Thrive In A Hive - Knight, Monica

. .

Résumé :
Today's youth have become the most entrepreneurial generation since the Industrial Revolution. According to a 2009 report from the accounting and business management firm, Ernst & Young, as many as 5.6 million Americans under the age of 34 are actively trying to start their own business. Furthermore, E&Y reported that one third of new entrepreneurs are younger than 30 and more than 60% of people 18-29 years of age stated they want to own their own businesses. With these explosive numbers comes a similar interest in the field and demand for entrepreneurship education. Business educators have evolved beyond the myth that entrepreneurs are born, not made and even have embraced the idea that enterprise education should focus beyond only developing entrepreneurs. This book supports teachers in the classroom as they introduce entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship (cooperation and interdependence). Thrive in a Hive explores the case for experiential learning and includes a series of fun and inspiring exercises designed to nurture an enterprise culture in your students, your organization, your community, and yourself. The exercises are designed to form an effective blend of both the science (business and management competencies) and the art (creative and innovative thinking) of entrepreneurship/intrapreneurship.
