Requisite Organization and the Nature of Entrepreneurial Work
Summary
- At this point. we could approach the founder entrepreneur's work or on the other we could start to analyze the kind of organization which arises which appears. We're going to try to move along both of these paths simultaneously. Let's take a look at this diagram that will help us to understand first of all, how the mind of people who have created the business work.
- Every owner founder has somewhere in his mind what we have called the four dimensions of the founder owner role. These are the complexity of mental processing, the value and commitment to the task and one's skilled knowledge. The fourth dimension refers to organization, coordination, motivation and leadership.
- To the owner founder's eyes the organization is invisible. The creation of more levels is something which only makes the enterprise's organization weaker. Requisite organization helps the founder businessman and provides his enterprise with stability and possibly growth.
- In small organizations the visible working capacity is not well represented by the person's available current capacity. By understanding these three different capacity values, the businessman and his organization can be taken to a level of development that is above and beyond the founder's own capacity.
