Humans Being Organizations

Entrepreneurial learning. Organizational Behavior.

I look at these two subjects of our OBTC 2008 and ask myself to see a connection worth blogging about.

Entrepreneurial organizations. Are these not what act in the economy to change ways business happens in society?

Starbucks was an entrepreneurial organization. They changed the reason we go out for coffee. Southwest Airlines made cheaper flights work. Babson College is changing how undergraduates learn business.

We need entrepreneurial organizations in business and government to keep a green, growing edge on our lifetimes on Earth.

Organizations really don't behave, do they? Humans being organizations behave. They behave in the ways they believe that must act to manifest what they want to comeout the work they do together. Therefore, humans being entrepreneurial being organizations enact entreprenuerial organizations. This is my claim. What do you think?

My Organizational Behavior course has as its main theme and goal to develop keener, deeper understanding of what it means to be humans being business organizations. Each human's way of being that organization constitutes the organization's way of being Starbucks, Southwest, or Babson (home of OBTC 2008).

Again, how are organizations entrepreneurial? When most humans being that organization are being entrepreneurial at a given moment of time.

How do we humans manage ourselves be entrepreneurial? We learn to be so.

Thus we management educators need to practice teaching in ways that model and foster entrepreneurial learning.

Doing so, we send out to or back to the organized world of enterprise, humans being entrepreneurial when they are being whatever organization they join. And, we need to send out legions of them.
