What status is art at this time? Is it being held in high regard throughout the country? Is it as important as it should be? Art entrepreneurship is a lucrative business proposition for the artist and the business person. But, where do you take it? Where can it go? The wave of the future is in art workshop centers and you can take it virtually anywhere.

When times get tough throughout the world, people are in distress over wars, hurricanes, destruction and chaos. What do they turn to for their relief? Art is always the answer. Whether an artist composes a song, writes a book or paints a painting, artistic expression is the balm that soothes all ailments. As an entrepreneur, you can care and you can show that you care. An art workshop center is exactly what your community needs.

The art workshop itself is a great way to get people together. They can have a place to express themselves and their concerns. If you have never thought of art as therapeutic, you have missed the point. Art can be an escape from the world around us. It can be the medium by which we resolve issues. It can be the rest and relaxation we need in our otherwise stressful lives. And people have a chance to connect to other people on the same page at an art workshop.

The art workshop center is the place they can go. Of course, they can do their art at home and most likely will. But, they also have a place where they can come and have a cup of coffee, look around at what others are doing and get some inspiration. Inspiration sparks hope in hard times and your art workshop center should be full of inspiration. Your art work, your artist’s artwork, your students’ artworks and artwork of great artists throughout history all should adorn the walls as a way of helping artists to focus, get inspired and launch into their own self-exploration.

This is your pitch. It may sound harsh. But, it’s true. We’ve already explored pitching art to parents because schools are failing them miserably. “The Great Art Pitch: Educate the Parents on the Benefits of Art” discussed giving parents the solution to the failing situation of the schools. But, as well know you don’t have to pitch your art workshop center just one way.

You can also put out the idea that your art workshop is better than therapy. It is better than anti-depressants. Activity keeps people hopeful. Give someone something to do that is both creative and fun. You have just made their life much better in so many ways you can’t even imagine them all.

Get your art out into the community and you will not only gain exposure for art, you will gain exposure for your art workshop center. Auctions are a great way to get people together to bid on the artwork that your students have produced. Imagine telling your students that they may make some money from their art. Now, go back to the chalkboard and figure out how many more students you will soon have.

While auctions gain exposure, open houses will as well. Having an art display at your workshop center should be an ongoing project that you maintain as well as promote from time to time. Bring people in to see the art and let them experience how therapeutic it was for your students as they deal with the many issues facing our world, our nation, our community and even ourselves.

The pitch can go on and on and your art workshop can be worked into just about any situation you have the imagination to explore. Art is the answer for many people. Art can be the answer for everyone. You are the entrepreneur and you have to bring people to understand this concept. It’s not enough to say you have an art workshop center. You have to make it come alive!

Haiyan Huang Xiaohua currently a major agricultural product processing enterprises. He said that work here, are not only financial rewards, there are all kinds of experience, once more venture capital, he will once again embark on his own.

Copy business model to others 3 years ago, Huang Xiaohua in sea salt and opened a seafood-based operating Hotel , Signature dish is the crab. “I have students in Hangzhou to open this type of hotel, business is good, after I went to learn, they write them in the sea salt has also opened a, from the decision to officially open up shop just 3 months time.” Huang Xiaohua memories. Run this hotel, fro a total investment of 20 million, money his parents funded.

The beginning, the hotel business was very good, every month more than 10,000 yuan of profits. But did not last long, Hangzhou mode sea salt is not moved to Emmanuel, six months later, the hotel has seen a decline, until the closure closed.

Huang Xiaohua said that facts have proven that business can not copy the successful model must be done enough homework early. Hangzhou students were open to see well, they thought that open sea salt also can make it, not done sufficient market research, resulting in poor hotel location. He said the atmosphere around the restaurant is very important to do, had no choice dining atmosphere good location, this is a business fail. What should be the best most expensive

Huang Xiaohua, and most of the graduates had just stepped into the society, like the beginning and has great vision.

Huang Xiaohua by the high standards the hotel Decoration Specifically requested a design firm in Jiaxing, renovation costs alone spent more than 100,000 yuan. Rental store nearly 70,000 yuan a year, he once signed for 3 years. To Zhoushan seafood procurement, spend high pick high-end, please also hand reared water allocation. In order to win high-quality low-cost, Huang Xiaohua the dishes than the price set low, this way, the costs are high, profit margin is small, a certain extent, affected the hotel’s “sustainable development.”

