The name of the game for the government this year is economic growth and increased productivity. For that, what New Zealand needs is successful businesses. One of New Zealand’s most successful entrepreneurs believes more can be done to grow business confidence and the economy alike. Rowan Simpson, one of the founding members and investors in TradeMe and Xero, is releasing ‘How to Be Wrong’, a book that details the unique position New Zealand is in to grow businesses. He told Mike Hosking that while there are plenty of ideas that are not investable, there’s more than enough that have great potential.
