Ontological Framework of Time, Space and Matter for Propensity toward Creative/Intellectual Deviance and Futuring with Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs



Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and living. It is a mindset that puts focus on business opportunities while being innovative and creative. Identification of opportunities is an intentional process, whose influence is reflected in the action. An intention is best predictor of behaviour, especially when it is rare, difficult to observe and involves activities that are often unpredictable. It is often a sound creative instinct that derives entrepreneurial behaviours, while keeping them above the normal human's intellectual levels. Creative deviance is something that an entrepreneur has to incorporate in his endeavours, if he has to implement a successful project.

Ontological Framework of Time, Space and Matter for Propensity toward Creative/Intellectual Deviance and Futuring with Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs

Introduction

It is a quality of successful entrepreneurs that they are innovative and risk-takers. Their actions are guided by intuition for future endeavors, including the implementation of the foreknowledge of business opportunities. This foreknowledge involves creating perceptions about information regarding non-local objects or psycho-physiological systems that are difficult to assess and interpret. It requires a great deal of intuitive capabilities to make correct predictions and forecasts about the future that is very uncertain in the first place (Weisberg, 1993). It also requires creating emotionally-significant reactions to stimuli, involving thoughts of the brain and feelings from the heart. The intuitive basis of entrepreneurship requires a great deal of creativity and innovativeness that forms the foundational concepts of new businesses and ventures.

Outline of the Study

This dissertation will demonstrate an understanding and assessment of the implications of creative deviance in sense making practices of innovative endeavours undertaken by entrepreneurs. It will also distinguish between the epistemological and ontological standpoints to see how the epistemological approach does not provide justified applicability to the subject in comparison to the ontological perspectives.

The researcher will go about the study in a systematic and logical manner; whereby creating an understanding of the theoretical perspectives on the topic, assessing it in detail as to how entrepreneurial intuition is guided through the two given approaches. The proposal would further outline and identify the topics that need to be analyzed in this context. The dynamics of consciousness and creativity would also be studied in this respective study. The review of literature will be given in a comprehensive manner followed by a description of the methodology used in this research-based study. The paper will argue about the preference of the ontological standpoint as compared to the epistemological approach towards providing a holistic view about innovative entrepreneurship behaviours. In the end the researcher will provide a set of implications and outcomes of the research.
