Big Idea 2014: When A Big Idea is The Big Idea...
New York, USA - December 10, 2013 - Most of us assume globalization and increasing digital penetration means the era of big winners is gone forever. But the evidence suggests otherwise. Paradoxically, the comfortable balanced approach may no longer hedge risk effectively in such an interconnected world. (Hey, didn't everything in my investment portfolio go down together during the last crash?). Rather, with perspective, and the insight I gleaned from the Elberse book, it seems to me that we are moving into an era where less may be more; where a big idea is actually the big idea. Now go out and put that lens to work re-examining your business model and basic mission as a company. You'll be surprised by what you see.

Big Ideas 2014 By Richard Branson: The Year of the Entrepreneur
Virgin Islands (British) - December 11, 2013 - 2014 will be a year of many big ideas, because it will be the year of the entrepreneur. This year has seen the growing trend of entrepreneurship being embraced as a positive way to create the jobs of the present and the future. From being a dirty word in the past, now entrepreneurship is increasingly being celebrated and encouraged - as it should be. There has been a surge in the excitement surrounding start-ups, from Silicon Valley to Silicon Roundabout and beyond. Many internet start-ups came to fruition, and big businesses went public, creating enormous wealth for their founders. That generation are now setting up new businesses, helping to create more jobs and stimulate more innovation.

2013 Business School Dean of the Year
LinkedIn - December 28, 2013 - Transformation is an overused word. It is pulled out of the dictionary to describe some pretty ordinary things. But that is not the case for either Roger Martin or the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. In the 15 years that Martin led Rotman, he utterly transformed the institution from a small, irrelevant Canadian B-school to a legitimate global player. More tellingly, much of the transformation can be chalked up to Martin's force of will, his formidable intellect, and his bold and often provocative decisions that have indisputably made Rotman the best business school in Canada.

Prof. Krzysztof Rybiński: Cele strategiczne przy tworzeniu budżetu Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
Warszawa - 21 grudnia 2013 - "Po pierwsze, zakres działalności państwa powinien być ograniczony tylko do obszarów, w których sektor prywatny sobie nie poradzi. Po drugie, powinna obowiązywać zasada solidarności międzygeneracyjnej, czyli żadna generacja nie powinna zużywać w nadmierny sposób zasobów finansowych i innych kraju kosztem innych generacji. Po trzecie, społeczna zasadność i efektywność wydatkowania pieniędzy podatników powinna być większa niż społeczny koszt ponoszony w postaci utraconych dochodów. Po czwarte, regulacje gospodarcze są potrzebne tylko wtedy, gdy konkurencja rynkowa prowadzi do społecznie nieakceptowanych sytuacji. Wśród celów strategicznych główny i niepodważalny cel to przetrwanie narodu." - pisze prof. dr hab. Krzysztof Rybiński, Rektor Akademii Finansów i Biznesu Vistula w Warszawie.
