…..if I were 100% confident that what I would learn would guaranteemy ability to successfully start and grow my own business, or get a great job in someone else’s.
UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE? Do both without compromise
…if I was 100% confident that what I would learn was not available outside of a university, that my learning experience would be deep, challenging, and intellectually stimulating and so prove valuable in life and work.

Being ‘Enterprising’ An accolade applied to someone who has achieved ‘good’
through their own initiative.
Given by the person(s) experiencing the benefits of the enterprising
act, and/or an observer of the act’s positive impact.
Becomes part of a social identity if repeated (entrepreneur, MBE?).
Only given following success—not for failure.
Initiative taking, and positive result, both come as a pleasant surprise.
If the ‘good’ was achieved through novel means, beneficiaries and
observers might even be astonished.
Being ‘Enterprising’
Being enterprising is a social act.
An Enterprise emerges from an innate desire to achieve common good.*
Business is not about profit, but doing good.*
Employees (inc managers) thrive on the joy of achieving good.*
THIS PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH IS PRACTICAL, ETHICAL, MORAL, SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.
**Honda Motor Company (1997) –cited Nonaka and Toyoma (2007)., Marcia-Anne Dobres Social Technology, (2000)
To Promote Student Enterprise Encourage and support the taking of initiative by students
Create opportunities for students to engage in initiative taking
Encourage students to seek and accept responsibility for the results of their initiative taking—to be aware of and shoulder risk.
Help students appreciate the need to know the proposed recipient of good (customers).
Doing good is a social service.
Doing good is a social process, often a joint enterprise needing
to be organised, coordinated, MANAGED.
Do the same for the University’s employees?
A ‘good’ result. Creating satisfaction, delight, happiness.
Removing dissatisfaction, unhappiness, sources of frustration.
Removing obstacles to others achieving good.
Making improvements.
Solving problems by designing and implementing solutions.
