  1. Being en·ter·pris·ing is marked by an independent energetic spirit and by readiness to undertake a task or experiment In·no·va·tion Is the introduction of something new and/or a new idea, method (i.e. way of doing and looking at things), or device An en·tre·pre·neur is one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise

  2. Science = Innovation + Enterprise (not necessarily entrepreneurship)

  3. “International and Japanese companies alike ignore the Shibuya girl at their peril… …because what [she] likes has an uncanny habit of catching on… not only among teenagers, but also with more sober, older generations… …[she is] Japan’s trendsetter for technology…” ~ FT, 12 Oct 2005

  4. “Vodafone learned this lesson the hard way. The UK based mobile phone company, once the darling of Shibuya girl, was just a few years ago a market leader in Japan … [failed] to spend enough money keeping Shibuya girl happy.... Within a matter of months, what was trendy became passé, and Shibuya girl's attention wandered. Partly as a result, Vodafone's sales have foundered; the company lost 60,000 subscribers [in January 2005] alone, the biggest fall of any mobile phone company in a single month.” ~ FT, 12 Oct 2005
