Founders Talk 01 | Transforming Family Businesses in the 21st Century through Corporate Entrepreneurship
Wednesday, July 08, 2020 | 5pm to 6pm IST
Dr. Amarpreet Singh Ghura | Faculty of Entrepreneurship
Family businesses contribute a staggering 70% of India’s GDP! However, with a young Indian demographic that is looking towards newer technologies and geographies, focus is on shifting from traditional businesses to technology enabled businesses that are global in nature. The younger work force brings in its own mindset, energy and drive to achieve impact, and the capability to respond well to challenges.
Indian Family Managed Businesses have started to transform themselves by implementing the culture of corporate entrepreneurship. The basic thesis of this session is to highlight:
- What is corporate entrepreneurship and its dimensions
- Need and benefits of corporate entrepreneurship for family managed businesses
- Measuring the readiness of family businesses for corporate entrepreneurship
- How next generation leaders can positively contribute and lead family businesses
