The High-Intensity Entrepreneur
Friday, October 29, 2010

Article titled “The High-Intensity Entrepreneur” by Anne S. Habiby and Deirdre M. Coyle, Jr. has appeared in Harvard Business Review and is creating waves in academic and industrial circles. The article presents the case of entrepreneurship in the developing world and the important role it is playing in moving the sluggish economies of the countries forward. The inspirational stories on entrepreneurship are not only coming from Silicon Valley, Cambridge Research Parks and other traditional seats where knowledge is being generated, but also coming from Beirut, Saudi Arabia and yes from Pakistan too. The article motions Pakistan’s Air Blue success story.

There are so many other successful entrepreneurship examples in Pakistan. We only have to look around. In these times of dooms and gloom, our economists and writers can identify the best growth companies and given them a little visibility. That will help education and industry in Pakistan. And we will have something to look forward to.

I suggest you read The High-Intensity Entrepreneur (subscription required) and see what is the central idea and how we can use it in our own settings.
