Management: Seeking outstanding entrepreneurs
The search is on! Ernst & Young is seeking nominations for outstanding entrepreneurs as part of its Third Annual Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® (EOY) awards, the prestigious annual programme honouring outstanding owners of fast-growing companies.
As the first and only truly global award of its kind, the award celebrates entrepreneurs who are building and leading successful, growing and dynamic businesses and recognises them through regional, national and global award programmes in over 100 cities and 35 countries. The worldwide recognition of the award gives recipients the credential as world-class entrepreneurial companies and provides a benchmark for entrepreneurial excellence. Winners often become much admired companies in their industry - many become global brand names.
In Malaysia, the programme is into its third year.
