Readers will learn how to: identify unmet needs, raise money, choose the right collaborators, create multiple income streams, and turn their unique knowledge and experience into a profitable business—while reinvesting in their communities and empowering others to do the same. If we can change who gets to decide what new ideas are worthy, and who gets to turn those ideas into reality, not only can we change our own circumstances—we can change the world.

Was ist ein Unternehmen? Die Antwort auf diese Frage bestimmt darüber, wie Unternehmer und Manager ihre Unternehmen führen. Und sie bestimmt über die Ausrichtung der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, denn mit dieser Antwort steht und fällt das Verständnis der Wissenschaft, deren Kerngegenstand Unternehmen sind. Man meint, die Antwort sei klar. Doch dem ist nicht so.Die Beantwortung der Frage, was ein Unternehmen ist, startet mit dem Problem des unternehmerischen Praktikers. Er muss sichere Ausgaben tätigen, um unsichere Einnahmen zu generieren. Sein Problem ist die individuelle Unsicherheit, unter der er handelt.Die individuelle Unsicherheit des unternehmerischen Entscheiders macht das Wesen des Unternehmens zum Versuch. Um den Versuch Unternehmen zu gestalten, bedient er sich institutioneller Gestaltungselemente, die das Unternehmen als Institution erscheinen lassen.Alles Zukünftige ist unsicher.

We live in the Age of Knowledge but we are heading towards the Age of Imagination. However, our current education systems still divide arts and business, juxtaposing them as different worlds, apparently ignoring the essential truth that imagination is the springboard of innovation. For business to continue to evolve, the barriers to creativity and innovation must be lowered. In Innovation and the Arts: The Value of Humanities Studies for Business, editors Piero Formica and John Edmondson bring together a cast of expert contributors to explore how arts education can transform future business and social endeavours by developing empathy and enhancing skills frequently identified as lacking in graduates entering the workplace. Looking at arts and humanities across the broad spectrum of business and social innovation, and in the context of business education, examples of entrepreneurial and innovative developments, and the nature of the innovative mind, the contributors show how underdeveloped empathy and creativity constrain innovation. Art is disruptive, and innovation requires disruption to thrive. By dwelling on the need for the convergence of business, innovation and the arts, Innovation and the Arts highlights the inestimable value of lowering the psychological, organizational and institutional barriers that keep them apart. For educators and practitioners, this is an in-depth discussion designed to stimulate awareness of the issues facing business education.

The content within this publication examines economic theory, lifelong learning, opportunistic and positive thinking, business creativity, and operations management. It is designed for entrepreneurs, students, business educators, academicians, managers, and researchers.

Um dieser Frage auf den Grund zu gehen, erforscht Jana-Michaela Timm die Lebensgeschichten unterschiedlichster UnternehmerInnen – von jungen Start-Ups bis hin zu über hundert Jahre bestehenden Familienunternehmen.

So schafft sie bedeutende Anknüpfungspunkte für didaktische Überlegungen zu einer „Bildung für Sustainability Entrepreneurship“ und gibt Anstöße, über gängige Lehrmethoden und -inhalte neu nachzudenken.

As entrepreneurship programs proliferate—from classes in higher education to incubators, accelerators, open innovation platforms, and innovation factories—our understanding of the advantages and challenges of different modes of learning becomes increasingly obscured. In Educating Entrepreneurs, Kariv provides an impressively broad and thorough overview of the field of entrepreneurship education, along with practical tools for students to be able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the different options that exist, as well as for these programs'developers and managing teams to be able to plan and manage such processes.Examining these programs, which are found both within and outside of academia, along with insights into their challenges and opportunities, should help students grasp the entrepreneurship education field, its goals, target audience, and ecosystem involvement. Kariv supplements this comprehensive evaluation with case studies and examples that tie the theory to practical applications. Students can read about contemporary ventures, such as Y Combinators, Techstars, and SOSA, giving them concrete examples to relate to. Interviews with program stakeholders around the world complete the view, with an exploration of the cultural and country-based dynamics related to programs developed in specific countries.Being both thorough and informative, this book will serve students and faculty of entrepreneurship courses, as well as practitioners looking to understand their entrepreneurship education options.

La literatura científica sobre el emprendimiento alude a la educación como uno de los factores decisivos en la creación de una cultura emprendedora y adquisición de conocimientos que proporcionen competencias y destrezas útiles a los futuros emprendedores.Además, parece suficientemente demostrado el impacto que la educación formal e informal tiene en la creación de empresas, ejerciendo, además, un papel vehicular entre la disminución de la pobreza y las redes de sociedades emprendedoras.El emprendimiento constituye un fenómeno cultural que encierra conductas, valores, creencias y modos de actuación de su principal protagonista, el emprendedor. Es el encargado de ejecutar este cambio de rumbo que no es posible sin una adecuada formación en competencias emprendedoras.Concretamente es fundamental trabajar, por un lado, el espíritu empresarial como mecanismo que impregna el conocimiento, facilita su propagación y genera crecimiento económico. Y, por otro lado, el espíritu emprendedor que se construye a partir de la intersección de elementos como oportunidad, características del individuo emprendedor, educación en actitudes y capacidades de empresariales. Trasfondo sobre el que el libro quiere aportar no solo una reflexión de corte pedagógico-social sobre el significado y alcance del emprendimiento como innovación, sino también criterios eficaces para la toma de decisiones y el cambio social.

Till Sender stellt das Verfahren einer komplexitätswissenschaftlichen, wirtschaftsdidaktischen Lerndiagnostik zum Monitoring ökonomischer Lernprozesse vor. Mit dem Verfahren zeigt der Autor einen Weg auf, wie die Lokalisierung besonders prekärer und zugleich emergenter Lernphasen (sog. liminale Unsicherheitsphasen) während des ökonomischen Lerngeschehens gelingen kann. Dazu werden die Befunde zweier Welten – der qualitativen Schwellenkonzeptliteratur und der quantitativen Komplexitätswissenschaften – zu einem einheitlichen Modell zusammengeführt. Zwei empirische Diagnostikstudien zeigen auf, wie das Verfahren in die lerndiagnostische Praxis eingebracht werden kann. ​

This book is based on a highly successful joint project between the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), under the auspices of the Cambridge-MIT Institute. The project brings together communities of highly diverse individuals to share and learn how to be enterprising. It has run 17 times with the positive outcomes of not only training more enterprising individuals, but also building capacity in universities.The unique feature of this book is how it covers learning in enterprising skills, while at the same time builds capacity in such a way that the alumni themselves can take what they have learned for the benefit of others. Through this book, the authors intend to share what they have learnt and to transmit their passion for this program to others for personal development. Hopefully, others will then repeat this positive experience and make a difference to their respective institutions and communities.

This informative book examines the process of nascent entrepreneurship from a learning perspective. It offers a multi-layered framework of nascent entrepreneurship through an inter-disciplinary approach and sound application of Bourdieu's conceptual tools and also by generating practical insights for nascent entrepreneurs, enterprise educators and mentors.Supported by an empirical investigation of two case studies, the authors argue that it is not sufficient to study nascent entrepreneurship and concurrent process of entrepreneurial learning at just the individual (entrepreneur) or collective (team or organisational) level and examine the socio-behavioural aspects of learning; but that entrepreneurial learning should be understood by inter-relating personal (micro), relational (meso) and macro-contextual aspects of nascent entrepreneurship. The comprehensive coverage of entrepreneurship theory and research will be of significant value for scholars, researchers and students in the field.
