3.1 Group Dilemma

3.1.1 Discipline

A successful entrepreneur should oppose the temptation to do unimportant or the easiest but they should think through to what is the most crucial. The problem that I as a group leader face is that one of the group members did not have high discipline in his self, the group member do always skips meetings and at time when he came, he will be late. Thought the rest of the group member able to cover him, while he is not around, but then it is not a good practice to do. Discipline is the most important element that one should have in becoming a successful entrepreneur because if one can’t manage themselves it shows that one they are will face problems when it come to business.

3.1.2 Language Barrier

As our group is a mixed of international and local students, there are existence of language barrier . Two out of five members do have the problems in understanding what are the other group member is trying to explain and at the end they will receive the wrong information. Incorrect information may lead to failure of business because the group member will come out with different types of idea or instruction.

4.0 Recommendation

As to overcome the problems that being faced by the group, discussion should be made between group members as to help those who are having problems with language. For the discipline matter, I will try to consult with him and persuade him in changing to a better person. As a group leader I do believe that by showing a good set of example anyone will be likely to act like you.

For future enhancement, I would like the group members to go for training as it can help us in motivating, built up the spirit and at the same time being more discipline as we need to manage our time well.

5.0 Conclusion

Entrepreneurs are driven by the intense commitment and willingness to work very hard in achieving what they are looking forward. They must be very optimists who see things in a very positive way. There are lots of common characteristics associated with entrepreneurs that will lead them into success such as resourceful, innovator, leader etc. Entrepreneurs should also need to be very sensitive and alert on any changes as to avoid being left out and able to create new competitive advantage for the company.
