entrepreneurialmindset in our young people.1.2 – Fostering an Entrepreneurial MindsetCompanies that compete on innovation are led by people who have an entrepreneurial mindset.An entrepreneurial mindset is built on three primary behaviors: 1) seeking opportunities to solveproblems in the company, for its customers, and its community, 2) focusing on creating value forcustomers and the community, and 3) engaging the marketplace by being in contact withcustomers, suppliers, universities and the community. An entrepreneurial mindset providesinspiration and identity for a firm and its employees (Figure 1). It creates an entrepreneurialculture, encouraging a continuum of activity that is fundamental to helping firms be innovative.Figure 1: Key Components of an
