Getting Started as an Entrepreneur/Opportunity/The Idea Factory - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks. The Idea Factory[edit] Brainstorming[edit] The starting point of any entrepreneurial venture, social or otherwise, is the idea. In many ways, the quality of your idea determines the success of your venture. So how do you come up with a good one? One way to jumpstart your mind and get thinking creatively is by brainstorming. Brainstorming is probably the best-known creative tool. Rules for group brainstorming[edit] Assuming that you're working as part of a team, we start you off here with a how-to guide on brainstorming together. Choose a leader who defines the problem and keeps the session on course, discouraging evaluation of the ideas and limiting the time used.Make sure the participants are diverse.Make the session fun, welcoming wildly impractical ideas along with practical ones.Spark off one another's ideas with new ideas.Keep some record of the session.
Brainstorming has its limitations: it should only be used for generating new ideas and solutions, not for decision-making. 1. 2. 3.

Seizing the Promise of Social Entrepreneurship by Maximilian Martin (CH) University of St. Gallen2005 Viewpoints, pp. 36-43, 2005 Abstract: This paper argues that social entrepreneurs have a role to play in turning the tide on global issues as exemplified by the Millennium Development Goals, where innovative entrepreneurship interventions are critical. The paper introduces the "individualist" and the "contextualist" schools of social entrepreneurship.
The former focuses on the traits that differentiate social entrepreneurs from other social agents, and the latter emphasizing the relationship between the phenomenon of globalization and the emergence of social entrepreneurship as a frame of reference. Subsequently, the paper examines where social entrepreneurship interventions have comparative advantage, and how the diffusion of their innovations can be accelerated.
