How Disruptive Entrepreneurship is Driving Corporate Renovation + Reinvention
Sponsored by Tech Mahindra, the BPI Network is undertaking a brand new study focused on how disruptive entrepreneurship is driving corporate renovation and reinvention.
The formation of new venture starts is multiplying at an incredible rate worldwide aided by new sources of funding, a growing number of incubators and accelerators, as well as lower cost of business formation using outsourced infrastructures, off-shore development teams, and on-demand resources and mentoring.
Many richly funded emerging growth companies have become disruptive forces in traditional markets, like insurance, hospitality, travel, healthcare, education, transportation, retailing, marketing, sales, advertising, payments, communications, entertainment, and investing. Their shared economy business models and new digital channels of engagement and market access are producing rapid growth, astounding valuations and stratospheric multiples when they go public.
At the end of last year, the world had nearly 140,000 startup businesses, of which more than half were based outside America, according to World Startup Report. McKinsey Institute Research predicts that by 2025 more than 45 percent of the Fortune Global 500 will be based in dynamic, emerging markets compared to 17% in 2000. In 2025, it estimates 15,000 companies will have $1B-plus in annual revenues compared to 8,000 in 2010; and 40 percent of new large companies will be located in the emerging world.
To what degree is this massive wealth creation and new crop of brand challengers and category contenders spurring greater invention and business remodeling in enterprise incumbents seeking to compete with agile and intrusive market entrants? What are the big corporates learning, emulating, acquiring and adapting? How are they restructuring, renovating, re-directing and investing in new talent, technology and alternative business models?
“Start-Up Innovation: Inspiring Business Transformation” is a study that seeks to understand the degree to which disruptive entrepreneurship is driving corporate renovation and reinvention. The thought leadership initiative teams the Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network with Tech Mahindra, a software company that specializes in digital transformation, consulting and business re-engineering solutions, and with TiE, a non-profit global entrepreneurs network of 14,000 participants across 61 chapters in 17 countries.
The findings of this study will be exhibited at TiEcon-- the largest conference on entrepreneurship held annually in Silicon Valley with more than 4,000 attendees (May 15 and 16, 2015).
