"A wave of disruption looms for the country’s flagship industries — cars and machines — from Silicon Valley innovation" https://www.ft.com/content/31469796-dcd1-11e6-9d7c-be108f1c1dce  “For many years, our schools and universities prepared our professionals to work for someone else,” said Crespo during an interview in the capital, San Juan. “So we didn’t develop a full ecosystem, we didn’t create a culture in which students from the universities thought, you know, gee, how can I become an entrepreneur?” http://social.techcrunch.com/2017/01/15/puerto-rico-turns-to-tech-and-entrepreneurialism-to-revitalize-the-economy/  “When I did my MBA 12 years ago, studying entrepreneurship would have been seen like studying pottery or basket-weaving. Today, it is [more like] accounting and marketing,” said Joe Haslam from IE Business School in Madrid. http://on.ft.com/2jp48bk  "As we know from the Tupperware experience, we can create huge opportunities by offering basic things like microfinance, training, and coaching. Currently, around 80% of all new businesses in the U.S. fail within the first five years. However, we can sharply boost this rate of success if we give people proven templates that help them build their own business. At Tupperware, with our sales force of more than 3 million people, we often see the power of this approach, especially for women living in emerging economies. Mandated “job creation” will not abolish poverty, but simply trap people in dead-end roles. Instead, we need to give people the tools and skills they need to strike out on their own." - Rick Goings is chairman and CEO of Tupperware Brands Corporation. http://fortune.com/2017/01/30/job-creation-gig-economy/?xid=entrepreneur  The financial times just reported on the growth of markets in developing countries and the speed of the growth is mind-blowing.
