We define entrepreneurship as the pursuit of opportunity beyond the tangible resources currently controlled. We believe that entrepreneurship describes a way of managing rather than a specific economic function or characteristic of an individual. The premise of the group is that success for individuals and for organizations comes from careful definition of their opportunities, from an understanding of the resource requirements for achievement of their desired future state and from skill in negotiating with their environment for access to the required resources. All three elements in creating that success are learnable skills. Both formal education and informal mentoring lead to understanding the successes and failures of others, which in turn leads to skill development.
Role models demonstrate how much is possible.
The driving motivation and vision for the EM group is that our students will achieve their goals and that we will be deemed to have been instrumental in helping them both to dream bigger dreams and to accomplish things that would not have been thought possible before the experience of our courses.
