SUMMARY:Italy Trek Info Session
DESCRIPTION:During spring break 2026 (March 28– April 4)\, the Smith Family Business Initiative will be leading a student trek to Italy to explore numerous significant family businesses\, Italian history\, and culture. \nJoin them on November 18th for an informational meeting to learn more. This trek is open to ALL Cornell University graduate and PhD students. \nWhy Family Business?\nFamily-owned businesses dominate the economic landscape in the United States\, are critically important drivers of the economy and\, by most estimates\, make up 70-90% of all businesses globally. These organizations span the economic spectrum from start-up to the largest and often oldest businesses in the world. Given the statistics\, regardless of your background or career trajectory\, it’s not a question of if you will work with a family enterprise but when and in what capacity. Educating our students about the unique advantages and challenges faced by family firms provides a fundamental knowledge base and is one of the many distinctive ways Cornell prepares graduates for successful futures. \nWhy Italy?\nIn Italy there are estimated to be around 784\,000 family businesses – more than 85% of the total number of businesses – constituting around 70% of all employment. Italian family businesses are also set apart by their longevity: of the world’s 100 oldest businesses\, 15 are Italian and\, of these\, 5 – Fonderie Pontificie Marinelli (founded in 1000)\, Barone Ricasoli (1141)\, Barovier & Toso (1295)\, Torrini (1369) and Marchesi Antinori (1385) – are among the top ten oldest family businesses still active today.

SUMMARY:Evidence-Based Entrepreneurship: A Mindset for Startup Success
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret that most startups fail. Many assume that this is because they were unable to successfully create the product or service that they had in mind. In reality\, however\, the data shows that most startups actually succeed in creating their product. The problem is that the product they created was something nobody really wanted. \n\nOften this is down to a misguided focus on hawking a solution without first truly understanding the problem. Although there are no guarantees in the startup world\, applying evidence-based entrepreneurship principles can greatly increase your chances of creating a product or solution that truly addresses a customer need. \nIn this webinar\, you will: \n\nLearn how the right entrepreneurial mindset can increase your startup’s chances for success\nDiscuss the reasons most startups fail and how to learn from the most common mistakes\nUnderstand the importance of leveraging customer insights by asking the right type of questions\nLearn how to focus on the customer problem or need rather than your imagined solution\nHear real-life examples of how startups and inventors have used the entrepreneurial process to successfully identify their business opportunity\n\nSpeakers:\nKen Rother – Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management\nTom Schryver – Cornell Center for Regional Economic Advancement \nRegister here
