The term unicorn does not just refer to mythical horse-like creatures with a single white horn on their forehead. These days, it also refers to mainly tech startup companies with a valuation exceeding a billion dollars. Michael Wade is Professor of Innovation and Strategy at the IMD business school in Switzerland. He told Alex Ritson that the high number of unicorns may be a sign of financial trouble ahead.
