Entrepreneurship Meet Sat. 5/4 @ Bookworm

[Aaron T]

For anyone interested in entrepreneurship and business in China; I’m planning on having a round table discussion on “Disruptive Innovation” at 5pm on Saturday May 4th @ The Book Worm.

We had a thought provoking discussion on Bitcoin a couple weeks ago and I’m hoping we can use a similar format for this. This will be very informal, we’ll be sitting around and having a chat with each person contributing their thoughts and perspecitve.

All are welcome!

Please register your interest on this thread

Cool, I’m down to join. The bitcoin discussion last time was great.

‘Disruptive Innovation’… Also known as ‘anything innovative whatsoever’.

Can you give more scope as to the direction of this discussion Aaron? I’d be interested if I know it will have some tangible themes.

[Aaron T]

Hi Brendan,

I’m hoping we can take a look at disruptive innovation from an entrepreneurial perspective; i.e. new business models / technological changes that challenge successful business. While the topic is broad; the intent is to direct our discussion toward future business opportunities and ideas.

[Mike]

I’m definitely interested but don’t know yet if I will be ablte to make it…

[Aaron T]

Here are a couple videos worth watching to get a better idea of what “Disruptive Innovation” is and how it applies to the marketplace.

How to Spot Disruptive Innovation Opportunities

TEDxBigApple – Vijay Govindarajan – Reverse Innovation (wait for the link to disruptive innovation at the end)

[Antawn Zhou]

Hello Aaron, im a local, can i come too?

[Xmo]

@Antawn, I think so, as it says all are welcome in the post itself. Anyhow, I’m in for real. 😀

[Michael M]

Sounds good, I’m in.

[Aaron T]

@ Antawn – As Xmo said above this is an open meeting and all are welcome! I hope to meet you on Saturday afternoon.

[Larry]

I’m in too.

[Charlie]

For those interested in joining, where shall we look for this? Picnic tables outside as with the Bitcoin meeting, or in the large room inside?

[Aaron T]

I’m hoping the weather will be nice and we can sit outside on the picnic tables; if not we’ll find a place somewhere in the large room inside.

Just look for the large brick of red Mao’s and you’ll know your in the right place (joking)

[Vic]

I’m in, Aaron. See you later today.

We lost a iPad with lightblue cover in bookworm at 4th May night. Has anyone seen it?

If someone know, please call Yang Nie 13701661433. One special gift and my warm thanks.
