Title:

Entrepreneurship in the Belly of the Beast

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
John Tolva, IBM
Description:
Small is beautiful at SXSW. From Getting Real to starting up, the ethos is largely anti-large corporation. This attitude overlooks one of the most satisfying professional accomplishments: doing your own thing while working for The Man. This presentation uses examples to offer strategies for making the corporation work for you.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What's the problem with large corporations and creativity?
  2. Why is the startup ethos so antithetical to the corporate ethos?
  3. What are examples of real independence in large corporations?
  4. What exactly does it mean to be an entrepreneur inside a corporation?
  5. Is it possible to innovate in a large corporation?
  6. Are there lessons to be learned from corporate-fostered entrepreneurship for true startups?
  7. What exactly is it that turns you from a human into a human resource?
  8. Do the strategies for corporate entrepreneurship apply globally or only in places like Silicon Valley?
  9. What are some examples of corporations stifling a situation ripe for individual entrepreneurship?
  10. Is the future of the corporation more akin to medieval trade guilds than today's unified organizations?

John, 'you are the man' for coming up with this cool panel idea. But of course I mean that in the sense of you as cool, and not in the sense of you actually being 'The Man.' Calling Jean-Paul Sartre, I need a bail out here.
