Characteristics of Entrepreneurs Theoretical Descriptions

17 contextual and process-oriented research. Theory of development is what drives any field of study. Entrepreneurship theory has been developing over the last 30 years and it is apparent that the field is growing. More important, we need to understand some of that development in order to appreciate the better nature of entrepreneurial leadership. Moreover, the study of the basic theories in entrepreneurship helps to form a foundation upon in which we can build an understanding of the process of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial leadership is organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal using proactive entrepreneurial behaviour by optimizing risk, innovating to take advantage of opportunities, taking personal responsibility and managing change within a dynamic environment for the benefit of the organization. Entrepreneurial leadership is effectively using the skills associated with successful individual entrepreneurs and applying those within the environment of the larger organization. This especially means within an organization where those skills have been lost and replaced with a corporate mind-set that focuses on process, systems and risk minimization rather than entrepreneurial behaviour.

4. Experiencing Self Vs. Remembering Self

Romano 1998 states that experience is one of the most-used terms in science education, and it is recognized as being related to learning education. Moreover, Romano 1998 emphasizes: Experience, in its fundamental sense, is that which, by putting us in play ourselves, modifies us profoundly in a way that after having crossed, endured, traversed it, we will never be the same again: undergo an illness, mourning, joy, loving, traveling, writing a book, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 18 painting are “experiences” in the first philosophical sense, surely simple, but nevertheless trivial Romano; 1998, p. 197. Experience, as treated Vygotsky 2001, is unlike the common use of the term as referring to participation in events or activities and, in the process, having certain feelings. Instead, Vygotsky 2001 emphasizes that experience is a category of thinking, a minimal unit of analysis that includes people their intellectual, affective, and practical characteristics, their material and social environment, their transactional relations mutual effects on each other, and affect . Kahneman and Riis 2005, p. 285-289 provide the interesting thing related to human beings. According to Kahneman and Riis, there are two selves in human beings; these selves are experiencing-self and remembering-self. Moreover, they explain the experiencing-self can be used to tell the moment or events that happened based on the time. However, it is different from remembering-self. When we need to score the events of experiences, we need remembering-self as a medium. According to Kahneman, human being is story tellers. Due to human beings are story tellers, it needs remembering-self as the medium to recall the events. This case needs remembering-self rather than experiencing-self. Kahneman and Riis 2005 tell that every 3-second human beings have a moment. Therefore, in one day work, it is possible to have 20.000 moments. Due to that case, it is impossible for a person to tell all the moments. However, the person can tell about some moments that he or she remembers. Kahneman and Riis’ 2005 show that the ‘experiencing-self’ deals with the time of events while ‘remembering-self’ deals with the score for the events. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 19

B. Theoretical Framework

ELESP students are treated to be professional English teachers. However, not all students are possible to be teachers. Therefore, when they deal with working in other fields, some of the students could not possibly compete since they are not prepared as workers in other fields. Due to that case, some ELESP lecturers started to create a course named Service Program Design SPD KPE 477 to prepare ELESP students to compete with others in working place as stated by the lecturer of SPD, Dra. Lanny Anggawati. One of the treatments which is given in SPD course is to build manager’s and entrepreneur’s characteristics within the students. In Service Program Design SPD course, the lecturers give problems to students. The problems are created for the students to experience them. Therefore, the focus of this research is to answer two questions: 1 to what extent did the ELESP students obtain the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through Service Program Design Class? and 2 To what extent did the experiences of learning in SPD class bring enjoyable atmosphere across the period? To answer the first question, the researcher uses th e ‘remembering-self’ as the medium to obtain data since one of the methods is used by the researcher is interviewing method. Through this theory, the researcher can know how far the ELESP students have obtained the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through SPD Class. When someone has experienced things, heshe can remember and tell what exactly happens. The experiences here are dealing with experiencing entrepreneurship. However, there are many definitions of entrepreneurship and
