Track the MoneyWhat drives the local economy? How does it fit into the national economic picture - and the international? Where are the innovations coming from? What could help us, what could hinder us, what could hurt us?

Our focus on this day is firstly to understand the character of London’s economy and its strengths and weaknesses, thereby broadening and deepening our sense of place. Secondly, to make use of the market-place as an environment in which to engage with a variety of leadership challenges related to this sector – risk, competition, innovation, reward and creativity.

The objectives of this day are:

to understand what helps and hinders the development of a successful local economy

to explore the challenges facing the wealth creators in this area

to identify learning that you can apply back in your work-place relating to risk, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurialism

Every society has some form of enterprise culture in which products are created and sold with some form of additional value generated through the transaction between seller and buyer – most commonly expressed in monetary terms. From the simple exchanges within a subsistence culture to the complexity of the knowledge economies in our digital age, trade and commerce underpin all aspects of a society’s character.

The nature of commercial transaction – from barter to capitalism – creates a unique environment in which risk, enterprise, aspiration, creativity, motivation, reward, innovation and competition can have expression. However, this same system can also produce failure, poor-performance, corruption and unsustainable practices seem also to emerge. This environment is best described as “the market”.

As the complexity, sophistication and strength of the market increases, there are on-going debates about appropriate levels of regulation and intervention and about the nature of the relationship between the market and the society within which it operates.

Capitalism Works, Geoffrey Owen, Prospect December 2003

In this article Geoffrey Owen, senior fellow at the LSE's Institute of Management and a former editor of the Financial Times, argues authoritatively that America's shareholder-driven business model has curbed its excesses and remains the most effective system of wealth creation.

He argues that the “American Business Model” has suffered since the stock market crash and corporate scandals such as Enron, and observes that consequently it “is widely condemned as both immoral and inefficient”. Some have concluded that the shareholder based model “is flawed and managers should be answerable to a wider set of stakeholders, including employees”. Owen believes, however, that the scandals, while shaming, “have not negated (its) enormous strengths” and that the race to introduce changes to the system, especially in changing the focus from shareholder value, responding to what investors want you to do, and responding to workforce and community needs, is misguided.

”During this quarter of a century the system has undergone big changes, the most important of which are a larger role for the stock market in disciplining companies and a stronger emphasis by managers on shareholder value. These changes have enhanced the position of the US as the world's most productive country. Neither Enron nor the bursting of the stock market bubble has undermined American leadership.”

The shareholder value revolution, linked to innovation in financial markets, has made US industry more flexible and productive. To the extent that Britain moved in a US direction during this period - and it did so to a much greater extent than other European countries - the results were also beneficial. Unwieldy conglomerates were broken up, and companies were quicker to close loss-making businesses. Deregulation allowed new entrants to prosper, Vodafone being a spectacular example. And an expanding venture capital industry supported many business start-ups in new areas such as biotechnology.”

He argues that the purpose of corporations is to create wealth by profitability, and that should be their main focus – “its ability to provide goods and services at a price which more than covers the costs it has incurred. If the corporation achieves this in a competitive market, there is a reasonable presumption that it is using its resources efficiently, and thus contributing to social welfare. “

Shareholders invest in a company on the basis of its current and future profitability, reflecting in share prices. Dangers arise when the share price gets out of line with reality – “an overvalued share price can be as dangerous to a company as an undervalued one”.

Owen espouses the view that managers need to look to long term profitability, acknowledge that businesses may have to shrink, sell off unprofitable areas, and respond to changes in the market, such as sector demand by getting smaller if necessary and return the cash to the

shareholders, and thus “ keep the interests of shareholders and by extension those of society as a whole. “

Owen suggests that if companies concentrate on shareholder value rather then short term and personal management gain it could form part of the solution. And, he suggests that if the UK embraced this strategy then we would be on the way to closing the productivity gap between the USA and the UK.

Globalisation and the UK Economy

http://www.tutor2u.net/economics/content/topics/trade/globalisation_ukeconomy.htm

The UK has one of the most open economies in the western world. Twenty years ago, foreign exchange controls were abolished and our financial markets have been gradually deregulated. Trade with other countries assumed a high and rising percentage of total national output. Clearly, the globalisation process impacts significantly on the British economy – some examples include:

High levels of foreign direct investment (both inwards and outwards). Rising level of import penetration. Globalisation increases the importance for Britain of continuing to develop a

competitive advantage in industries with major growth-potential. Greater investment is needed in high value goods and services – for example in high and medium-high technology manufacturing and in knowledge-intensive service sectors.

