A Global Hub for Entrepreneurial Leaders Moving Ideas to Impact in the Developing World LEGATUM CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENT & ENTREPRENEURSHIP 2018 2019* A global hub for entrepreneurial leaders moving ideas to impact in the developing world * Academic Year, Fall ’18–Spring ’19 LEGATUM CENTER | 1 The Legatum Center was founded on the belief that entrepreneurs and their market-driven solutions are critical to advancing socioeconomic progress in the developing world. While global prosperity has increased in recent decades, the progress is uneven, and the worst deprivations are still concentrated in specific parts of the globe. We drive inclusive prosperity by empowering the next generation of change agents who, through principled entrepreneurial leadership, will create good jobs, improve lives, and build a better world. The Center is a global community based at MIT, drawing on the Institute’s talent, networks, presence, and expertise to inspire and equip those who want to move their ideas toward scalable impact. We build inclusive pathways within MIT and also between MIT and growth market ecosystems. We support MIT students at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey through our rich portfolio of programs, the capstone of which is a competi- tive Fellowship reserved for students dedicated to building and scaling their ventures post-graduation. The Center also provides channels for entrepreneurs across the world to access MIT resources and enrich our ecosystem. Finally, we distill what we learn from these networks to advance research and thought leadership that impacts entrepreneurial leaders and stakeholders.

Fiona Murray Dina H. Sherif Faculty Director, Legatum Center Executive Director (Sept. 2019) Legatum Center Associate Dean of Innovation & William Porter Professor Senior Lecturer, MIT Sloan of Entrepreneurship, MIT Sloan LEGATUM CENTER | 3 MOVING IDEAS TO IMPACT PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The Legatum Center’s principles of operation, which build upon the principles of the broader MIT entrepreneurship community, guide every idea, action, and decision we make. IMPROVING LIVES Our Center’s mission is to improve lives by cultivating (and learning from) principled innovation-driven entrepreneurs in the developing world. We empower our entrepreneurs to create and scale businesses that will have significant social impact through their technology or service while also ensuring they develop a sustainable business model that will lead to the creation of good jobs and ethical management practices. MIT STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE AND RIGOR We work with MIT faculty and part- ners to incorporate the MIT standard of excellence and rigor into everything we do. We enroll students with integrity, strong leadership potential, high aspirations, and exceptional intellectual ability. We deliver the highest quality entrepreneurship-for-development educa- tion, advising, and practical experiences. COLLABORATION We do our utmost to catalyze action in, and contribute to, the In- stitute’s distinctive intellectual excellence and entrepreneurial culture. This means working closely with other departments, labs, centers, groups, alumni, and partners to connect stu- dents with the best entrepreneurship-for-development curriculum, programming, and exper- tise across MIT. DIVERSITY Entrepreneurship for development requires diversity of opinion, ideas, and peo- ple. As such, our team, fellowship cohort, and program offerings combine a range of critical perspectives, including those from on-the-ground entrepreneurs in the developing world. We educate our community to recognize micro-biases and strive to ensure diversity and high eth- ical standards in all that we do. EXPERIMENTATION, EVALUATION & ITERATION We foster an adventurous learning community. Each year, we try new activities and partnerships that could enhance our stu- dents’ educational experience. If we fail, we learn in the process. When we succeed, we scale rapidly. To ensure we are meeting the needs of our students, we take a rigorous approach to program evaluation, iterating and refining our approach as needed. HONEST BROKER The interests of our student entrepreneurs are paramount and their long-term success is our foremost goal. As such, no one in an advising, educational, or sup- port role at the Center will take a part of a student company nor look for a place on their board. Our only goal is the student’s long-term success. We aim for our students to have a clear understanding of their investment and partnership options before they make a decision on whether to exchange a part of their business for additional funding. MENS ET MANUS True to the motto of MIT, in all our program offerings we operate on a hybrid model that fuses academic and practitioner perspectives.

  • NBK Capital Partners and the Role of Private Capital in Emerging Markets 2020
    2020 Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship at MIT NBK Capital Partners and the Role of Private Capital in Emerging Markets CASE STUDY DECEMBER 2020 REGIE MAURICIO DINA H. SHERIF SECTION I: NEW IDEAS FOR A CHALLENGING MARKET Yaser Moustafa joined National Bank of Kuwait Capital Partners (NBKCP) as Senior Managing Director at a turning point in April 2015. His primary goals were to diversify the alternative investments company’s LP base and grow multi-fund platform investment strategies. However, Yaser quickly realized that more time and effort was required to ensure that the portfolio companies created value that would bring back solid returns for the fund. The macroeconomic environment at the time was unforgiving. The 2011 revolutions in the area scared off many foreign investors, and in the year that Yaser assumed this role, the price of oil dropped by 70%. Portfolio companies needed to weather challenging circumstances but often lacked the institutional resilience. One such firm was Yatsan, a mattress and sleep product manufacturer in Turkey. The platform had only recently acquired a majority in the company in 2014. It had previously held a minority share in the company and realized that it could not affect the kind of changes needed for the business to grow. Yatsan was a family business and faced many endemic challenges including irregular financial bookkeeping and inconsistent compliance efforts. All 800 of the company's employees reported directly to the owners who managed by personal relationships. The salary scale was not uniform, the pay schedule unpredictable, the health and safety standards inadequate, and no union in operation.

Understanding the Ecosystems of Chinese and American Entrepreneurship Education. In Management Faculty Publications. Paper 42. Available at: http://vc.bridgew.edu/management_fac/42 This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Journal of Entrepreneurship Education Volume 21, Issue 2, 2018 UNDERSTANDING THE ECOSYSTEMS OF CHINESE AND AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION Chien Wen Yu, Bridgewater State University ABSTRACT Since the 1980s, entrepreneurship education in the United States has become increasingly popular. The system of entrepreneurship education in the United States is characterized by relatively scientific and systemic teaching and research. The concept of ecosystems, which comes from the natural sciences, is increasingly applied to regional development and focused on inter-organizational relationships. One way to assess the ecosystems of entrepreneurship education is to consider all components of the whole–the business model, teaching philosophy, curriculum, teaching content, teacher training, infrastructure, culture, network and practices of each country. A useful tool for understanding these interrelationships is the Triple Helix Model (university-government-industry). This approach is applied in here this research to compare and analyse the ecosystems of entrepreneurship education in the United States and China, the top two economic and entrepreneurial powers in the world.
