The new century is a century of innovation, and the future society urgently needs talents with innovative and entrepreneurial ability. As the main body of higher education and the source of social development, college students must adapt to the development requirements of the knowledge economy era and have strong innovation and entrepreneurial ability. Under the new situation, it is particularly important to strengthen the cultivation of college students' innovative spirit and entrepreneurial ability. Then, under the current employment situation, how can college students improve their entrepreneurial ability? Here are some of my views.
1, enhance innovation awareness and entrepreneurial spirit
Innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial spirit are the internal motivation to form and promote entrepreneurial behavior, and are the premise and foundation of entrepreneurial behavior. The cultivation of innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial spirit is the focus of entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. First of all, we should educate and guide college students to enhance their innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial spirit, and rely on knowledge, wisdom and courage to start a career that can give full play to their personal specialties. Let the students realize that in order to meet the requirements of the new era, we must strengthen our own innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial spirit. Entrepreneurial awareness is a necessary preparation for entrepreneurial spirit and behavior, and it is a powerful internal motivation for people to engage in entrepreneurial activities. For every college student who wants to start a business, we must first strengthen the entrepreneurial awareness and entrepreneurial spirit.
2, master professional knowledge, improve the pioneering and innovative ability.
It is not enough for college students to start a business with good wishes. To truly achieve the goal of starting a business, you must have excellent skills. Professional knowledge is a generalization and summary of the development law of a certain field. The more professional knowledge you have, the deeper your entrepreneurial activities will be. Therefore, we must first master our professional knowledge and cultivate our independent learning ability. The key is to cultivate our interest in learning, learn to make good use of it, learn independently, be good at learning, be willing to learn, turn external learning into the demand of internal life, and internalize external scientific and cultural knowledge into the nourishment of our own life growth, so as to always maintain an enterprising spirit and a successful attitude of happy learning. It is also important to actively participate in entrepreneurial practice. If college students want to start a business, the most important thing is to act boldly and make use of the university's years and favorable conditions to prepare knowledge and ability for future entrepreneurship. On the one hand, actively use favorable resources such as university libraries, reading rooms, entrepreneurship lectures, entrepreneurship tutors, etc. to learn and master relevant entrepreneurship knowledge theories; On the other hand, actively participate in entrepreneurial practice activities inside and outside the school to improve their entrepreneurial ability. Innovation ability is one of the most important abilities of successful entrepreneurs. Pioneering and innovation is the soul of entrepreneurship and the key to winning competitive advantage. An excellent entrepreneur must be brave in pioneering and innovating.
3. Improve organizational and management capabilities.
Under the condition of market economy, the market is full of competition and risks, and entrepreneurs must pay attention to management if they want to succeed in entrepreneurial practice. Management ability is the embodiment of entrepreneurs in management. Management activities run through every link of the organization's operation process, which is not only the premise of the normal operation of the organization, but also the basic condition for its survival and development. Can make partners and surrounding employees willing to follow themselves to fight for their ideals. Only personality charm and the influence of entrepreneurs can motivate the team to move forward with themselves. In the face of fierce market competition, you need to have extraordinary decision-making ability.
4. Improve interpersonal coordination ability.
Cultivate social skills and find shortcuts by leveraging strength. If college students want to succeed in starting a business, they also need to cultivate their interpersonal coordination ability. Because any activity, including starting a business, is inseparable from interpersonal communication. Therefore, it is an important prerequisite and plays an important role in the success of college students' entrepreneurship to consciously cultivate their social skills in order to gain the support of others and society. In the past, people always emphasized self-employment, but now this concept is changing. The role of interpersonal relationship in entrepreneurship is gradually increasing, and the circle of contacts is increasingly becoming a "reservoir" for entrepreneurial information, funds and experience, and sometimes it can even play a magical role in business activities. At present, the role of "friend economy" in attracting investment is increasingly apparent.
5. Cultivate teamwork ability.
Improve cooperation ability, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and form a joint force. The success of college students' entrepreneurial projects depends on a good entrepreneurial team. Successful entrepreneurship requires comprehensive knowledge and experience in many aspects, such as management knowledge, marketing knowledge, financial knowledge, legal knowledge and even product technology knowledge. Most young college students have no practice in this field, let alone experience, so it is difficult to be all-rounder. Therefore, those who know technology should find partners who know management, and those who know management should also find partners who know technology. When setting up a team, entrepreneurs must choose like-minded and independent elites to join the team and clarify the responsibilities of team members. As a team leader, entrepreneurs must also master communication skills and learn to listen, influence and negotiate, so as to maintain and consolidate the fighting capacity and work efficiency of the whole team.
6. Improve entrepreneurial psychological quality.
Graduates should be psychologically prepared before starting a business. Facing entrepreneurship, college students' psychology is complex and changeable. On the one hand, I am sincerely happy that I am about to enter the society, dedicate my knowledge and skills to the society and realize my life value; On the other hand, they often show ambivalence. Therefore, before applying for a job, we should avoid idealism and herd mentality, overcome inferiority and timidity, do not be afraid of setbacks, actively participate in competition and bravely meet challenges.
