Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a process through which individuals and groups pursue solutions to needs, problems, or challenges, by seizing opportunities, leveraging resources, and initiating change that creates value. The promoted solution usually includes the introduction of new ideas, goals, services or practices that require innovation and risk to implement. Entrepreneurs apply innovation, creativity, vision, passion, and leadership of others to address the challenge before them. Social value focused entrepreneurship emphasizes social innovation through entrepreneurial solutions. These actions often blur the traditional boundaries between the public, private and non-profit sectors, and emphasize hybrid models of for-profit and nonprofit activities.
Vision
To be a recognized leader in transforming those with entrepreneurial spirit into leaders of successful social value creating enterprises in both not for profit and for profit arenas.
