Reviewing the creation stage of the business cycle, I can see within myself the ability to generate ideas and gaining the needed support to realize the idea. I’ve only been successful with what I will call minor projects, or projects of little complexity as compared to starting a new business venture. When I look at what is involved in moving a business concept from the idea stage to the launch, I can feel somewhat inept based on the lack of social capital I have at this point in my career. While I have developed contacts throughout my business career, I stumble to think of pulling in favors to launch a business initiative. While daunting, I also understand everyone is willing to take risk to some degree. If I am passionate about what I think will work, I do have the confidence my social capital (network) would expand because of the faith others have in my ability. I am hard working, conservative (to a fault?) and reliable.
With respect to what I have read with regard to the content of MBA 725, organization nature is all I have known. I’ve worked for several corporations, large and small with only one time during my career did I work with a small consulting group: 4 people! So with respect of working within an organizational compound, I am experienced and feel most comfortable; but I’ve had and have many criticisms. Mainly due to the sluggishness of adopting change due to compliancy most employees develop over time within a structured organization. I feel that corporate America is in for one hell of a shock when China (and other countries) moves past us in overall national worth. Just a matter of time, and the tired and overworked (underemployed!) American workers will be manufacturing nothing but burgers!
