The Mind of the Entrepreneur:
How Successful Entrepreneurs Learn
-- Brian K Chupp, Clinton O Longenecker and Sonny Ariss
This paper sheds light on entrepreneurial learning and makes a call for action. The statistics show the importance of entrepreneurial organizations to every nation’s economic success. To foster this success, it is imperative that all parties involved help entrepreneurs learn how to successfully learn and grow. In this sense, the implications of these findings are significant. For academic institutions, it is imperative not only to teach the functional skills necessary for effective entrepreneurial activity, but also to prepare students to become more effective in their role as ‘lifelong learners’. Younger entrepreneurs need to be conditioned to understand the key dimensions of on-the-job and informal learning if they are to achieve and maintain success.

The Entrepreneurial Edge
-- Richard Cross
Entrepreneurship is a term that generally carries a cachet. Recently there has been an inflation in the use of the term entrepreneur that such modern folk heroes can be found in any walk of life. How can countries balance the support to individual entrepreneurs all the way back to the Patent system and the ideas they produce, to create a sustainable societal legacy, rather than a winner-takes-all society? Where there is a will there is an entrepreneurial way.

Building Entrepreneurial and Innovative Organizations
-- Colin Coulson-Thomas
Traditional compliance can stifle enterprise while appropriate support can both liberate and reduce risk. The interests of customers, independent entrepreneurs, companies and investors are rapidly converging. We are at a turning point in the relationship between people and organizations and between micro-businesses and larger companies. Performance support gives us an historic opportunity to reconcile and align individual and corporate goals.

Which Leadership Competencies Can Help Create an Entrepreneurial Culture in Egypt?
-- Stephanie Jones and Mohamed Mostafa Saad
Definitions of leadership effectiveness in practice may be measured objectively, including people-oriented economic measures, such as income per capita, the reduction of poverty over time, decrease in unemployment, increase in the standard of living, lower levels of inflation and better purchasing power parity. It is also possible to consider countrywide measures such as GDP, GNP, and transportation and logistics statistics. International comparisons include FDI totals, the Corruption Perceptions Index of Transparency International, import and export figures, and the extent of the national debt. The creation of an entrepreneurial culture (or lack of) can be measured by these and other ways.

Creating a Culture for Innovation
-- Bob Murray
Not all organizations need to innovate, though all need the ability to be nimble and to be ready to make significant changes. What is not often realized by CEOs and others is that often what is needed is rapid adoption of innovation—the taking up and applying the ideas of others rather than concentrating on innovation itself. What corporations and firms need to do is to quickly apply innovations, whether their own or other people’s. In order to institute any change—whether it is encouraging innovation, rapid adoption or a major strategic change—it is important to get the culture right. Without that, no transformation is possible. With it goes having the right leadership and sufficient trust—colleague of colleague, employee of manager (and vice versa), and in the organization as a whole.

Evoking Entrepreneurial Culture Through Strategic Experiments
-- Mohit (Max) Bhanabhai
Organizational culture implies and progressively dictates the practices, etiquette and behaviors that would be embraced as instrumental or those that would be detrimental to a firm’s evolution. Organizational DNA represents the definition of processes, structure, systems and people capability which can—paradoxically—act as obstacles to enabling an organizational culture that fosters entrepreneurship. This paper provides insights to top level management on how to evoke a more entrepreneurial culture by recognizing activities that exist within the boundaries and often underneath the corporate radar. It does so by outlining three main challenges adopted from a compelling framework for strategic innovations.

Edupreneurs as Change Agents:
An Opinion Survey of Beneficiary Students
-- S Mercia Selva Malar and Bindhu Ann Mathew
Edupreneurs are change agents for the goodness of the economy. Edupreneurs, as a social entrepreneurial clan, have done remarkably good alterations to the Indian society. Edupreneurship must be continued and edupreneurs must be encouraged to grow for the benefit of the economy. Edupreneurs, when patronized, will prove to be real assets of the economy, adding value to the varied aspects of the economy. Edupreneurs surely are change agents who work for the goodness of the society.
