The new realities in the business world have caused a revolution in thinking with respect to developing entrepreneurship programs

Page 18: SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS DONALD R. ANDREWS, PH.D., DEAN

What is entrepreneurship?

Creative Destruction Joseph Schumpeter

The Breakthrough definition:“Identifying an opportunity regardless of the resources currently

available.”

Babson definitional (r)evolution:“A way of thinking and acting that is opportunity obsessed,

holistic in approach and leadership balanced.”

Entrepreneurship is the use of innovative thinking to develop new products, services and processes that lead to the creation of wealth for individuals and society (Donald R. Andrews SEE 20 2004)

Page 19: SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS DONALD R. ANDREWS, PH.D., DEAN

The Entrepreneurial Process

The entrepreneurial process will create a better world. It’s not just about new company, capital, and job formation, nor innovation, nor creativity, nor breakthroughs. It is also about fostering an ingenious human spirit and improving humankind.

Jeffry A. Timmons, 1996

FACULTY RESOURCE CONCERNS*

One of the major concerns in the development of entrepreneurship programs is the availability of academically qualified faculty to teach entrepreneurship courses.

Faculty must have a combination of the academic qualifications and the experience of being a seasoned entrepreneur to give the program credibility. Many schools have developed a team teaching format to deal with the faculty qualifications issue.

Babson College and other programs use both academically qualified faculty with Ph.D.s and highly successful entrepreneurs.

The key issue seems to be one of attracting the faculty resources that can provide the correct balance between academic and practical experience in the field of entrepreneurship.

*Have traditionally developed majors for the major corporations not the start-up firms.

Societies that keep their values alive do so not by escaping the processes of decay

but by powerful processes of regeneration… Each generation must

rediscover the living elements of its own tradition and adapt them to present

realities. To assist in this discovery is one of the tasks of leadership.

SU BeginningsORIGINAL MISSION

To make a way for all deserving students to attend college.

1879 - Movement to create a university for ‘persons of color’ initiated during the Louisiana State Constitutional Convention by P.B.S. Pinchback, T.T. Allain, T.B. Stamps, and Henry Demas.

1883 - Admitted its first 12 students.

1890 - Recognized by federal government as a land grant college.

1914 – Relocated from its original location in New Orleans, Louisiana to the state’s capital, Baton Rouge.

Page 26: SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS DONALD R. ANDREWS, PH.D., DEAN

Scott’s Bluff – A Rich History Southern University sits on Scott’s

Bluff along the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge

The French words bâton rouge mean "red stick" in English. In 1699, French explorer Sieur d'Iberville led an exploration party of about 200 up the Mississippi River.

On March 17th on a bluff on the east bank of the river (on what is now the campus of Southern University), they saw a reddish cypress pole festooned with bloody animal and fish heads, which they learned was a boundary marker between the hunting territories of the Bayougoula and the Houma tribes.

LeadershipAmbassador James Joseph “[In elaborating on what ‘leadership as a way of

being’ means, it is] helpful to share with you the insights that come out of my own experience. If I were to sum them up, I would identify twelve:

It is possible for a leader to be humble without being docile, strong without being arrogant and still exert great influence;

Leaders who seek power to disperse it rather than simply concentrate it have a very special attraction and appeal;

The leader must be capable of learning from those he/she leads and must be capable of doing so without losing respect or

influence;

Page 40: SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS DONALD R. ANDREWS, PH.D., DEAN

LeadershipAmbassador James Joseph The value-driven leader who needs consensus in order to act

is likely to be most effective if he/she is willing to help shape that consensus rather than simply responding to it where it can be found;

The leadership style that works best for me is leadership that seeks to elevate and empower others. It seeks to engage the whole person in ways that satisfy higher and nobler needs;

Despite the continuing dominance of hard power – economic muscle and military might – in exerting influence and pressing one’s will on others, I have found that soft power – moral messages, exemplar behavior and respect for other cultures – is likely to develop goodwill and establish relationships that

are far more enduring.

Page 41: SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS DONALD R. ANDREWS, PH.D., DEAN

LeadershipAmbassador James Joseph Leadership is likely to be far more effective when it appeals

to people’s better nature;

While we seek to change the practices of the adversary, it is important that we maintain respect for his/her humanity;

In times of rapid change, zealots emerge claiming one truth and one theology. The challenge for the leader is not to use his/her values to proclaim absolutes but to help others cope with ambiguities;

An organization is what it rewards. It is not so much what it says in its mission statement, or even its code of conduct, as it is what it rewards its people for being.

Page 42: SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS DONALD R. ANDREWS, PH.D., DEAN

LeadershipAmbassador James Joseph There are no hard and fixed absolutes about either

managing or leading. To be rigid and play only by the rules on your organization chart or the theories of some guru is to miss the opportunity to meet people where they are. People-centered leadership recognizes the uniqueness of each individual and seeks to unleash the magic within.

Every leader does not have to be a superstar. Many

apparently ordinary people are quiet leaders who make extraordinary contributions. They may not be seen as giants in the grand scheme of things, but the superstar could not

accomplish any thing without them.

Sharing the Lead “Magicizing” Our goal with both our customers and our partners is

to serve their needs so that we can thrive together.

In our partnerships and joint ventures, I study the details of each business with the intention of adding value by providing expertise on wants and needs of urban and rural minorities.

Small details add up to big sales. Today’s entrepreneurial business leaders have to be able to listen to their team members and make adjustments when they make sense.