Entrepreneurship is hard, not only will you encounter all kinds of difficulties, but also the possibility of failure, so it is very important to have a good entrepreneurial psychological quality in the process of entrepreneurship. Contemporary college students are basically born in the era of reform and opening up, with superior material conditions and a single process from school to school. They have less life experience, less social experience and less setbacks, especially the only child's ability to adapt to the new environment and bear setbacks is poor. Therefore, schools should strengthen college students' mental health education and improve their entrepreneurial psychological quality; College students should consciously strengthen the training and cultivation of entrepreneurial quality, so as to correctly understand their own, social and entrepreneurial difficulties and form a modest, open-minded and persistent entrepreneurial psychological quality.
7. Establish a scientific concept of entrepreneurship.
The scientific concept of entrepreneurship should be considered from the following aspects: first, seeking truth from facts; Second, systematic thinking; Third, dialectical analysis; Fourth, keep pace with the times. "Seeking truth from facts" is to recognize the objective entrepreneurial situation. At present, there are many large and small enterprises, and the number of entrepreneurial jobs that society can provide is limited. If we can't belittle ourselves, if we just want to be "profiteers", we will be disappointed. "Systematic thinking" is a comprehensive thinking and positioning of one's own knowledge and ability, one's own quality, career orientation and career adaptability. , and find the breakthrough point of individuals and society. "Dialectical analysis" is to face the severe entrepreneurial situation, don't be pessimistic and disappointed, the entrepreneurial situation challenges and opportunities coexist, and pressure and motivation coexist. The trend of China's economic development provides potential huge development space for members of different social classes. The sustained and stable reform measures implemented by the government make people gradually accept and begin to adapt to the changes brought about by the reform. "Keeping pace with the times" means that the concept of entrepreneurship should be changed with the deepening of the market economy, constantly innovating, constantly seeking and constantly pursuing.
How do college students start their own businesses? Fan Wener: Model essay on college students' self-employment.
Abstract: In the late 1990s, a global upsurge of student entrepreneurship began to land in China. 1in may, 1998, the first college students' business plan competition was held in Tsinghua University. 1In March, 1999, Tsinghua University student science and technology entrepreneurs held the second entrepreneurial competition, and student companies such as Easy Ark and Smiler were born. 1998 to 2000, many student entrepreneurs devoted themselves to the network industry and experienced the baptism of the bursting of the bubble. After that, college students' self-employment entered a relatively stable state. In 2006, Worry-Free Future launched a survey on college students' self-employment. The first title of the survey report is: "Do you have the impulse to start a business?" The final survey results show that only 3.4% of college students chose "none".
Keywords: college students engaged in entrepreneurship
Introduction: In western developed countries, "self-employment" of college students is very common, and the proportion of "self-employment" of American college students is as high as 20% ~ 23%. In China, the proportion of college students' self-employment is relatively low, less than 1%. According to incomplete statistics, the success rate of college students' "self-employment" in China is only 2% ~ 3%, which is far lower than that of ordinary enterprises. How can we create a good environment, atmosphere and soil for college students to start their own businesses? The "business plan competition" in western developed countries is an effective form. In some developed countries, "business plan competition" is often the cradle of outstanding student entrepreneurs. The so-called business plan, which some schools call a business plan, is to let students write a feasibility report on a new product or service with market prospects, and celebrities from academia and business circles will serve as judges and select winners. With the active participation of enterprises, some successful feasibility reports may eventually get venture capital. "
To promote college students' entrepreneurship, it is necessary to improve the level of scientific and technological innovation and promote employment, and strive to cultivate a good environment conducive to promoting college students' entrepreneurship through the joint efforts of society, government, universities and college students themselves. By strengthening entrepreneurship training and entrepreneurship guidance, we can effectively improve college students' entrepreneurial ability and knowledge, further introduce sound and perfect support policies, and constantly promote college students' entrepreneurship.
First of all, the government should provide various guarantees for college students to start their own businesses, mainly through economic, administrative and legal means. Economic means, such as setting up risk funds and issuing risk loans; Administrative means, such as relevant administrative guidance and supervision; In terms of legal means, such as simplifying enterprise registration procedures, modifying the restrictions on the contribution of intellectual achievements, and protecting intellectual property rights. On the basis of efforts to implement the existing support policies for college students' entrepreneurship, we should introduce local entrepreneurship policies according to the actual situation of college students' entrepreneurship, and strive to provide preferential conditions and ensure their implementation from the aspects of opening entrepreneurial parks and financial support for policy venues, so as to lay a good policy foundation for college students' entrepreneurship. For example, Jiangxi Province has introduced a preferential tax reduction policy for college graduates to start their own businesses and choose their own jobs, which is the same as that for laid-off workers to choose their own jobs.
