Introduction to entrepreneurship/BMAN111/Nature/Video signpost

In this section, we will reflect on what it means to be an entrepreneur, drawing on experience in the real business world.

We meet three entrepreneurs, one from America and two from Africa.


 * 1) The American businessman shares twelve mistakes he made in his first year as an entrepreneur.
 * 2) We then introduce two businesses lead by South African entrepreneurs to begin thinking about different business contexts.
 * 3) We conclude with an open discussion to explore whether the lessons learned in America can be transferred to contexts in other countries and invite learners to share ideas for avoiding start-up mistakes in their own context.
