With all due respect, this is not a forum for homework assistance, it's a place to discuss the article here on Wikipedia and how to improve it. Citations, additional reading, footnotes, external links, all have plenty of information to enable you to do your own research. Bookgrrl ^holler/lookee here 03:54, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Where's the criticism?

well wikipedia discourages having a whole section devoted to criticism SamanthaG (talk) 15:17, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

actually it doesn't. An overriding local value is a truncated sort of objectivity. However as I noted above it's not going to fly in this case, at least anytime soon, so the back matter above is likely to be it. Probably most that can be done on the mainspace page is some mention of its presumption of Capitalist relations. 76.180.168.166 (talk) 10:49, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Sources

Where do these definitions come from? At least for the Peter Drucker materials, it seems that they stem from Wikipedia. Wikipedia cannot be the primary source of this definition. It seem unfortunate that most have cited Wikipedia's definition but have not given it credit.

Citations

For the sake of clean formatting, if nothing else, it would be nice to actually see some proper number references in this article, instead of mentions of external links in the text itself (eg. 'Shane and Venkataraman (2000)'). And it would be especially good to see some citations at all where they're particularly warranted (eg. 'Empirical studies suggest...', 'Psychological studies show that...'; Which empirical studies?).

Mark Zuckerberg???

Can we please use someone else as a poster child because a lot of people don't think he is a particularly good entrepreneur, actually....Elinruby (talk) 02:19, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

welp, since I am one of those people and am currently on a mission to improve some of the business pages, which are surprisingly bad in places, I am going to go ahead and do this myself.

The description of Zuckerberg as an entrepreneur offends me because there is some question of whose idea the Facebook site originally was, but beyond all that, the site itself not particularly innovative. It's essentially an online bulletin board and is notorious for poor implementation of both its code and its policies.

Just my opinion, which I have no intention of inserting into this page. But I *am* going to change the picture to one of the founders of Google, which really did set off a paradigm shift and really does innovate. I found the picture at Wikimedia commons, so I believe it is ok to use - at least it looks like there is a finding to this effect.

I am not particularly invested in whether we use this picture or this company as a poster child for entrepreneurs, however -- if someone has a better idea, please do go ahead and be bold. I just can't quite stomach calling Zuckerberg an entrepreneur. Elinruby (talk) 20:22, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
