and much debated since when time for a chat was at hand. The self-made woman will have at some point said that given a canvas she can do a better job , using gumption, guts and a business sense tingling she sets out on a road to create her own job.<br /><br /><br />The entrepreneur, more often than not, is not enamored of the wealth or riches which a successful entrepreneur entails: he climbs the mountain because it is there. He has an idea, an idea whose time has come and then to paraphrase what Paul Coelho would have said:”if the entrepreneur desires the idea to come to life, the entire universe conspires to get the enterprise up and running”.<br /><br />Any successful economy has its share of legends: of women lionized because they set out on a path which many chose not to because it was tougher. Entrepreneurs change rules of game: they often set out to challenge the established business model itself. New upstarts and ambitious startups are what keep the wheels of innovation constantly turning.<br /><br />Entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship is nurtured in a society which believes the better mousetrap is no less than a noble ideal : where failures in business are looked upon as a but an attempt to change the world which will have another go at.<br /><br /><br /><span