Secondly, it is necessary for colleges and universities to make further efforts in entrepreneurship courses and entrepreneurship guidance to improve the entrepreneurial ability and level of college students. College students' entrepreneurship itself is a manifestation of quality education, which not only highlights the connotation of quality education, but also reflects the cultivation and promotion of college students' practical ability by innovative education mode. Therefore, colleges and universities should pay attention to the cultivation of students' innovative consciousness and skills while imparting basic knowledge. Provide seminars and teaching related to entrepreneurship. For example, how to grasp business opportunities, how to raise funds, how to write business plans, how to withstand pressure and so on. And can carry out all kinds of simulated entrepreneurship, practice and inspect the operation of companies and enterprises, and carry out various case teaching. Learn to truly understand the whole process of starting a business from theory and practice.
Thirdly, it is necessary for the society to form a public opinion environment conducive to college students' entrepreneurship, form a good atmosphere conducive to entrepreneurship, and strive to promote employment and lay a good environmental foundation for college students' entrepreneurship. On the basis of having a good entrepreneurial environment, the level and ability of college students' own entrepreneurship is the most important link to determine the success of entrepreneurship.
With the progress of the times and the development of economy, people are no longer satisfied with working for others to show their value. More and more people have joined the huge team of starting their own businesses. People hope that through their own wisdom and efforts, they can experience the fun and passion of starting a business and better reflect their own values. So more people choose to start their own businesses. However, not everyone who starts his own business can succeed, and some even go bankrupt. Therefore, how to choose an enterprise is a crucial issue.
So, how to choose to start a business? Which project should I choose as my entrepreneurial dream? What problems should we pay attention to in the process of starting a business?
First of all, no matter what your specific situation is, if you want to start a business and choose a business project, you must follow the following general principles:
1. Choosing an entrepreneurial project is like having an object, and the feeling of starting a business can be compared with first love.
The importance of choosing entrepreneurial projects can be compared with the importance of engaging in entrepreneurial projects. Any project itself has a process of conception, gestation, birth and development, which is a natural process. Entrepreneurs have a process of knowing, understanding, penetrating and grasping a specific project, which is a historical process. This determines that the process of starting a business is a long-term process of mutual integration between people and projects, and also determines that the choice of projects must be based on the long-term.
2. Choose a startup project, first of all, choose yourself.
Choosing a startup project requires four words: "Know yourself and know yourself". A bosom friend is a sober examination of oneself: advantages, strengths, interests, knowledge accumulation and structure, personality and psychological characteristics. Knowing each other is an understanding of the future development trend of society and a stable, permanent and potential demand. Only by choosing your own advantageous projects, your own strong projects, your own projects of interest, and your own projects that you are familiar with in professional knowledge can you be one step ahead of others and one step closer to success.
3. This choice needs hard work.
For example. There is a man who is the richest man in the world in a week. He is Masayoshi Son of Softbank. After graduating from college, he returned to Japan from the United States, selected 50 entrepreneurial goals, investigated them one by one in a year, wrote a few feet of data, and finally chose to make a software. Since choosing a goal is related to life, you can't just go through a full argumentation process. In this process, we should be willing to spend time and energy, calm down, seriously investigate and study, and find out the facts. Sun Zhengyi's example shows us the importance of carefully choosing entrepreneurial projects.
4. The choice should be unique.
The project you choose to start a business must have a "root". It is the foundation of project life, the right and the condition of survival. It can be expressed in four sentences: what others don't have; Found by ancestors; Different from people; Powerful. What others don't have can be the connection between a certain resource and a certain demand, and it can be the new commercial value of a recognized resource. A relative found white soil on a nearby mountain, which can be used to make pottery. He further learned that there was a railway nearby. So, he bought the land with clay buried in it, dried it, ground it into powder and sold it. Another example is, "the land of the strong." No matter what aspect of a project, even a little bit: superior people, excellent people are fundamental. For example, cost, who would have thought that the world's top 500 is a retail enterprise called Wal-Mart? Management expenses can be controlled at 2% of sales. It is said that the office of their headquarters is like the driver's lounge of the truck terminal, which shows what kind of spirit is behind their efforts to reduce costs.
It is necessary for college students who are interested in starting a business to develop and upgrade their technology on the basis that their own technology is enough to start a business, so as to have corresponding technological advantages in the market competition; We should seriously study relevant entrepreneurial knowledge, actively adjust our mentality to make full psychological and knowledge preparation for starting a business, and accumulate corresponding entrepreneurial information through simulated entrepreneurship or internship before starting a business.
Experience; Effectively use relevant preferential policies to find venture capital and financing funds in many ways; Establish an entrepreneurial team with corresponding ability and level to effectively overcome the problems in the entrepreneurial process; We should not only seize the opportunity to become bigger and stronger after making some progress in starting a business, but also actively deal with and properly solve the problems encountered when facing certain difficulties and setbacks, strive to improve the success rate of starting a business, promote social employment, and make due contributions to scientific and technological innovation and upgrading the level of science and technology. Summary: Self-employment requires all aspects of knowledge accumulation, social experience and interpersonal skills, as well as good psychological endurance and risk awareness. College students have both successes and failures in starting a business, and not everyone is suitable for starting a business. Therefore, the author believes that it is more rational for college students to choose to start their own businesses. It is not enough to start a business with interest and passion. It is also restricted by funds, interpersonal relationships, policies and environment. The topic of entrepreneurship should be eternal, but the choice of entrepreneurship should be cautious.
