Go Global - ISB Mantra for Indian SMEs

An interesting point of view from Jerry George, LBS professor and visiting faculty at ISB, who was at the SME program organized by ISB for SME business to help them go global.

Thinking BIG is a pre-requisite for high potential enterprises and I resonate with Jerry that Indian entrepreneurs do suffer from small thinking syndrome. Even after thinking hard, I do not recall a single encounter with an entrepreneur in India who tells me that he is working on a "Billion Dollar" idea.

Helping SMEs to think global is a welcome step, well done ISB!
