Abstract:

This paper compares innovation and entrepreneurship in economies with Buddhism cultures, including Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Japan, S Korea, Lao, Myanmar, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan regions. It was found that those regions with around 30% of Buddhist population are much more innovative and entrepreneurial than others. It was observed that the Religious Diversity Index (RDI) are quite higher in those 30% regions. Looking at all the regions, RDI is correlated with GDP per capita, innovation index, entrepreneurial index, freedom of business as well as happiness index. The result was explained and explored by the U Model of Chinese Wisdom. The U Model covers three stages of wisdom development by incorporating the diverse Chinese Ancient, Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism cultures, i.e., the ABCD summary of Chinese traditional culture. The first stage of the U model help people to calm down their mind and liberate from mental anxieties and physical problems by the Buddhism and/or Taoism methods (i.e., Liberation Path). The second stage is nurturing the capability of generating intuitive and creative ideas inspired by Zen Buddhism and/or Daoism meditation for enlightenment of intelligence (i.e., Enlightenment path). The third stage is the intention of contribution to the society according to the Confucianism tenet of (i.e., Contribution path). The U Model was then elaborated into a 6Pi framework of innovation and entrepreneurship, covering the steps from Problem identification, Preparation of information, Ponderation for incubation, Proposal with intuition, Pivot based on inspection to Plan for implementation. The U model and the 6Pi framework incorporate Chinese Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism cultures and wisdom from the Western perspectives of innovation and entrepreneurship. It may reveal the secret of Eastern Asian economic miracle and provide suggestions for its further development in Asia as well as the whole Buddhism regions.

Abstract:

The main objective of this conference is to explain a theoretical model to understand the importance of disruption—in three of its dimensions, thinking, creativity, and innovation—developed and applied in the thinking and exercise of entrepreneurship and, at the same time, highlight the relationship of the disruption with competitiveness. Being competitive is one of the most demanding goals that entrepreneurs can and should set themselves; however, unlike established or traditional companies, usually the entrepreneur cannot promote competitiveness in the same way that they do. Taking these into account, it is necessary to use unconventional tools, or a different perspective methodology, for promoting creativity and innovation beyond the entrepreneurial activity itself. The model seeks to illustrate how disruptive currents can help entrepreneurs to be more competitive and, at the same time, boost their entrepreneurial spirit.
