Adama Kuyateh Interview

This past Thursday I had the opportunity to sit down and conduct a phone interview with Jordan Maleh. Jordan graduated from UConn in 2006 with a Bachelor’s in Sport Management and then his Master’s in Sport Management and Sociology in 2008. He currently works at the Big Ten Network in Chicago, Illinois as the Director of Digital and Consumer Marketing. As a graduating senior, this interview was very helpful to me because it gave me the chance to ask a professional in the sport industry, such as Jordan, questions about his experience at UConn and how he got his start in the sport industry and to where he is today.

I had the absolute honor of meeting and interviewing the wonderful Isis Howard, a Residential Advisor in PCV 1. Isis, a 2nd year Environmental Management and Protection major, greeted me with a smile which led me to immediately feel comfortable around her. Isis had several personal motivations for why she chose to become a RA; ranging from personal growth and gaining useful life skills, such as communication, honesty, and leadership, to giving back to the Cal Poly community. One point brought up that resigned with me was that her transition to living on her own had been difficult, but her RAs were there for her every step of the way. Their efforts to create a sense of home in an unfamiliar environment truly motivated her to become a RA. Now that Isis has received the job, she mentions she receives the benefits that she hoped for from the beginning everyday- she continues to develop skills in a wide range of areas that deem valuable for life.

An Entrepreneur is a person who forms and operates a business. Entrepreneurs form and start companies by themselves, or with partners. Most of the time companies which are started by entrepreneurs are relatively small in size, but some grow into huge corporations, such as Microsoft which is owned by Bill Gates. Entrepreneurs have four different options when starting a business, which include a sole proprietorship, Partnership, limited liability company, and also a corporation. Each form has its advantages and also disadvantages depending on what the type of business is, and also what service it provides.

Entrepreneurs, individuals who come up with an plan in means of profit while knowing the risks that comes along. however, in adam smith time(1723-1790), the definition of an entrepreneur was different it was an “ individual purusing his or her own good to achieve the best good for all”. Those individuals led by the “invisible hand” would provide

Karishma Turakhia is a 33 year old part time waitress and full time PIMA dental hygiene student. Ms. Turakhia was selected for this interview because of her cultural background in regards to animals. Coming from and Indian heritage, lifetime vegetarian, and non-owner of animals her views of animal cruelty are different. In her culture high importance is placed on the cow and religious beliefs which accounts for her vegetarian lifestyle. However, she has never placed importance on animals especially of those of household pets. Growing up most Indians never partake in owning the usual dog of cat, maybe a fish, but never anything with fur. Ms. Turakhia has never cared for household pets because of their hygiene issue, but in regards to animal

As the interview was filing into session, the interviewee, Charisse Kaleolani Kinilau, settled onto her back patio cushions and packed her hands. Around us, a tin scuttle detained the reminisce of a fading, fire. Despite the fact that it was seventy degrees, she expressed that it was a chilled afternoon for her, since she had been “so used to the warmer weathers.” She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she resided for the first seventeen years of her life. During her time on the island, she attended Kamehameha, the most academic school in Hawaii. In her late adolescent years, acquiring a career in architectural design became a major goal and she began to take her studies more seriously. Not implying that she hadn’t been a diligent worker before, because she had always been committed to her education.

An entrepreneur is a person who organizes and manages a business undertaking, assuming the risk for the sake of profit. According to Martin (2010) an entrepreneur sees an opportunity which others do not fully recognize, to meet an unsatisfied demand or to radically improve the performance of an existing business. To have self-belief that this opportunity can be made real through hard work, commitment and the adaptability to learn the lessons of the market along the way. For example, When an almost bankrupt security company was offered to her, Datuk Maznah Hamid and her

Entrepreneurship. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines it as one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise. An Entrepreneur is a risk taker. One of the most well known entrepreneurs of the 20th century is none other than John D. Rockefeller. Born on July 8th, 1839 as the second child to William Avery and Eliza Davison Rockefeller. His father, was known as a con-artist, often claiming he could cure cancer while charging twenty-five dollars for a treatment. His mother was a religious women and often taught John to give and share with those that had little. John’s potential began to shine when he was 12 years old. He had saved fifty dollars from working for his neighbors and mother, when his mother urged John to loan a farmer his fifty dollars. John agreed to loan him the money under the terms that the farmer would pay John back with a 7 percent interest. “When the farmer paid him back with

Entrepreneurship is difficult to define throughout its history research. Even nowadays, this concept is still a debatable point (Rajendra, et al., 2017). Based on four decades of research, Gartner (1988) concludes that entrepreneurs are founders of new firms. Shane and Venkataraman (2000) consider entrepreneurship as “a new venture’s risk-taking endeavor seeking an opportunity” and Fortunato (2014) adds innovative value into the concept of entrepreneurship. Thus, research on the definition of entrepreneurship continue. According to those diverse views, I will interpret six unique entrepreneurial characteristics and theoretically analyze each one. Risk taker, need for achievement and proactivity as my strengthens will be illustrated with my experience. Innovativeness, internal locus of control and tolerance for ambiguity are my weaknesses, thus I will describe relevant successful Entrepreneurs’ experiences.

Entrepreneurs have a nurturing quality and are willing to take charge of, and watch over a venture until it can stand alone. They have an acceptance of responsibility. They are morally, legally, and mentally accountable for their ventures. Some entrepreneurs may be driven more by altruism than by self-interest. They reward orientation and have a desire to achieve, work hard and take responsibility, but also want to be rewarded for their efforts; rewards can be in forms other than money, such as recognition and respect. They are optimistic and live by the philosophy that this is the best of times, and that anything is possible. They have an orientation to excellence and often desire to achieve something outstanding that they can be proud of. They have strong organization and are good at bringing together the components of a venture. They want to make a profit; but the profit serves primarily as a meter to gauge their success and achievement. The demand theory holds that entrepreneurs emerge out of the combination of entrepreneurial opportunities and people who are well-positioned to take advantage of them. Anyone who encounters the right conditions might become an entrepreneur, if they find themselves in a position where they find a valuable problem that they alone can solve. An entrepreneur is a person who
