Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity beyond resources controlled
(Howard Stevenson)
“Pursuit” implies a singular, relentless focus “Opportunity” implies an offering that is novel in one or more of four ways.
1) pioneering a truly innova;ve product; 2) devising a new business model; 3) crea;ng a beGer or cheaper version of an exis;ng product; or 4) targe;ng an exis;ng product to new sets of customers
“Beyond resources controlled” implies resource constraints.

What is Technology Entrepreneurship ?
"crea;on of the venture that capitalizes on technological changes and that will have a significant impact on a region, a na;on, or the world. A new regula;on or clever financial restructuring may afford the entrepreneur a new opportunity, but a radical or transforming innova;on may provide the entrepreneur with an important opportunity to make a produc;ve and significant contribu;on to the world as we know it."

In his book “Experience and Nature” John Dewey draw aGen;on to primary and secondary experience and importance of interac7on between two of them. Primary is one with “minimum of incidental reflec7on” while secondary is described as “what is experienced in consequence of con7nued and regulated reflec7ve inquiry...experienced only because of the interven7on of systema7c thinking”. He ques;oned role of the objects and their rela;onship, proposing that secondary objects “get the meaning contained in a whole system of related objects; they are rendered con7nuous with the rest of nature and take on the import of the things they are now seen to be con7nuous with”.

Solution ? • intra-‐personal dimension of sustainability;
– thrivability within oneself; • inter-‐personal dimension of sustainability;
– thrivability with one’s communi;es and social systems; • trans-‐species dimension of sustainability;
– thrivability with the more than human world; • trans-‐genera;onal dimension of sustainability;
– thrivability with past and future genera;ons of all beings.

Intra-‐personal Who am I and what is mylife’s purpose? What are my talents? To what do I feel called to contribute? What brings meaning to my life? What supports my personal development?
Inter-‐personal What common cares bring us together? What is our shared vision? How do we want to contribute to the flourishing of life forever? Who are our partners and collaborators? What do we need to learn? What do we want to create? What is our value proposi;on or unique contribu;on to all our stakeholders? What affirms our values, iden;ty, and culture?
Trans-‐species What gius do we receive from nature that we have not acknowledged? What rela;onships and connec;ons need to be restored? How can we contribute to the regenera;on of our ecosystems? What would a thriving rela;onship with nature look like?
Trans-‐genera;onal What would our ancestors think of our work and life? What would our children’s children think of our choices? How do we honor our past and create our future inten;onally? How do we become ac;ve and conscious par;cipants in the unfolding of life?

Conversation about • Exprience
– i.e. should university research units capture research results and transform them to value for the customers
• Teaching perspectives – different frameworks, – transmission (subject content transmission), – apprenticeship (behavioral norms and way of working), – development (from the learner’s point of view), – nurturing (achievements comes from the heart, not head), – and social reform (the impact on society)
• Challenges – when teaching entrepreneurship to engineers.
• Assessment methods – perform in terms of financial and business results – how they understand the body of knowledge – how they behave and adapt in a real business environment, – decision-making processes?
