Hello Buisness Bloggers!
After reading chapter 5 in our textbook I have a better understanding of innovation. This was probably my most favorite chapter in the book. Like in my previous weekly reading reflections there is nothing that I disagreed with about the Kuratko's work. If I could ask Kuratko something it would be what his best way to look for innovative opportunities is and what was his most innovative opportunity. The most confusing part of this chapter was when Kuratko discusses how our brain processes.

Customer Interviews No. 1
Hello Business Bloggers! This week I found a campus community problem and interviewed random people on this issue.
Opportunity: Better Parking
~I believe parking is a huge problem on campus at University of Florida that has potential to be fixed due to the amount of students affected by this issue. Most students are affected by parking or know of someone who is affected by parking on campus.
~ So I interviewed University of Florida students because I felt that they were the most affected by parking on campus. I didn't interview faculty members because most if not all of the limited parking space goes to them. I understand that it is important to have parking for teachers and employees but students parking needs should not be ignored. Students have close to none parking spaces on campus.
~ I came up with a list of questions that I think would suit any random student I asked. Here are the videos of my interview.
- Do you own a car on campus?
- Would you say parking on campus is a hassle?
- on average how many classes do you miss a week?
- Do you think you would miss less classes if parking on campus was easier?
- Does parking restrict you from doing anything you would normally do?
- Would you pay for better parking on campus?
Interview #1:
~I was very nervous about interviewing customers. I could tell the interviewees were also nervous. However, after the third customer I was comfortable in asking question and I even tailored my questions specifically to whether a student owned a car or not. For example: If a student didn't own a car I asked if they knew anyone that was having trouble with parking. My questions were becoming better suiting to each person.

Top 5 World Problems
Hello Bloggers!
Last Week I listed what I believe to be 10 of our world biggest problems and possible solutions. Today from that list I will pick 5 problems from the list which I believe to be the most crucial and list them from most serious to least serious.
Here is that list:
Here is my list of top 5 solutions:
In my first list, I ranked hunger as my first problem because I think it needs to be addressed first. People are dying of hunger across the globe however countries like the U.S have an abundance of food. In fact the U.S has a problem of obesity, people in this country are eating too much food. For this reason, I put hunger as my easiest solution to implement.
I ranked terrorism my second because it continues to scare the world and fear can be detrimental. Though it was second on my first list, it is the hardest to implement. Terrorism is the result of groups of extremist who want to eliminate or hurt others. Finding these extremist groups and crushing them is hard (if it was easy we wouldn't have a problem).
Global Warming is third of my top 5 world problems list because it is so important but hunger and terrorism are current world issues ranked higher in my view. Global Warming was fourth on my list of possible to implement solutions because finding a cheap solution to global warming is extremely difficult and will take time.
Education is very important but drive to educate the world is already in place by organizations like the peace corps which is why it is second on my possible to implement list.
Animal extinction was last on my top 5 world problems not because it isn't important because it is but I found hunger and terrorism to be more urgent. And finding a solution to animal extinction was high on my implementation list because a simple law from the United Nations could impact immensely animal species.
Last Week I listed what I believe to be 10 of our world biggest problems and possible solutions. Today from that list I will pick 5 problems from the list which I believe to be the most crucial and list them from most serious to least serious.
Here is that list:
- HUNGER
- TERRORISM
- GLOBAL WARMING
- EDUCATION
- ANIMAL EXTINCTION
Here is my list of top 5 solutions:
- I think a practical implementation for hunger would be to take excess food that countries like the U.S don't use and send it to countries in need.
- For education, if more people and organizations continue to teach children of low-income families this could possibly be a solution.
- If the United Nations worked to form a ban an endangered animal hunting, the percentage of animals becoming extinct could decline.
- A good solution for global warming is artificial photosynthesis. Researchers at MIT have created an artificial plant that uses sunlight to create energy. This energy could potentially fuel our cars and planes etc.
- Controlling terrorism would probably be the hardest to implement. A solution could be to ban bombs and guns outside governmental authority.

Week 3 Reading Reflection
Today I will talk about Chapter 2, The Entrepreneurial Mind-Set in Individuals, in Kuratko's book Entrepreneurship: Theory, Process, and Practice. I really enjoyed this chapter. I didn't really know what to expect from this chapter. I assumed it would be about entrepreneurs. Specifically, I liked that Kuratko decided to attempt to describe some of the characteristics that entrepreneurs posses, this surprised me. Here are my favorite characteristics of entrepreneurs : commitment, determination, and perseverance, tolerance for ambiguity, creativity and innovativeness, and independence.
In addition to characteristics of entrepreneurs, Kuratko discusses sources of research on entrepreneurs. Though Kuratko listed a bunch of good sources like journals and conferences, I think he missed an important resources; movies. I would like to ask Kuratko what he thinks of entrepreneur movies like The Social Network or Steve Jobs. Furthermore I would like to ask Kuratko if he thinks it is a worthy source of research on entrepreneurship. In my opinion I definitely think so. I learn more visually.
Though I don't disagree with anything Kuratko wrote, I did find something confusing. The confusing element of this chapter was the dark side of entrepreneurship. I understand that entrepreneurs are risk takers and that a business venture can be detrimental but I was confused on the Typology of Entrepreneurial Styles. I didn't understand how it was configured. I would have liked the Kurtako to go more in-depth on the typology possibly 2 examples of this in the real world. Overall I really likes this chapter and am excited to read more about what Kuratko has to say on entrepreneurs.

