Think and Act Differently

I was thinking about to keep writing on the application of brand theories, but I would like to like about the Entrepreneurial skills this time, since we had a lecture by Prof. Palin, and his “horrible” dog.

 
What Are The Entrepreneurial Skills?

Since it has many varieties of definition in this society, I would like to quote what Prof. Palin said in our class.

1)      Opportunity Recognition

2)      Identifying and Gathering Necessary Resources

3)      Creativity in Planning

4)      Execution for Success

 

Actually I am majoring in Entrepreneurship at Elon University, and Prof. Palin is my academic advisor now. When I visited his office, he told me that the more and more companies in the United States are going to hire students with entrepreneurship spirit.

In fact, this trend also applies to Japanese companies. Why do they need the entrepreneurial students?

This is my implication; now the society is changing really fast, and no one can predict our future status in5 years or 10 years. Therefore, the companies need people who have “Intrapreneurial skills”.

 

Is It Always Right To Do Different Things?

 

This is the most difficult question that I have in these days. Yeah, doing different things is really interesting, and easy to drag the attentions. But, it also increases the risk to disgust someone. Personally, I have an experience in large dogs (I got my balls bitten by grandpa’s dog when I was 5 years old) and I focused on not Prof. Palin but on his dog!

This is one of the funny things, like you can take it as joke, but maybe there would be someone who just felt uncomfortable. By the way, I really understand why he took his dog to the lecture.

The question “is it always right to do different things?” is going to be examined by myself.
