The Enterprise 50

The Enterprise 50 (E50) Awards are jointly organized annually by The Business Times and KPMG to recognize and reward the 50 most enterprising local SMEs across all industry sectors. It is sponsored by OCBC Bank and supported by IDA, IE Singapore and Spring Singapore.
At the beginning of 2009, NUS Business School partnered with the E50 organisers to embark on a new educational project, which involves teams of BBA students working closely with each of the 2008 E50 winning companies to understand and study their business models, value propositions, business operations as well as their entrepreneurial passion, and leadership ideology. The students would then write a report in the form of an article profiling each company.
Beyond these profile reports, the student teams also write confidential in-depth consulting reports for the E50 winning companies. These reports, complete with the students’ recommendations for the companies, are also formally presented by the student teams to the CEOs and their senior management teams.
The articles, published in The Business Times from July to October 2009, were compiled into a book entitled, “Enterprise 50 – The best SMEs in Singapore”.
This project has since grown in reach and popularity, and is set to continue in the years to come.