Very Short Interview No.1
Hello bloggers!
Today I will write about an interview I had with an entrepreneur named Mansour Mansour, founder of Javna company in Jordan. In the interview I asked him 3 questions, but before I get into the interview I want to tell you a little bit about Mr Mansour. Born in Kuwait, Mr Mansour traveled to the United States to college. Attending University of Wisconsin he majored in computer and electrical engineering. He founded Javna in 2001 and his company specializes in wireless software products. Javna has become a global company and continues to move forward.
In my interview with Mansour Mansour I asked him a total of 3 question.
1) The first question I asked him was: What does it mean to be an entrepreneur to you? Mr Mansour answered " Independence... the ability to work on my own. To work under my own theory...to set my own protocols and goals...to make the money I want to make."
2) The second question I asked was : What do you think an entrepreneur class should teach students? His answer: " The ability to sell themselves. In another words: I can't sell a business unless I sell myself. You have to have the ability to sell yourself."
3) My last question to Mr Mansour was: What was the most surprising entrepreneurial task you have had to deal with in your career? His answer: "There is two things. One is the ability to make the sale. Sale is a relative term. It could be a product or a service. The second thing is employees. Getting the employee to do exactly what you want them to do. Sometimes they don't do what you want them to do. It could be a good outcome or bad outcome."
Reflection: I found this assignment most interesting to me. It is very nice to speak with a real entrepreneur and listen to what he had to say. The most difficult part of this assignment was probably finding an entrepreneur who is able to take a part of their day to talk to you. I was lucky to find Mr Mansour. I learned from this assignment what the real triumphs and struggles of an entrepreneur are. I never thought about what it would be like to hire employees and have to dictate to them what you would like them to do.

Worlds Biggest Problems
1) Hunger. I believe hunger is one of earth's biggest problems. It is 2016 and we still hear about homeless people dying of hunger and ads on T.V stating "every six seconds a child dies of hunger". Even in the U.S which is one of the richest countries in the world their is still the problem of starving citizens. The United Nations World Food Programme provides the world with Hunger Statistics every year. In their most recent Hunger Statistic they state, "Some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth." I think a practical implementation would be to take excess food that countries like the U.S don't use and send it to countries in need.
2) Another big problem earth has yet to solve is global warming. Global Warming has become increasingly alarming. Due to fossil fuels harming our ozone layer earth is becoming warmer and warmer. A good solution for global warming is artificial photosynthesis. Researchers at MIT have created an artificial plant that uses sunlight to create energy. This energy could potentially fuel our cars and planes etc.
3) I find college tuition a big global situation. College tuition is very expensive and not ideal for the average person. Many people find it very hard to survive adequately throughout their college years. It is very hard to find a solution to this problem since expenses must be paid to the college for teachers, fees, and fines.
4) Another big problem an Earth is animal endangerment. There are many companies (like Ivory Ella for example) that promote clothes for good causes ( in Ivory Ella's case saving the Elephants) because animals are being hunted and killed to extinction. Ivory Ella has donated 285,000 to saving elephants who have become an endangered species. Ivory Ella is just one example of organizations that exist to save animals. I think a great solution would be for a ban an animal hunting.
5) Going back to education, I think one of Earth's biggest problem is educating people. Many people go their whole lives without knowing how to write and read. This may seem unbelievable but something that many people don't know is that many people still lack education. I think there are many organizations that try to diminish this problem like Peace Corps and Teach for America. My neighbor back home joined the Peace Corps after college. She was sent to Kenya where she taught kids how to read and write. I feel that more organizations like these are a create solution to this problem.
6) Though this problem is probably the most recent and hasn't been discussed much I believe consumerism is a big problem today. People today have been breaded to fuel this need to continuously shop. The U.S even has a day dedicated to shopping: Black Friday. Though I am part of this consumerism trend and am found guilty I recognize this problem in today's world. I think a solution could be raise prices.
7) Another big problem on Earth is terrorism. I see this problem growing. Not to long ago terrorism was at its peak on 9/11 when the world watched on national television the World Trade Center go down. So many lives where lost that day and continue to be lost every day because of terrorism. We continue to fight a battle with terrorism. I believe the United Nations along with treaties will be an end to terrorism.
8) Though many people are deprived of food many are not. With that said I believe obesity is a growing world problem. In the United States alone 1 out of every 3 people is over weight. The only solution I see to this is diet and exercise (possibly a ban on junk food).
9) I think racism is a big problem today. All over the world we hear racial incidents that lead to mass shooting. In the U.S alone so many cases have been broadcasted on the news. More often than not it is of a white cop who killed a man of black color. Through education I feel that this problem could be solved.
10) My last world problem is crime. Crime takes place every day, every second all over the world. I have probably been stolen from more than I would like to believe. My purse has been stolen from at the airport and my car window has been broken into. These are just a few of the ones I can remember. It is very hard to stop crime. More laws could be in place for those who steel. Harsher laws and harsher punishments for those who steel could be an effective way to diminish crime.

