...between entrepreneurship, innovation and economic development in four sections. The first section will focus on the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship. Section two will show the advantages of innovation in economic development. Section three will describe the impact of entrepreneurship on economic growth which divided into three parts: the regional, industry and global levels. The final section will concentrate on the role creativity and problem solving play in this relationship. The relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship is mutual. On the one hand, innovation is a precondition of entrepreneurship to drive entrepreneurial establishments to succeed. In order to prove this, Hitt, Ireland, Sexon and Camp (2002) point out that a successful entrepreneurial establishment cannot leave the help of essential innovation. Many innovations are produced by individual entrepreneurs; it usually takes place in large companies in developed countries. Therefore, a large amount of entrepreneurial opportunities are not able to be used by these entrepreneurs due to the entrepreneurial large companies (ibid). All in all, as entrepreneurship plays a substantial role in both performance and growth of established companies, innovation has a major impact on most companies in regional or national markets. On the other hand, entrepreneurship is an inspiration and a key process of innovation. The...

...The Problem and Its Background Introduction One of the best new developments on the web has been that of social networks. A social network is a website that allows you to connect with friends and family, share photos, videos, music and other personal information with either a select group of friends or a wider group of people, depending on the settings you select. Alternatively referred to as a virtual community or profile site, a social network is a website on the Internet that brings people together in a central location to talk, share ideas and interests, or make new friends. This type of collaboration and sharing of data is often referred to as social media. Unlike traditional media that is often created by no more than 10 people, social media sites contain content that has been created by hundreds or even millions of different people. Three of the biggest social networks used today are Facebook, Google+ and YouTube. These are great ways of making new connections with people based on similar interests or professions. The growth and popularity of online social networks has created a new world of collaboration and communication. More than a billion individuals around the world are connected and networked together to create, collaborate, and contribute their knowledge and wisdom. Facebook so far the fastest growing social network, Facebook has grown from just a college-age group network to a global, multi-age, multi-ethnic site. Hundreds of millions of people...

... row 1 Facebook 1) Facebook has brought a whole new level of personal marketing to the world of business. The social networking web site fulfills people’s desire to communicate and interact with each other and uses that power to help other companies target very specific audiences with personalized massages. The site allows users to create personal profiles with information such as their hometowns, work, educational background, favorite things, and religious affiliation. It encourages them to extend their network by adding other users as friends, and many people try to see how many “friends” they can accumulates. Facebook is fulfilling its mission to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. Person marketing is a part of direct marketing, the use of consumer-direct channels to reach and deliver goods and services to customers without using middleman, is crucial nowadays as people’s needs tend to be more specific, so in order to understand them, a one-to-one approach is becoming essential. In addition the traditional channels (such as mass media, rallies, coffee hours, spot TV ads, direct mail) can not guarantee a new and up-to-date way to be know by the audience. People around the world, also politicians and VIPs, use Facebook to push their campaigns and communicate with supporters and fan on a local, personalized basis.

...Statistics show that there are lots of stay at home moms in China and only a very small population of women in China who are taking the opportunities to receive an education and achieve their dreams because of the societal and family pressure that were placed on them from childhood. The only chance to change their fate is to marry a "high quality" husband, and this demonstrates Young's opinion of women as limited by a "physical handicap" in a society where gender roles exist and where most women have no control over their life. Meyers defines Autonomy as "Expressing the true self" and a person doing the things they want to do without being held back by rules or government. Meyers identifies several problems associated with personal autonomy and feminist theory in his article including that autonomy requires many kinds of skills, not just the things that one is born with, and therefore, autonomy is something one must accomplish instead of naturally owning. Most people are in a state of partial access of autonomy, with the best example being the people who work for their...

...Schumpeter: A guide to skiving | The Economist 10/23/14, 3:56 PM Schumpeter A guide to skiving How to thrive at work with the minimum of effort Oct 25th 2014 | From the print edition THE best way to understand a system is to look at it from the point of view of people who want to subvert it. Sensible bosses try to view their companies through the eyes of corporate raiders. Serious-minded politicians make a point of putting themselves in their opponents’ shoes. The same is true of the world of work in general: the best way to understand a company’s “human resources” is not to consult the department that bears that ugly name but to study the basic principles of one of the world’s most popular, if unrecognised, sciences: skiving. The first principle of skiving (or shirking, as Americans call it) is always to appear hard at work. This is the ancient jacket-on-the-back-of-the-chair trick: leave a coat permanently on display so that a casual observer—a CEO practising “managing by walking around”, for example—will assume that you are the first to arrive and the last to leave. The skill of skiving is subtle: ensure you are somewhere else when the work is being allocated. Successful skivers never visibly shy away from work: confronted with the inevitable they make a point of looking extremely eager. This “theatre of enthusiasm” has fooled almost everyone. Policymakers bemoan the epidemic of overwork. But as Roland Paulsen, of Sweden’s Lund University, explains...
