Made in Singapore Entrepreneurs – Innovation Magazine

Recently I read this article from ‘Innovation Magazine’ and couldn’t agree more with Guy Kawasaki in his inteview. Well, it’s a great read and a nice summary about the problems facing Singapore in our road to cultivating entrepreneurs.

Excerpt:

‘I: What do you see as the biggest difference between the United States and Singapore in terms of inculcating entrepreneurship? What do you think the local environment lacks?

Kawasaki: Singapore has based its educational system on the expectation that its graduates will work for the government or multinational corporations (MNCs), neither of which prepares one for entrepreneurship. In America, if you work for a large company for a long time, people ask why. In Singapore, if people leave a large company, people ask why. This is a huge difference.

In addition, the Singapore leadership has been visionary and strong and as a result have developed the strategies and tactics for the growth of the country from the top down. As a result, the educational system has encouraged the society to learn and pick up knowledge and facts but not necessarily to be creative, which is a key factor in entrepreneurship.’

Singapore Entrepreneurs Website Revamped

I finally found time to revamp the blog after reviewing the structure of CNET news.com, numerous other popular blogs and even soccernet.com. Please give your comments about our new layout but I only want to hear the good stuff. :) Took quite a bit of hard work.

One more thing. I have created expandable post summaries. From now on, please click on the title of individual posts to view the entire article. The messy links system at the sidebar is also tidied up and there is less clutter in the individual posts.