Week 2 Reading Reflection
In this blog post I will reflect on my reading from chapter 1. This chapter discusses entrepreneurship and how it came to be. What surprised me and what I liked the most in this chapter but did not expect are the 10 myths of entrepreneurship. I like that in the first chapter Kuratko put myths about entrepreneurs to rest. The myth that seemed the most outrageous and nonintellectual is "Entrepreneurs Are Doers, Not Thinkers".( Kuratko 5) It is absurd to say that entrepreneurs don't think because if anything they think more than the average person. However it saddens me to say that I have heard that phrase more often than not.
Though I don't disagree with anything Kuratko wrote, I found it confusing when author Kuratko gave a definition for entrepreneurship by Robert C. Ronstadt. In Ronstadt's definition he mentions that "Entrepreneurship is the dynamic process of creating incremental wealth". What I am confused about is why Ronstadt believes entrepreneurs base their desire for creating innovative products after money. If I where to ask the author a question it would why he believed this was a good definition of entrepreneurs. Though it might be naive of me to think that entrepreneurs base their creations off of wanting to do good for the world, it is what I believe. Take for example Akon created a company that puts light poles powered by solar panels in Africa. Akon is considered an entrepreneur after creating his company Solektra INT. If I could I would like to ask Kuratko if he knew of Akon and his company and if he believes he is a good example of an entrepreneur.

I realized that I have so many little knacks that bother me. It is entrepreneurs who take knacks and turn them into a product that makes our lives easier. I hope to one day cross one or two of my bugs off my list.

Introduction
In this blog post I will write some information so that we can get acquainted. My name is Andrea Gennaro, I am 19 years old and I am a sophomore at the University of Florida. I hope to graduate in General Business Administration. I have a sister that also attends University of Florida and is graduating this spring. I will get to attend my first UF graduation and I am so excited. My sister, Daniella, is my only other sibling. She and I are really close since we grew up close in age(specifically 2 years apart). Daniella is president of WSA also known as Women's Student Association on campus. My sister is very involved in the Heavner business school on campus and I am known as mini Dani.
Together we have traveled several times to Bogota, Colombia where my mom was born and raised. When my mom was 17 years old she applied to University of Miami ( where she is an alumni) and moved to the United States. My dad moved down from Ohio where he was born and raised and met my mom in Miami. I have a very unique set of parents and I couldn't be happier! Attached is a picture of my sister who will be graduating this spring.

My Entrepreneurship Story
Growing up I have lived with an entrepreneurship father who has started two successful companies. My dad always told me he never liked working under someone, instead he liked to be the boss. For some people the security of working for a company is better than venturing off on your own. For others like my father, they see only one route: entrepreneurship. From growing up with my dad, I can vouch that it hasn't been an easy route. Without going to college he began his first company which specialized in cardio balloon catheters. For those who don't know much about the medical field (like me) these machines are used for someone who is going into cardio arrest and needs life support. My dad got lucky. In the 1990's his business was booming. He was doing so well I never got to see him. I would go months without his presence. One of my all time favorite movies is the Devil Wears Prada. If any of you are obsessed about it as I am and have memorized all the lines, you'll know this quote I'm about to write. One of the main characters Nigel speaks to Andy "Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. Means it's time for a promotion."
After running his first company he started a second that specializes in digital medical files though it is successful he is able to stay at home much more than he was before and he enjoys it. He truly has succeed in providing for himself and his family was sticking to his dream of being an entrepreneur. I could not be prouder.
I enrolled in ENT3003 because I have the hope it will teach me valuable lessons about entrepreneurship that I can use when I leave University of Florida. I hope to be able to see what my dad saw in it and take that into my career when I decide to. Attached is a photo of my dad and I. Hope you enjoyed this blog posts and can't wait to write to you later. Your Floridan Beauty Blogger!
