I. Introduction
Entrepreneurship is now valuable for growth, innovation and development within national economies. However, there are many differing opinions about what entrepreneurship is and what makes someone an entrepreneur. In Vietnamese society, people often define an entrepreneur as an innovator who accepts some sort of risks in the pursuit of their new venture. Thus in order to have a better understanding about “entrepreneur” as well as their motivation and challenges, this report will critically analyze a character – a Vietnamese young entrepreneur – Mr. Loc, Nguyen Van who is known as the founder of Aothun.vn Company.

    Studying the prior history of Vietnam is important because we learn that Vietnam was completely under French rule by 1893 (Week One Lecture, 2013). Why was Vietnam such a prized possession to have? Vietnam’s location was significant within itself; Vietnam had “a strategic location astride major shipping lanes linking India, China, Japan, and the islands of Southeast Asia” and served as a source of foodstuffs and raw materials (Moss, 2010, p.2). We must put ourselves in the shoes of the Vietnamese people during this time and view these events from their point-of-view also. There were territorial wars including France, Japan, and eventually the United States which all treated Vietnam and the Vietnamese people as nothing more than property that they wanted to gain and maintain control of. No respect or value of their culture was held by any of these countries, which served as another reason that Vietnam sought national identity and independence. Studying the context of the prior history of Vietnam and what the participants of this history valued helps understand the elements that led to the independence of Vietnam. All of the information needed to understand the decisions made and the actions taken by the Vietnamese people to fight for their independence is gained through studying the context of their prior history.…

    A Message to Garcia is serves as an inspiration for many reasons. Not only is it a prime example of the "no questions asked" attitude, it also makes you question yourself as a leader. Many will say that this essay is about the subordinate, but to me it envelopes the relationship of the team as a whole to accomplish the mission. Though there are many different leadership styles and principles but in my opinion the most prominent in this essay are communication, trust, and obedience.…
