...Far too often have I asked myself if I was really learning in class. Am I learning for myself or am I learning for the grade in the end? Education’s goal is to fulfill people’s search of knowledge, but too much of the time there are secondary factors that play a role in how we view education and it’s motivation. The theory of rhetorical perspectivism was introduced by Hikins and Cherwitz. They formulated this notion in response to a claim that believed that discourse and rhetoric should enjoy epistemic status. Moreover, discourse shouldn’t be used informatively of insights, but rather used to discover such insights (Hikins & Cherwitz, 1983,1986). Rhetorical perspectivism aims to bridge the gap between rhetorical objectivists and rhetorical subjectivism as a work in epistemology. Objectivists think that knowledge exists first, then is discovered through discourse. Subjectivists think that knowledge is constructed by the discourse and does not exist until it is built, that is the search that creates knowledge. Perspectivists, such as Hikins and Cherwitz, come along and say that everything takes place from different contexts- meaning knowledge exists, but we see it from our lens- essentially to reconcile two seemingly contradictory ideas as ‘two sides of the same coin’. Perspectivism says ‘that reality is independent of human attitudes, beliefs, and values’. In essence, Hikins and Cherwitz’s claim says that while an independent knowledge may exist, we all see from our own context...

Stephen Moss Brewing beer and business have a number of parallels, from the fine point you have to take into consideration, to the larger end product. Table of contents Cover Page I Table of contents 1 Introduction 2 Main Body 3 Conclusion 4 There are many parallels to be made between being an entrepreneur and brewing your own beer. Every time you begin steeping your base hops in the bag, and adding each ingredient to your future batch of beer, you must consider your past successes and failures, the future planned taste, and how your customers are going to react to it. The same goes with being an entrepreneur. Every decision you make for business can have an effect for weeks and sometimes years to come. Every business decision you make is going to have an impact on your bottom line one way or another. While speaking with McClernon, owner and operator of Kinetic brewing company, he showed me that there is stress, loss, and challenge when owning and operating your own brewery. He also showed me that there is...

This report is a personal manifesto that outlines my thoughts on the topic of leadership. The topic of leadership has been debated over endlessly this year. We have discussed what the difference is between transactional and transformational leadership, the qualities of the most effective leaders, the different levels of effective leadership and the different styles of leadership. Leadership is also something that, I’m pretty sure, each Genesis participant has physically experienced on top of academically studying it throughout this year. I feel that, after this year, I am much more aware of the importance of leadership and its effect on today’s society and our economy. In the first section I will outline my interpretation of the definition and why I feel it is so important in today’s world. The next section will explore the intersection of entrepreneurship and leadership as well as the emerging importance...

...framework based on competence and obligation that will help organization to become a world-class innovator Strategy: As manager knows, resource allocation is critical to strategy and therefore needs to be an integral part of aligning innovation to strategic objectives. Management: Any top company in this world should arrange resources cleverly and needs to manage innovation efficiently; this should be the primary objective of a organization. 2. Why is entrepreneurship training considered important for engineers? In the article it states clearly why it is so significant for engineers to understand entrepreneurship training. Engineers need to be entrepreneurial in order to understand and contribute in the framework of market and business pressures. For engineers who establish organization soon after graduation, entrepreneurship education gives them concrete experience in product design and development, prototyping, technology trends, and market analysis (Nelson and Byers 2010). Entrepreneurship education teaches engineering students in all disciplines the knowledge, tools, and attitudes that are required to identify opportunities and bring...

...Three Pillars Essay Harun Murage Grand Canyon University Entrepreneurship An entrepreneur is an individual who organizes and manages any initiative, particularly a business venture, typically with substantial creativity and risk, (Bolton and Thompson, 2000) have defined an entrepreneur as “an individual who usually makes and revolutionizes to build something of recognized importance around apparent openings”. According to (Onuoha, 2007), entrepreneurship is defined as the practice of starting a new venture particularly a business in response to a spotted window of opportunities. (Lowell & Sharon, 2001) entrepreneurship is the procedure of designing, starting and running a new business, which typically begins as a small business offering a product or service for sale or hire. It’s the capacity to organize resources for a profitable venture. Entrepreneurship entails total creativity and innovation, and usually, hard work to achieve the set objectives. It could be new and different ways of doing something much better, smarter, simpler and effectively. Entrepreneurship is a drive or a spirit to inspire others in what they do and how they have succeeded in the business. Ethics Ethics means doing what is right in a responsible and accepted manner, for example, putting something back where you found it, not yelling to your colleagues, always saying sorry and so on. (Rushworth, 2009) states that "standard definitions of ethics have typically included such phrases as 'the...

...Preface/Unit Reflection I had many thoughts about my audience and the format of this essay before I started, but as I haven’t done essays in a long time (business majors usually focus on projects, not essays), I decided that I wanted to write my first project in a straightforward fashion. I feel that I need to get the rust off my writing, so to speak I chose to write to the rest of the class because 1) They will be peer reviewing it, so it’s convenient for them that they are the target audience and 2) I could express my thoughts in a straightforward fashion that my audience can relate to very well, as they are in the same position as I am. I wrote this essay as if I was writing to an intellectual friend who is also taking this class, is very interested in English and entrepreneurship, and wanted to see how the two topics coincided through the lens of genre analysis. I assumed that the reader knew the definitions of materiality, genre and genre analysis, and discourse community, as the intended reader is in this class and has done the readings. Surprisingly, I learned a lot about my field through reading and writing for this unit. I really loved the challenging readings, as it seemed as if I were “getting smarter” reading them. Pushing my brain processing abilities is great for my brain’s capabilities, which I value. As I wrote, I would constantly think of new ideas about my field, such as the materiality of online articles in an entrepreneur’s life, and think hard. I appreciate...

...THE FIELD OF RESEARCH IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP CHIRSTIAN BRUYAT ´ Universite de Grenoble, Grenoble, France ´ PIERRE-ANDRE JULIEN ` ` ´ ´ Universite du Quebec a Trois-Rivieres, ` Tros-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada Although the field of entrepreneurship is recognized as being of fundamental importance for our economy, and although many researchers throughout the world have turned their attention to it, there is, as yet, no agreement as to the research object in this scientific field. Empirical research has described the phenomenon from different standpoints. It has also shown that the phenomenon is much more complex and heterogeneous than was thought in the 1980s. However, to advance knowledge and produce tools that are useful in practice, it has become necessary to establish theories that will generate more productive empirical research. Some effort at definition is therefore needed. The definition proposed here takes a constructivist stance, and is at the service of a research project— that of understanding or forecasting the entrepreneurial act and its success or failure, and defining more accurately the environmental conditions favourable to that act. Here, the scientific object studied in the field of entrepreneurship is the dialogic between individual and new value creation, within an ongoing process and within an environment that has specific characteristics. This definition emphasizes the fact that we will not understand the phenomenon of entrepreneurship if we do not consider the...
