The Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, or IIE, was set up at the Singapore Management University (SMU) in September 2009 to create and grow an entrepreneurial culture amongst students, staff and faculty through collaborations within and beyond the community. The Institute has various functions that help innovators commercialise their business ideas. Innovation & Entrepreneurship has been identified as an Area of Excellence of SMU where multidisciplinary research, teaching & knowledge transfer, and outreach & collaboration are integrated to solve real-world challenges. The SMU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Area of Excellence focuses on building an array of programmes and expertise that support business and market development to complement R&D investments. In this podcast, Professor Desai Arcot Narasimhalu, who is the Professor of Information Systems and Director of SMU’s Institute of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, shares his insights on the subject.
