Prof's POV on international entrepreneurialism
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 13 September 2011 ) There's a host of entrepreneurial type courses available around most of New Zealand's universities these days, and Victoria University Wellington's also in the game.
VUW's relatively new Professor of International Entrepeneurship, David Crick, recently gave an inaugural address at the universities historic Hunter Chamber.
The Englishman has based most of his academic career on examining the characteristics of entrepreneurial success, and though one of the outcomes was to spruik the varsity's course, the audience gained some insights from 'Seizing Opportunities: Lessons from International Entrepreneurs'.
