Intrapreneurship: Innovation That No One Talks About
It’s about time we celebrate the entrepreneur! With the death of Steve Jobs, entrepreneurs have become the most admired people of our time even more so than athletes and celebrities. Popular television shows like “Shark Tank” have highlighted this trend as well.

We’ll explore the inner workings of an intrapreneur, discuss the value these individuals bring to their organizations and share ideas on how you can unleash the intrapreneur within you to help build your personal brand value.

They are keen to concentrate on adaptive executions and they motivate their team members so that the common goal can be achieved (McGrath and MacMillan, 2000).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Q1: Characteristics or Features or importance of successful Entrepreneurs
or explain the personalFeatures ofEntrepreneurial Leadership.
Answer:
Entrepreneur:
An Entrepreneur is an individual who undertakes the risk associated with creating,
organizing, and awning a business.
Entrepreneurship:
It is the process of starting a business, a startup company or other organization.
CharacteristicsorFeatures:
There are ten features or characteristics of Entrepreneurship.
1) Risk Taking:
Entrepreneurs are risk takers ready to drive deep into a future of uncertainty. But
not all risk takers are successful entrepreneurs. Successful entrepreneurs are will to risk
time and money on knowns, but they also keep resources plans, and bandwidth for
dealing with “unknown unknowns” in reserve. When evaluating risk, a successful
entrepreneur with ask herself, is this risk worth the cost of My career, time and money?
And. What will do if this venture doesn’t pay off?
2) Self – belief, hard work & Disciplined Dedication.
Entrepreneurs enjoy what they do. They believe in themselves and are confident
and dedicated to their project. Occasionally, they may show stubbornness in their intense
focus on and faith in their idea. But the flip side is their demonstrated discipline and
dedications.
3) Adaptability & flexibility.
It is good to be passionate or even stubborn about what you do. But being
inflexible about client or market need will lead to failure. Remember, an entrepreneurial
venture is not simply about doing what you believe is good, but also making successful
business out of it.
4) Understand your offering and its market.
Entrepreneurs know their product offering inside and out. They also know the
marketplace and its dynamics inside & out. Remaining unaware of changing market
2. Danishsaqi www.facebook.com/mdanishsaqi
needs, competitor moves and other internal factors can bring even great products to
failure (for example, Blockbuster)
5) Money Management.
It takes times to get to profitability for any entrepreneurial venture till then,
capital is limited and needs to be utilized wisely. Successful entrepreneurs realize this
mandatory money management requirements and plan for present and future financial
obligations. Even after securing funding or going fully operational, a successful business
man keeps a complete handle on cash flows, as it is the most important aspect of any
business.
6) Planning (But not over planning)
Entrepreneurship is about building a business from scratch while managing
limited resources (including time, money and personal relationships). It is long term
commitment, and attempting to plan as much as possible at the beginning is a noble
impulse. In reality, however, planning for every thing and having a ready solution for all
possible risks many prevent you from even taking the first step. Successful entrepreneurs
do keep some dry powder in reserve, but more importantly they maintain a mindset and
temperament to capable of dealing with unforeseen possibilities.
7) Networking Abilities.
How do you tap your Network for solutions, may people seek comfort in
commiseration: friends colleagues and neighbors are happy to complain with your about
“the global slowdown” poor demand, or unfair competition; but that won’t improve the
bottom line. They reach out to mentors with more experience and intensive networks to
seek valuable advice.
8) Being prepared to take the Exit
Not every attempt will result in success. The failure of entrepreneurial ventures is
very high. At times, it is absolutely fine to take the “practical” exit route and try
something new, instead of continuing to make sunk cost investments in the some venture.
Many famous entrepreneurs weren’t successful the first time around. But they had the
serenity and foresight to know when to cut their losses.
9) Entrepreneurs Doubt themselves but not too much.
You may ask yourself, am 1 an entrepreneur? And the very question may put you
in doubt about the answer. Even if you don’t have the flair of Steve jobs or the hair of
Elon musk, if you have the courage to ask yourself intimidating questions. Can I do this?
Do I want to do this? You have the stuff to be an entrepreneur.
3. Danishsaqi www.facebook.com/mdanishsaqi
Instead of worrying about fitting the image of the perfect entrepreneur, check in with
your gut
10) Passion & Motivation.
The one word that describes the basic requirement for and entrepreneurship
venture is “passion”
Is there something that you can work on over and over again, with out
getting bored?
Is there something that keeps you awake?
Is there something that you have built and want to continue to improve
upon?
Is there something that you enjoy the most and want to continue doing for
the rest of your life?
Your demonstration of passion and motivation will determine your success in any
entrepreneurial venture. From building and implementing a prototype, to parching you idea
to venture capitalists, success is a function of passion and determination.

Q4: Explain break even analysis & its calculator
Answer:
Break-evenpoint:
The point at which total of fired & variable costs of a business become equal to its total
revenue is known as break-even point.
Revenues = variable cost
At this point a business neither earns any profit nor suffers any loss it also known as, no
profit, no loss, or zero profit point.
Calculation of break even point is important for every business because it tells business
owners & managers how much sale are needed to cover all fixed as well as variable expenses of
the business or the sale volume after which the business will start generating profit. The
computation of sales volume required to break even is known as break-even analysis.
When there is profit.
Revenue > variable cost + fixed cost
At break point
Revenue = variable cost + fixed cost
When there is a loss.
Revenue < variable cost + fixed cost
Calculationof break-evenpoint
1) Use of equation method:
The application of equation method facilitates the computation of break even
point both in units and in dollars.
Q = variable expenses + fixed expenses
Sales price per unit
Q = Number (quantity) of units to be manufactured & sold during the period
Suppose;
The annual fixed expenses to run the business are $ 15,000 and variable expenses
are $ 7.50 per unit sale price of your product is $ 15 per unit. The number of units to be
sold to break even can be easily calculated using equation method.
Q = variable expenses + fixed expenses
Sales price per unit
10. Danishsaqi www.facebook.com/mdanishsaqi
Q = Q7.5 + 15000
15
15Q = 7.5Q + 15000
15Q – 7.5 Q = 15000
7.5 Q = 15000
Q= 15000 / 7.5
Q= 2000 units
The break-even point in unit is 2000 units and break even point in dollars are;
=2000 units x $15
= 30,000
2) Use of contribution margin method;
The method describe above is equation method. Some people use another method
called contribution margin method under this method; the total fixed expenses are divided
by contribution margin per unit.
Consider the following computations.
= Total fixed exp / Contribution margin per unit
If total fixed exp are 15000 and margin ration is 0.5 then.
= $ 15000
0.5
= 30,000
Note: 0.5 = (15-7.5)

