The ability toformulate a problem with pencil and paper to large and small scales then ably see the big picturebeyond the computer color contour or spreadsheets and small monitor screens has alreadyresulted in tragic consequences. In his book, “Engineering in the Mind‟s Eye,” Eugene Fergusondiscusses such instances have already resulted in major problems. Due to the over-computerization, the judgment of engineers has become compromised. Ferguson cites thefollowing in this work: “Despite the enormous amounts of effort and treasure that have beenpoured into creating analytical tools to add rigor and precision to the design of complex systems,a paradox remains.

What does remain is the lingering argument that much of what is appliedin the process of entrepreneurship includes material that overlaps in other courses. In the earlydays, a number of large universities claimed that the functions of management – planning,organizing, controlling- are very much evident in entrepreneurship and need not be treated as auniquely different discipline. The debate did not recognize two critically important features of anentrepreneur: The role of creativity in entrepreneurship, whereby the new concept, invention andinnovation that literally takes charge of the entrepreneur.
