A essay on cultural entrepreneurship in 21s century – Prof Girp Hagoort
Entrepreneurship is derived from french word Entreprendre which means “to undertake”. The term Entrepreneurship is a broad topic that touches every aspect of human society. The very device that I am using to write this post used to be wide variety of raw materials found as ore, chemicals etc. This journey from raw materials to a beautiful Macbook was made possible by many different Entrepreneurs and their Enterprises who used number of strategies, systems, business models etc. In simplistic terms, they started off with intentions for e.g. spotted an opportunity or a gap or even to answer their calling and after number of trail and error they successfully built an enterprise that could fulfil the need of the market. As different pieces 0n the chess board they work together to create a dynamic system such as processing of the raw materials, supply chains, manufacturing, R&D, design and development, marketing, distribution etc. During each stage entrepreneurship makes impact on economic, societal and cultural level.
In this essay the author focuses on the Cultural Entrepreneurship, Cultural Entrepreneurship is a collectiveness of roles and functions with each role having its own entrepreneurial profile. These not only include Creative and cultural industries but also individual freelancers.
I understand that at core entrepreneurship is about all about collaboration between people or organisation to achieve mutual benefits. The author puts emphasis on how times has changed with digitisation, globalisation, inter cultures, crowd thinking and new way disruption within business hierarchy and models. It has become even more important to collaborate and the upside potential is huge, now according to author, its “Collaborate or die”
According to author, to achieve optimised collaboration the following routes should be taken
Education
Practise
Business
Research
Policy making
With collaborative entrepreneurship together businesses can provide and achieve economic, societal and cultural value.