Structural change in industries – for example the long-term loss of output and employment in industries such as textiles and other manufacturing sectors.

The current wave of globalisation places heavy emphasis on the importance of human capital, and the global demand for high skill services and high value-added manufacturing output remains strong. The UK will require a substantial improvement in the skills and flexibility of the workforce.

The impact of globalisation on the British government – for example in changing the corporate tax regime and reforming labour markets and the welfare system.

Globalisation has increased competitive pressures on British businesses in tradable goods industries. Cheaper prices for many international commodities and manufactured goods have helped to control inflation in recent years.

Would-be entrepreneurs fail to act on impulse, Clearly Business, 7 March 2005

http://www.clearlybusiness.com/cb/articles/nf_111022519010496.jsp

People in the UK are failing to act on promising business ideas, thereby starving the country of useful inventions, new research has revealed.

A survey by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) shows that while the UK is fertile ground for business brains, many are unable or unwilling to take their ideas forward. Just under three-quarters of respondents admitted to only recording ideas in their head, while 43% went as far as telling someone else and a mere 13% committed pen to paper. As a

Essential reading

result, 23% of male respondents said their idea was seized upon and exploited by someone else. The same was said by 16% of female respondents.

Charles Kitchin, regional marketing manager for the EEDA, said: "With innovation being heralded as the new currency for business success, these statistics should cause concern to the business community. "It is clear that people have the ability to come up with great ideas, but they are not being helped or encouraged to capitalise on them." However, earlier research shows that thousands of people in the UK are acting on ideas. Figures contained in this years' global entrepreneurship monitor show that 6.3% of working adults were involved in a business venture.

Commenting on today's figures, Mike Southern, co-author of 'The Beermat Entrepreneur', said: "People have business ideas every day without realising it. What sets the entrepreneur apart is that they acknowledge their ideas and then put them into practice. "People need to recognise their great ideas, write them down on anything that comes to hand - a beer mat for example - chat about it with friends and then go for it!"

For people wanting to transform business ideas into a working project, Southern offers the following advice:

sum up your idea in two sentences - it needs to say what the idea is, who will benefit most from it and why you are the right person to provide the product or service.

get a mentor to bounce your ideas off find your first customer by doing a trial run - getting someone to part with money is a

way of gauging whether there is a market for your idea. constantly assess how things are going in the early stages - this will help with business

planning.

About London

http://londonctcollege.com/college/about%20london.htm

West London has a population of over 1.3 million people and is of major economic importance to the UK/London. It is the home of Heathrow Airport, many of the country’s media and corporate organisations. The buoyant economy of West London and the proposed Terminal 5 developments at Heathrow Airport continues to create significant opportunities and gives a major boost to the local economy and general prosperity of the region. London’s Heathrow Airport lies within West London and Hillingdon’s boundaries. Heathrow is a significant source of employment for residents and is a catalyst for major business activity in the area. West London has been successful in attracting a large number of national companies with growth potential and is the headquarters for many companies who need to be located near the airport.

GLA Economics, London’s Economy Today, October 2003

http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/economic_unit/docs/londons_economy_today_no14_221003.pdfThe London economy is improvingThese positive developments for the UK and US economies provide an encouraging backdrop for London’s economy. The latest Royal Bank of Scotland London Poll business activity index rose to a three-year high of 59.8 in September, a significant improvement on August’s reading of 57.1 and above the UK average of 56.7. The tourism sector appears to be enjoying anupturn after stabilising in recent months. In the three months to August, overseas visitors to the UK and spending by these visitors rose by 11 per cent and 7 per cent respectively compared to the previous three months. Passenger numbers at the British Airports Authority’s three London airports (Gatwick, Heathrow and Stanstead) were up by 1.7 per cent in September on the same month a year ago. However, out of line with these figures, the British Incoming Tour Operators Association reported a fall in visitor arrivals of 3.5 per cent in August 2003 compared to August 2002. Overall, however, the indicators for London’s tourist sector appear positive.
