This second episode looks at business information risks and responsibilities: the threats that arise from different types of information and how companies can prevent or handle them. A potential threat companies face arises from accounting information if this information is mis-represented, as has been the case in numerous accounting fraud cases such as the recent scandals around the German payment processor Wirecard, or the UK bakery chain Patisserie Valerie. Potential threats also arise from disinformation and, in particular, disinformation campaigns that target companies’ reputation or market position. Episode presented by Dr Sarah Kroechert, Assistant Professor in Accounting at Cambridge Judge Business School. With guest speaker Alan Jagolinzer, Professor of Financial Accounting at Cambridge Judge Business School, and Cambridge MBA students Kristen Chang, Eli Auerbach, Zach Marks and Calvin Liew.

This episode looks at environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting: issues that matter to business operations, and how companies report about them. Of interest are not just issues that affect how companies operate, but also issues that arise, in part, because of companies’ operations. One of those issues was highlighted by the COP27 summit that took place in Egypt while the episode was being recorded: business operations worldwide contribute significantly to the still too-high level of greenhouse gas emissions and thus to climate change. Episode presented by Dr Sarah Kroechert, Assistant Professor in Accounting at Cambridge Judge Business School. With guest speaker Ethan Rouen, Assistant Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, and Cambridge MBA students Mario Parussini, Matilde Luce, Paul Zahary and Priya Saikumar.

Enterprise Tuesday: Creating a star team - serendipity or design? With guest speaker Adam Balon, Co-Founder of Innocent Drinks and JamJar Investments Chaired by Michael Hayman MBE, Co-Founder of Seven Hills and Startup Britain What are the components of an effective team? How do they influence the growth and impact of a business? How does the founder’s role evolve as the company and the team develops? One of the most frequently cited reasons for the success or failure of a venture is whether the team is effectively formed and developed. Multiple factors such as the composition, experience, expertise, chemistry, soft skills, shared purpose and values of team members can make a difference. Michael Hayman MBE, Co-Founder of Seven Hills and Startup Britain, will be talking to our guest entrepreneur speaker Adam Balon, Co-Founder of Innocent Drinks and alumnus of St John’s College, Cambridge, about the formation, shared vision and development of good entrepreneurial teams and how they build businesses.

With guest speaker Ian Rand, Cambridge Judge Advisory Board, and CEO of Business Banking, Barclays Regardless of whether a business is seeking to make it past the startup phase, satisfy a major increase in demand for its products and services, or strengthen its competitive position, growth is a vital step in the development of a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME). Many CEOs and founders never take the time to sit down and think about how to take the company to the next level in a smart, disciplined way. Creating a road map to guide the company through the growth phase helps reduce risk and avoid some of the common mistakes. An important consideration in this process is how to propose well-designed financing structures which support the company through the growth cycle. In this Enterprise Tuesday session, we discuss the common challenges faced by businesses and what growth strategies can be employed to overcome them.

Mads Faurholt founder of Nova Founders Capital tells the Cambridge Judge Entrepreneurship Centre podcast series how he became a serial entrepreneur and investor, now owning 10 companies and investing in 20 others, some now worth billions of pounds, through a concept he terms “creationism” which involves both innovation and destruction. The sectors he works in straddle financial services, professional services, education and conference networking, food and Beveridge and real estate. Now he’s setting up a student founders arm too to help build companies with students who are at University. He proclaims that he dislikes a nine to five routine, “loves” the people he works with and regards himself as a “recruiter” rather than an investor. “Paranoia” he says helps him to be successful and he always compares himself unfavorably with other business leaders. Mads top tip: “I am saying go for it, but go for it with the right business model and that’s really important. A lot of investors will say it’s all about the team. I think it’s really important to have the right team but it’s really important to have the right business model. When you start a business you are most likely to commit to that business for ten years. It’s said that it takes ten years to build an overnight success. The minute you hire people and raise capital you are stuck. You can’t do anything else. You have to make sure you select the right business model. That’s my message to everyone I meet. You can build disruption into that.” Find out more about the Entrepreneurship Centre > https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/entrepreneurship/

Kate Bell founder of Zip Us In has moved her business from being a successful home grown cottage industry to one that exports across Europe today and which is sold in outlets throughout the high street. Kate literally did start up her business on her kitchen table enlisting the support of her mother and her neighbours to manufacture an expandable jacket that allows pregnant women and young Mums to keep themselves and their young ones warm inside. The idea grew from one she had when she was a young Mum herself pregnant for a second time and unable to fit her baby bump inside her own jacket. Having a marketing background gave her the confidence to develop the concept, and without needing a business plan or a bank loan, she and her Mum and friends made the jackets to order, the brand name soon spread by word of mouth from Mum to Mum. It wasn’t until she won a Boots Mumpreneurs award that she was able to scale up her business and redesign the business model and her company. She became a Barclays Entrepreneur award winner for the South and from there found herself on a course at the Cambridge Judge Entrepreneurship Centre which she says has been “phenomenal”. She outsources much of the work today and runs a small team but she still answers all the queries on Amazon herself which she says keeps her “in touch” with the Brand. Now Kate has ambitions to grow her company globally, there are, she says ”mums everywhere” and to think more about social responsibility. Kate key quote: “Very, very, helpful. I was very lucky to be given the Barclays Entrepreneur of the year award for the South last year. They introduced me to the programme at Cambridge Judge Business School. At first I was reluctant about taking the course as it meant full days outside of the business. That was a huge choice for me to make. I wondered if there was more to learn. That was very naïve. The course has been phenominal in terms of the connections I have made, the people I have met, and the information I have learnt. I really didn’t know how much more I had to learn until I picked up that information. I feel that the business has better direction, it is a more strategic approach to growth over the coming years. I felt a little bit like I was winging it, and that the business was growing without my control. The demand had created the business growth. I now feel that I am back in control of that and that the decisions I’m making are the right decisions because they have been analysed and they are strategic.” Find out more about the Entrepreneurship Centre > https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/entrepreneurship/ Find out more about Barclays Scale-Up programme > https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/execed/barclays/barclays-scale-up-uk-programme/ Find out more about the SME Growth Challenge > https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/entrepreneurship/programmes/sme-growth/
