(Undertake)
A disruptive phenomenon
Entrepreneurship is a vehicle of change, especially radical
change or innovation

elements »
(Schumpeter, 1943 : 106-7)

Technology entrepreneurs
« An investment in a project that assembles and deploys specialized individuals and heterogeneous assets intricately
related to advances in scientific and technological knowledge for the purpose of creating and capturing value for a firm »
(Bailetti, 2012)
A constructive phenomenon
Entrepreneurship is a process of discovering unnoticed value
opportunities
When the entrepreneur is open to opportunities - vigilant, in situation of alterness - he discovers novel ways to exploit resources and create value
(Kirzner, 1973)
Filling gaps
Community-based entreprise
« A process in which the community acts entrepreneurially to create and operate a new enterprise embedded in its existing
social structure… Furthermore, CBEs are managed and governed to pursue the economic and social goals of a
community to yield sustainable benefits over the short and long term »

Seize with the hand to master…not to possess
As educators
Prepare future generations to infer change and adjust to it
Entrepreneurship as a mindset & a set of
competences

As leadersAlign our education system
with these ongoing major changes
Entrepreneurship as a pragmatic change in the
education
But don’t wait for change from above, it’s grassroots

Opening cognitions
Rethink our educational values out of the box
Forget the plans and build projects with your people
Engage them to make sense by debating to reach consensus

Being pragmatic
Mobilize the resources at hand
Reach out for resources beyond endowment
Relate & include people without segregation

Claim passions and dislikes
Support through up’s and down’s
For higher Creativity, Connectiveness & Completeness