“I thought then that the hotel should open into the county unique decoration to the best of raw materials to the best, really Costly.” Huang Xiaohua said, “No pinpoint the right location, suffered a major loss. If your hotel decoration, at least you can save 34 million. Also, I do not know enough to consumers, the concept of consumption of each place is different, compared with Hangzhou, sea salt consumers do not ask the hotel environment, but more emphasis on taste and quality cuisine. ” Lack of sufficient entrepreneurial experience

Huang Xiaohua of the specialties is environmental management project. He said the choice had run the hotel business, did not take into account their familiarity with this area, his side did not have a master, only to see the students open well, Haiyan City, and no one specialized in seafood in hotels, on the single-minded bar into it.

Later, Huang Xiaohua business on their own for the first time a summary and reflection. He said that we students have advantage of business, also has its limitations, the school’s learning so that we have a certain expertise, but not into the society, in business sense, and so is the lack of social experience, so students the choice of direction in the business should exceed and start from their own familiar territory. “I’m engaged in agro-processing work, if you choose entrepreneurship in this field, should be handy number.” He said with a smile.

Business needs passion, but not the lack of entrepreneurial feasibility of calm, comprehensive assessment. Huang Xiaohua students start to see the success of Hangzhou, the copy mode, on the sea salt food and beverage market is not doing the investigation, only to idealized inference, the results with the actual picture. Students must identify themselves before business can do, how to make money, do not be too ambitious.

Ethical Issues in Business: A Philosophical Approach

Entrepreneurship is a global phenomenon and to prove it 11 Olin Business School students traveled to Hungary in May to work with start-up companies in Budapest.

The trip is an integral part of Clifford Holekamp’s course, “Danube Venture Consulting Program” which was offered for the second time this year. Holekamp is a senior lecturer in entrepreneurship at Olin and initiated the consulting project with a private equity firm in Hungary.

Class members are undergraduate and graduate business school students who work in teams with start-up ventures on specific projects. “The clients include a reality T.V. production company, an off-road GPS software provider, and a Hungarian social networking website,” says Holekamp. “While the projects and clients are all quite different, there are some interesting overlaps related to interactive and mobile media strategies.”

Ryan Spies, MBA ’11, worked on the GPS product team in Hungary, “I really benefited from learning how cultural attitudes affect the business in developing countries. Just 20 years ago this country was exposed to market capitalism. What an extreme change from the socialist economy they had been under for the previous 30-plus years!”

Spies says he welcomed the opportunity to experience a country through the eyes of business professionals who live and work there. “One factor I found particularly surprising, but it makes absolute sense, is that there is virtually no inherited wealth in Hungary. It’s as if the entire country started off at 0 in 1990. This has profound implications when you’re talking about a private equity business. You’re just not going to see the massive amounts of money that you see in the States or Western Europe.”

Ben Erdel, MBA’11, consulted with a start-up social networking website. “The most interesting take-away to me was the geographic and cultural limitation many foreign businesses face,” Erdel says. “Hungary is roughly the size of Missouri with a language entirely different from any other. In the United States, businesses can easily focus on global markets, but I realized that many foreign companies are much more limited in their scalability.”

While the experience of Hungary and working with a reality T.V. production company was new for Nicole Lindenbaum, MBA ’11, she found that basic business principles are similar wherever you are. “You still go about solving a problem the same way, using tools and methods that are applicable in the U.S., the process is the same. So while it’s certainly essential to be aware of and sensitive to cultural differences in a project like this, the business training I’ve received at Olin has well prepared me for any situation.”

The students will continue to work with the companies via the internet now they are back in the U.S. and will complete their project reports later in the summer.

Holekamp says, “The students represented Washington University admirably. I was very impressed with their focus and enthusiasm for their projects.”

For Alex Neuman who is working on a double major in engineering and entrepreneurship, the trip was more than a project or course capstone, “It confirmed my suspicion that I would like international work to be a large part of my career going forward.”

Like many of his fellow students, Neuman says his experience working with start-ups in Hungary proved that the language of business is truly global.

“It reaffirmed my belief that “the world is flat” when it comes to global business,” says Neuman, “and that barriers to business continue to be broken down as we progress into the digital age.”
