While I agree with the typologies of entrepreneurship highlighted in the blog, there are a couple of other considerations in my view - first on entrepreneurship and the other on its close cousin intrapreneneurship! Regardless of the scalar or vector approach, some of them will fail and hence a support system that provides for 'bounce back' is critical to ensure both personal and social sustainability of entrepreneurship oriented growth trajectory. A deep-rooted culture that is sophisticated enough to tell the difference between a failed venture and a failed person is a prerequisite for continued success of would-be entrepreneurs. In addition to encouraging entrepreneurs, corporations large and small will need to mentor and grow intrapreneurs as well - employees who exhibit ownership and "belonging" to their chosen firm and have the talent and passion to contribute to its potentially non-linear growth. As Richard Branson recently commented on this topic, CEOs who view their roles as Chief Enabling Officers stand to gain the most in transforming their organizations with the support of committed intrapreneurs to achieve growth rates of 10% or more to help propel India to greater heights in the years to come.Narayananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795521262546415260noreply@blogger.com
