Startups or Behomeths? (Techcrunch - Wadhwa)

Research that shows creativity and innovation is most effective in startup entrepreneurial companies:

Kauffman Foundation has done extensive research on job creation. Kauffman Senior Fellow Tim Kane analyzed a new data set from the U.S. government, called Business Dynamics Statistics, which provides details about the age and employment of businesses started in the U.S. since 1977.  What this showed was that startups aren’t just an important contributor to job growth: they’re the only thing. Without startups, there would be no net job growth in the U.S. economy.

In a related article, Ross Gittins confirms that

"...over the decades, improved productivity is actually the main source of growth in GDP."

meaning, productive-creativity is the engine of economic growth, and jobs growth.

In other words, creative entrepeneurs are the engines for economic growth.
