Lesson Onemgt240 Powerpoint
The document provides an overview of a lesson about the impact of entrepreneurship on the world economy. It discusses how entrepreneurship has changed the global economic landscape through competition and collaboration between entrepreneurs from different cultures. It also mentions the concept of a "creative class" and how visualizing a future American economy driven by entrepreneurship.
Intro ent day_01
This document provides an overview of key concepts in entrepreneurship. It begins by outlining 10 chapter objectives covering topics like defining entrepreneurship, characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, and the entrepreneurial process. It then discusses the growing interest in entrepreneurship as evidenced by increasing books/courses. Entrepreneurship is defined as pursuing opportunities without regard to resources controlled. The document outlines reasons for becoming an entrepreneur, characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, common myths, and the economic and social impacts of entrepreneurial firms. It concludes by describing the four steps in the entrepreneurial process.
The One Billion Dollar Question
If given $1 billion to invest as a policymaker in the MENA region, the author would not put the entire funds into a single corporate entity. Instead, the funds should be used to invest in the region's future by reducing youth unemployment and unleashing potential through entrepreneurship. Specifically, the majority of funds should go towards fostering a startup-friendly ecosystem and investing in innovative business ideas. This is because startups create many jobs, attract top talent, and foster an innovation culture where failure is part of the learning process. While a unicorn startup is enticing, historically the most economic success comes from a large number of entrepreneurial ventures, not just one large investment.

The document discusses how the current job market is uncertain and unstable, with long-term unemployment and increased competition for jobs. It suggests that individuals can no longer rely solely on traditional careers and need to take control of their own futures by exploring self-employment options such as small business ownership or franchising. It promotes speaking with the author, Gerri Sefi, a self-employment coach, to discuss career transition options and how to find the right business opportunity.
Mascafe 9 in 1 Business Presentation

BUSINESS STARTED DURING RECESSION
The document presents information on businesses started during recessions. It introduces recessions as periods of economic contraction and slowdown. While recessions seem like a bad time to start a business, the document notes that recessions also create new opportunities and needs that entrepreneurs can fulfill. Specifically, it lists eight reasons why recessions can be a good time to start a business, such as lower costs and less competition. The document concludes by pointing out that some of the largest, most successful companies like Disney, HP, Microsoft, and FedEx were all started during recessions.

Higher cortex function
Higher cognitive functions such as speech, praxis, and gnosis are localized to the cortex of the large human brain. Damage to specific areas of the left hemisphere can cause different types of aphasia, or language disorders. Broca's aphasia is caused by damage to the frontal lobe and results in non-fluent speech. Wernicke's aphasia is caused by damage to the temporal lobe and affects language comprehension. Other disorders include apraxia, the inability to perform learned skills, and agraphia or alexia, the inability to write or read.

This document discusses a panel presentation on infusing culturally relevant texts into K-5 classrooms. It aims to promote literacy success for diverse students. The panel examines how such texts foster student engagement and help children understand the world. Research questions ask how culturally relevant texts impact learning engagement and deepen worldviews. Examples are provided for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade levels. Findings indicate these texts build on students' backgrounds, foster interpersonal skills, and increase social awareness. The panel advocates for student-centered classrooms and higher-order thinking.

3. Successful entrepreneurs find niches, do proper research, build strong teams, get good timing, and learn how to effectively communicate, adapt, and sell in order to make their businesses grow and

The document discusses identifying opportunities through observing trends in the external environment. It identifies the main trends as economic forces, social forces, technological advances, and political/regulatory changes. These trends suggest gaps in the market where new business opportunities may exist. Examples of trends discussed include the aging population and focus on health/wellness creating opportunities in healthcare, and busy lifestyles fueling demand for fast food and services that save time. Entrepreneurs are advised to monitor trends to recognize windows where opportunities align with customer needs and pain points.

Entrepreneurs differ from
managers generally. An entre-
preneur is a manager but engages
in additional activities that not
all managers do.
6
Traditionally,
managers operate in a formal
management hierarchy with
well-defined authority and responsibility. In contrast, entrepre-
neurs use networks of contacts more than formal authority. And
although managers usually prefer to own assets, entrepreneurs
often rent or use assets on a temporary basis. Some say that man-
agers often are slower to act and tend to avoid risk, whereas entre-
preneurs are quicker to act and actively manage risk.
An entrepreneur’s organization may be small, but it differs
from a typical small business:

• A small business has fewer than 100 employees, is independently
owned and operated, is not dominant in its field, and is not charac-
terized by many innovative practices. Small business owners tend
not to manage particularly aggressively, and they expect normal,
moderate sales, profits, and growth.

SME Chapter 1
The document discusses entrepreneurs and small businesses. It notes that a new business is created every 11 seconds in the US, and that entrepreneurs launch 3.5-4.5 million businesses per year. Entrepreneurs take risks to pursue new opportunities and profit. Small businesses make up most businesses and jobs in the US and are a major contributor to the economy. However, small business ownership also involves long hours, stress, and high failure rates within the first few years.
State of Startup: A research on Startup Business
Entrepreneurs are the mythic heroes of our economy. We relish retelling the stories of superstar entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs, Biz Stone, and Debbi Fields. But are they typical? Most new businesses stay small and don’t change the world (at least, not all by themselves).
Let’s start with a 360° view of what a “typical” new business looks like, according to our research.
Era of startups
According to the statistics provided:
1. 50% of new businesses fail within five years, but those that survive past two years are less likely to fail each subsequent year as they build a customer base and cash reserves.
2. Entrepreneurs who have previously failed at a business venture have a 20% chance of success with their next venture, higher than the 18% chance for first-time entrepreneurs, since failure teaches valuable lessons.
