Who Makes Money from Entrepreneurship?

Researchers from the Centre for Enterprise and the University of Liverpool have recently published research that shows how entrepreneur earnings are affected by their backgrounds and household roles. We’d love to hear what you think! What is your own experience? How does your experience relate to the research findings? And what should Governments, banks etc do to promote wealth-creating opportunities?

Welcome

Welcome to Manchester Metropolitan University's Centre for Enterprise blog!

Who are we?
The Centre has been a functioning asset to the MMU community since March 2001. In this time period, we have attracted in excess of £10m revenue to support the development of entrepreneurs and their businesses.

So, what exactly do we do? Well, we like to think of ourselves as leaders in the creation and transfer of knowledge for the purposes of developing enterprise and entrepreneurship capability.

In laymen's, we bring together business owners, policy-makers and academics who are interested in improving the environment for entrepreneurship and the competiveness of individuals and firms. In order to do this, we work with students, small businesses, academics, entrepreneurs and other like-minded professionals to execute a veritable repertoire of programmes, activities and events to stimulate and encourage entrepreneurship and enterprise.

Why blog?
The purpose of this blog is to highlight some of the exciting things we achieve and are involved with and to explore, via the avenue of various blog projects, different ideas about key aspects of what we do. Our first blog projet, On Leadership, is a perfect example of this. For this project, we invited academics, entrepreneurs and business owners to discuss anything they wanted in relation to leadership. We all learned alot and raised some interesting questions and healthy debates about what makes a good leader.

In our next project, On Growth, we will receive feedback from similar people about growth and endeavour to really look at what growth means in terms of enterprise and entrepreneurship. We invite you to subscribe to our blog activity by typing your email address in that nifty little box up there on the right, and come along with us as we discover what growth is and how it affects us.

As always, if you would like to contribute to the blog, please contact me, Anyonita, directly at a.khatun[at]mmu.ac.uk for guidelines and more information.