Graphical presentation
The graphical presentation of dollar and unit sales needed to break even is
known as break even chart or cup graph;

Number of units
Explanation:
With the help of above graph, we can easily judge the break – even point and can estimate the
revenue and variable & fixed expenses. On the above diagram, the “E” shows the break-even
point, show the 1800 units at 11000 dollars.

Q9: Features and types of Synergy in Mergers andAcquisition?
Answer:
Synergy:
Synergy is two or more things working together in order to create something that is
bigger or greater than the sum of their individual efforts.
Example: When an actor and a great director work together to create a movie that is more
amazing than would have happened if each had worked separately.
Features ofsyergy:
1. Companies can spread their commercial interest.
2. Increase profit of each seperate medium
3. Enhances company’s image
4. influince public opinion
5. Can reach shrinking audiences with diverse tastes.
6. Dominant a variety in markets.
7. Sharing skills between two companies and exploiting strengths.
8. Companies can merge with a corporation making a loss in order to reduce their tax
burden.
9. Corporate synergies due to mergers result in larger firm size which is perceived
10. Increase in managerial effectiveness, which is required for the success of a corporation.
Types of Synergy:
There are two types of synergies in mergers and acquisition.
1. Operational Synergies:
Operating synergy is when the value and performance of two firms combined is
greater than the sum of the separate firms apart and, as such, allows the firms to increase
their operating income and achieve higher growth.
Operating synergies can arise from the following:
Economies of scale;
Greater pricing power and higher margins resulting from greater market share
and lower competition;
Combination of different functional strengths such as marketing skills and good
product line; or
Higher levels of growth from new and expanded markets.
22. Danishsaqi www.facebook.com/mdanishsaqi
Operating synergies are achieved through horizontal, vertical or conglomerate mergers.
Mergers of firms, which have competencies in different areas such as production,
research and development or marketing and finance, can help achieve operating
efficiencies.
Operating synergy is an important reason why strategic buyers sometimes pay
significant premiums. Mid-market business owners that are approached by strategic
buyers should try to quantify the operating synergies that buyers might be able to realize
post acquisition. This can go a long way to obtaining a premium valuation upon exit.
2. Financial Synergies:
Financial synergy is when the combination of two firms together results in greater
value than if they were to operate separately. Financial synergies are most often evaluated
in the context of mergers and acquisitions. These type of synergies relate to improvement
in the financial metric of a combined business such as revenue, debt capacity, cost of
capital, profitability, etc.
Synergies related to operational metrics are referred to as operating synergies.
Examples of positive financial synergies include:
Increased revenues through a larger customer base
Lower costs through streamlined operations
Talent and technology harmonies
In addition, financial synergies can result in the following benefits post acquisition:
Increased debt capacity
Greater cash flows
Lower Cost of Capital
Tax Benefits
When evaluating a merger or acquisition, the positive synergies usually produce a
successful result. While financial synergies are often used with a positive connotation,
these synergies can also be negative in some situations. For instance, an acquiring
company may have to incur additional costs in the target company to bolster the
management team or implement systems to meet the standards of the acquirer.
Although financial synergies are usually experienced by strategic buyers, a
financial buyer may be willing to pay a premium for the acquisition of a mid-market
business due to the benefits associated with a more efficient capital structure and lower
cost of financing.
23. Danishsaqi www.facebook.com/mdanishsaqi
Other synergies:
Surplus Human Resources: companies with skilled managers and staff can best utilize t
hese resources only if they have problems to solve. The acquisition of inefficient
companies is sometimes the only way of using skilled human resources.
Surplus cash flow: companies with large amounts of surplus cash may see the
acquisition of other companies as the only possible application for these funds.
Market power: horizontal mergers may enable the company to seek a degree of monopo
ly power, which could increase its profitability.
Organic growth: growth using mergers and acquisition is speedier than the organic
growth.

the fact that people can be stimulated to greater creativity by meeting with others and
participating in organized group experiences. The characteristics of this method are
keeping criticism away; free wheeling of idea, high quantity of ideas, combinations and
improvements of ideas. Such type of session should be fun with no scope for domination
and inhibition. Brainstorming has a greater probability of success when the effort focuses
on specific product or market area.
3. Problem inventory analysis:
It is a method for obtaining new ideas and solutions by focusing on problems.
This analysis uses individuals in a manner that is analogous to focus groups to generate
new product areas. However, instead of generating new ideas, the consumers are
provided with list of problems and then asked to have discussion over it and it ultimately
results in an entirely new product idea.
Innovation:
The process of translating an idea or invention into a good or service that creates value or
for Innovation involves deliberate application of information, imagination and initiative in
deriving greater or different values from resources, and includes all processes by which new
ideas are generated and converted into useful products, Which customers will pay to be called an
innovation, an idea must be replicable at an economical cost and must satisfy a specific need.

characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make
connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity
