• 07.10pm      Master Class: “Entrepreneurship: Embracing Uncertainty” by Paul KEWENE-HITE, Affiliate Professor of Entrepreneurship, INSEAD
  Synopsis: The spectrum of industries, and companies of all sizes, routinely grapple with uncertainty. In business we plan, model, meet, agree or disagree, take action or not, and rise or fall by the integrity or failure of markets, economies, technologies, agreements, relationships, and more. Is it possible to remove uncertainty and KNOW what is the right course of action in business? Is the quest for certainty productive? What are you looking for before you decide to take action and do ‘it’ (whatever ‘it’ is)? During this master class, from the perspective of a professional entrepreneur, we will explore the role of certainty/uncertainty in good business.
