Silicon Valley with IE Business School: Part II

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , , , on November 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

A lot of hints to share in this post… I’m angry because yesterday I already had 3 paragraphs written when suddenly the WordPress for Blackberry shut down… Grrr! I will get an iPhone! Well, after the first – already mentioned – day with visits to Google, Electronic Arts and Symantec, in the next day we [...]

Since 2010, with the arrival of more people dedicated to improve everything related with Blended Education at IE, changes have been occurring to a number of programs and processes. Some important changes where the change of the second face-to-face week of the Master in Digital Marketing (MDM) from London to the Silicon Valley. The other [...]

My first research findings

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , , , on May 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

The second part of the interview I gave last week (please see lat post). Reporter: What were the findings? Newton Campos: The main conclusion was that the social context, in this case “Latino”, had more importance in the process of enterprising than the level of economic development of countries and their institutions. That is, the [...]

Why I joined the academy

Posted in 1.Capitalism, 2.Entrepreneurship, 5.My life, tagged , , , , , on May 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I just gave an interview to the magazine of the business school where I did my Ph.D., FGV-SP Fundação Getulio Vargas de São Paulo. Since the interview will be published in Portuguese and only in São Paulo city, I think I could make it public in advance in English for people interested in some debate [...]

From these places where time is money

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, 3.Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on March 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Benjamin Franklin’s famous quote “time is money” summarize very well what I observe when exposed to places such as New York, Amsterdam or London. It was in those cities, among few others, that the monarchs, politicians and entrepreneurs of the last centuries “invented” capitalism. I am spending this weekend in London due to an MBA [...]

Entrepreneurship and Latinity

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , , , , on June 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

As I travel around and read about capitalism I can’t avoid seeing some patterns in the recent development of some regions. Entrepreneurial ventures in Latin culture-based countries with long Catholic tradition are different from those created under other social contexts and I believe that at least two former state cities of Asia exposed to European [...]

The importance of names

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, 5.My life, tagged , , on May 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I keep asking myself how important names really are to the success of products and projects. Would Nike be as successful as it is if it was called pride, salt, Shiva or any other combination of letters with singular meanings? Would U2 be as successful as it is if it was named hurricane, table or [...]

Can you teach and learn entrepreneurship?

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , , , on May 19, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I always felt bizarre within this emerging “industry” of entrepreneurship. After all, I consider myself a practitioner without much success up until now (up until now). Practitioners do not believe much in business academics and academics think they can explain, at least partially, the phenomenon. Actually, in my point of view, anyone can explain, at [...]

Santos-Dumont, Wright brothers and the “spirit” of Entrepreneurship

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , , , on May 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

This small reflection comes from my PhD dissertation, during a short passage where I examine the power of the rationalized Anglo-American “spirit” of entrepreneurship when compared to the Latin French-Brazilian “spirit” behind the invention of the airplane: In the first decades of the 20th century, Schumpeter identifies this strength of the Unternehmergeist (“Entrepreneur-spirit” in German) [...]

Emerging markets, emerging economies, emerging what?

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , on May 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I just wanted to explain, briefly, why I prefer using the term “entrepreneurship in emerging markets” rather than “entrepreneurship in emerging countries” or something like that in this blog. More than a morphological distress, I think the question I raise here is quite valid. In English, an emerging market may also denote the emergence of [...]

Innovation in Emerging Markets

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , , on April 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

When I started to study entrepreneurship a bit more critically some years ago I came up with a simple question that would take me to Haiti in 2007: Are there innovative entrepreneurs in places where stability is often put in jeopardy by political and socioeconomic adversities? How do they emerge and survive? This question annoyed [...]

Is it ethical to be rational?

Posted in 2.Entrepreneurship, tagged , , , on April 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Some months ago, here in Brazil, a friend of mine went to visit a poultry farm of a friend of him, an entrepreneur. He enjoyed a lot the visit and told me that he was really happy to see that his entrepreneur friend was making good money after he implemented the new rationalized way of [...]
