What did we learn?

TEAMS:TEAMS:

Intra/Entrepreneurship• Intrapreneur: "a person within a large corporation who takes

direct responsibility for turning an idea into a profitable finished product through assertive risk-taking and innovation".

• Entrepreneur as “the partner of the inventor – as a businessperson who recognizes the value of an invention, determines how to adapt it to the preferences of prospective users and brings the invention to market and promotes it utilization.”

• Intra/Entrepreneur’s three core tasks: – (1) coming up with a new combination, – (2) getting ‘buy-in’ for that combination, and – (3) demonstrating that the new combination does what the

entrepreneur indeed said it would.

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES• Experience opportunities for creativity:

– Determining the number and types of coins carried; regarding the coins as dead weight or as balancing counterweights that enhance the aircraft’s performance.

– Design• Experience ambiguity inherent in innovating, especially for emerging

markets:– Inherent in lack of detail about use of tape and glue, weight of the paper stock,

harvesting of knowledge from other sources.• Engage opportunities for learning from:

– Each other– Existing knowledge provided by airplane-related websites– Existing designs on display– Actual planes being flown

• Experience delicate balance between “creative exploitation” of ambiguities and transgressing lines of ethical conduct.

LESSONS

• Creativity in product design• Selling the design• Deciding how to invest• When people buy your product• The experience of product validation• Generalizing beyond the classroom• Risk-based learning
