Unit 1 Discussion – Introduction and Entrepreneurs

Unit 1 Discussion – Introduction and Entrepreneurs

 

Answer one of the following questions:

Entrepreneurs are not cut from the same mold, and no one set of characteristics can predict entrepreneurial tendencies or success. 

  • What is your perception of entrepreneurs in your community or in our society?  
  • Discuss the traits of an entrepreneur.
  • Who are the stakeholders that entrepreneurs have to consider when they decide to start a business and how are they important to the success of that business?

In addition to your initial posting, also please address how you will adhere to the principles of Professionalism in your professional and academic lives (in accordance with Herzing’s PRICE program: please refer to the “PRICE of Success” handout in the Syllabus tab).

I will:

  • Assume responsibility for my own actions
  • Demonstrate professional and appropriate communication skills
  • Present an appropriate professional appearance for the environment
  • Handle sensitive or difficult issues with grace and confidence

 Herzing University and Herzing College believe in the human potential and personal aspirations of each student. Based
on feedback from a crosssection of our community partners (employers, clinical sites, workforce centers), Herzing has
developed a framework of behaviors and attributes, that supports a successful and meaningful career. This framework
is called the P.R.I.C.E. of Success. In order to help each student develop and expand upon these qualities, Herzing has
created a culture where students are expected to exhibit these behaviors and attributes in all interactions, in and
outside the classroom. Herzing believes students who apply themselves and embody the P.R.I.C.E. characteristics will be
more likely to reach their full human potential.
