was discussed and adjusted. To compensate for a lack of an item describing“associational thinking” in the original Dyer scale, two additional statements were developed todescribe this construct.Finally, to convert the modified behavioral statements from an agree-disagree scale into a self-efficacy measure, the scale instructions were adjusted to reflect a self-efficacy intent (“Pleasethink about how confident you are in your ability to do these activities”). A comparison of theoriginal Dyer et al. IBS behavioral items and the restated ISE.5 self-efficacy items is shown inAppendix A.4.0 MethodsThe validity and reliability of the ISE.5 measure was confirmed through three studies. Study 1outlines the process of evolving the Dyer et al. scale

above the neutral response of 3.0, which indicates that students felt that thesemodules had a positive impact in both the short and long term. The highest ratings came from theimportance of developing an elevator pitch, while the lowest ratings, including the only ratingamong this group below the neutral response, involved participation in the business competition.The higher ratings associated with developing an elevator pitch could again be due to thestudents’ higher level of comfort with oral presentations. The lower ratings associated with thebusiness competition do not reflect the student self-assessment of learning outcomes, and theseratings seem to depend heavily on whether the students advanced past the initial paperwork-onlyround of the

hierarchy, which is the collection ofall decision alternatives.The final step in the AHP is to establish the total global score. This is done by combining thenormalized local priority weights of the alternatives, sub-criteria and criteria levels throughsuccessive multiplication. That is, the weights at the lowest level are multiplied with respect toall successive upper levels in the hierarchy. The new composite weights are normalized; themagnitude indicates the relative preference of the decision alternative. The decision alternativethat receives the highest value reflects the optimal alternative.Every step in the AHP process can involve a group of decision makers. Each of the stakeholderscan select the objective, the decision criteria and the

challenge the status quo.Primary Traits: A passing submission for this criterion must: 1. Describe the situation or current mode of operation (status quo) and perceived constraints. 2. Present one or more questions that challenge the status quo. 3. Explain how each question is a challenge to the status quo.Potential Artifacts: reflective essay, blog, journal, presentationAdditional Information: 1. Common approaches to this type of questioning include asking “Why?”, “Why not?”, and “What if?” For example, “Why is program accreditation done every six years?” 2. It can be helpful to imagine an opposing situation or viewpoint. For example, “What if program accreditation was done by employers rather than agencies

While each of the three sites requires a full day or more toexplore, the students used self-guided itineraries focused on innovation and developed by TheHenry Ford to allow efficient exploration in the single day format. The itineraries guide studentsto key attractions and include questions and reflections. The Henry Ford Museum includes areasfocused on “Made in America – Manufacturing and

This obviously affects how social entrepreneurs perceive and assess opportunities. Mission-related impact becomes the central criterion, not wealth creation. Wealth is just a means to an end for social entrepreneurs.” … “It is inherently difficult to measure social value creation. How much social value is created by reducing pollution in a given stream, by saving the spotted owl, or by providing companionship to the elderly? The calculations are not only hard but also contentious. Even when improvements can be measured

style: Sufficiency of Originality, Efficiency, and Rule/GroupConformity. These sub-factors are also normally distributed within the following theoreticalranges: SO (13–65), E (7–35), and R/G (12–60) [26, 27]. Sufficiency of Originality (SO)highlights differences between individuals in their preferred ways of generating and choosingideas. The more adaptive tend to generate more highly detailed ideas that remain more closelyconnected to the original constraints of a problem, while more innovative individuals tend togenerate ideas that challenge the problem definition and constraints. Efficiency (E) reflects anindividual’s preferred methods for managing and organizing ideas as they solve problems. Themore adaptive prefer to define problems and
