Three easily confused concepts
• Enterprise – having an idea, and taking advantage of the opportunities to make things happen
• Entrepreneurship – an activity which leads to the creation and management of a new organisation designed to pursue a unique, innovative opportunity (Hindle & Rushworth, 2000)
• Intrapreneurs are "dreamers who do," those who take hands-on responsibility for creating innovation of any kind within an organization’. (Pinchot 1999)
• It’s not about starting a business – its about developing better students
