Entrepreneurship,
defined as the ability to marshal resources in order to seize new business opportunities,
which have uncertain outcomes, has gained renewed importance. It has become central
to economic growth in light of the rapid advancement of information technology
and growing importance of knowledge.
The new
economy now calls for innovative ideas, new initiatives, rather than
organizational discipline, adjustability and greater speed in taking decisions,
which I must say is what entrepreneurship is all about. Entrepreneurship can
also be exploited inside and outside companies; don’t you wanna take advantage
form it? If yes, why don’t you hire an entrepreneur?

A small
publishing company located near Barcelona. Labreu edicions (short publishing) was
born from three partners who looked for a new way to publish cheap short books
in Catalan. In its beginnings, my work was based on reporting our company,
getting high levels of response from press and TV for free through publicity.
Labreu is still doing business.
Urbanitesbcn

Urbanitesbcn
was a social network based on offering its members low price activities (as a
social club to give them opportunities to meet new people). All the activities
were based on Barcelona and its surroundings, bringing us a chance to become
experts in developing events and routes in the Catalan capital. This company
was sold in 2004 with the whole list and the programme of activities.
