Entrepreneurial Brothers in Arms - The Egos Have Landed

Jim Riley

6th July 2009

Just picked up on this detailed story in the Sunday Tmes last week which speculates about whether media mogul Simon Cowell is about to set up a business in partnership with retail magnate Philip Green. The two entrepreneurs are believed to have been plotting (sorry, business planning) the venture in Beverley Hills for a while. Much potential here for an interesting discussion with students about the potential upsides and downsides of putting two high-profile business people together. Are their skills closely and appropriately matched? (as suggested by the article). Or is this an argument and falling-out just waiting to happen?
