4. DEFINITIONS Enterprise focuses upon the development of the enterprising mindset through a demonstration of enterprising skills, behaviours and attitudes. These include intuitive decision making, the capacity to make things happen autonomously, networking, initiative taking, opportunity identification, creative problem solving, strategic thinking, and self efficacy. The focus is on creating ways of doing, thinking, feeling, communicating, organising and learning. Entrepreneurship focuses upon the application of these enterprising skills in setting up a new venture, developing/growing an existing venture or designing an entrepreneurial organisation. The context might be business, social enterprise, charitable purpose, non-governmental organisations or public sector bodies. Entrepreneurship ‘makes it happen’. Innovation is the product of Entrepreneurship . Innovation is defined as creating and exploiting opportunities for new ways of doing things resulting in better products and services, systems and ways of managing people and organisations. The successful pursuit of innovation is a function of individual enterprising endeavour and entrepreneurial organisation capacity. You can’t have Innovation without Entrepreneurship.
