In Chapter 11 your textbook differentiates between a small business owner and an entrepreneur offering that the main difference is the focus on innovation. Expand on this or other differences between a business owner and an entrepreneur and then dig deeper into the importance of global innovation using insights gained from your readings in Chapter 13. What does the Bible say about entrepreneurship? Are there any examples of entrepreneurship in Scripture?

Research the term “born global firm” and further demonstrate your grasp of the material by providing a recent (within the last 3-5 years) example of a successful born global company and discuss the role that innovation or entrepreneurship did or did not play in that success.

The typical weekly dialogue schedule for online students consists of one initial (200-300 words) due by Thursday at 11:59 pm ET and two (125-200 word) response posts due by Sunday at 11:59 pm ET. The initial dialogue should focus directly on the posed discussion question.  Utilize the required readings as a base, cite appropriate examples/principles from the texts, and include a minimum of two academic peer-reviewed scholarly articles outside of the textbook that bring depth and insight to the dialogue. The intent relates to expanding the knowledge base of the class and providing additional resources to fellow classmates. 

Following the initial post, the first response continues in an academic nature by providing at least one scholarly reference in the reply that again brings additional insights and depth to the discussion. 

The second response allows for a time of reflection–describe what you gained from reading another student’s initial post, extra references or research are not expected for the second reply.
