Youtube Lecture: The Future of Business and the Business of the Future
Click here for a talk by the esteemed Dr Ashok Khosla held in the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. It’s entitled "The Future of Business and the Business of the Future". It’s not organized by us. It’s probably by the LKYSPP.
Anyway, Dr Khosla says a lot in it, but I’ll just point out one little point he stated. That is, social enterprises require a longer time-horizon than normal businesses.
A couple of friends from the NUS Business School opine that business shouldn’t think beyond a year or two because so many things change in a year that business strategies for the long term often become obsolete very fast. I do wonder how social enterprises adapt to new conditions and still keep to their original goals under such conditions.
