Posted by As usual, the class began the conversation with a question, bringing the focus to the fundamental
concepts of entrepreneurship.
¿what problem would you solve?, and if such problem is solved ¿what experience or thing would
you save with your endeavour?, and then with this achievement ¿what new things or experiences
would you create?.
As is expected the ideas came up quickly from the audience, for instances: improve scholarship
opportunities, handle the water system issues, religious tolerance encouragement, reduce the rates
of suicides commitments, distinguish emotions and feelings proactively, earthquakes forecasting,
among others.
The point here was unleashed ideas, without limits. After this, a round of videos brought more
understanding about the characteristics of the technology entrepreneurship. We watched the
following videos from EitDigital:
- Introduction to Entrepreneurship
- Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship
- Risks and Rewards
- Destructive and creative innovation
Moreover, between the video interventions there was a flourishing of questions as is expected, I
think one remarkable question was about the motivation behind any innovation. To exemplify, the
motto in Facebook was the identification of the need of making communities by affinity.
So, ¿what is our motto here?, ¿do we feel like a truly “wanna be” entrepreneur? Or we are here
because I have to? Or are you in the middle trying to exhibit your own entrepreneurial
characteristics?. After an interactive and open survey in the classroom, the majority are willing to
demonstrate their potential, but do not feel like a truly “wanna be” yet.
Hence, ¿what are the advantages in being involved in any entrepreneurial adventure?. For instance,
¿what are the advantages and drawbacks from the audience perspective?
- Pros: Independent, problem solver, visionary, flexible, dynamic, ambitious, among others.
- Cons: Risky, time consuming, stressful, lack of support, unrealistic, not healthy, among
others.
Finally, the teacher’s invitation is to make a reflection about the certainties of the world. So, ¿how
do you perceive the world?, ¿Is this world predictable? Probably, your answers could change your
own perception about entrepreneurship.
Hope this helps!
All the best,
