Reflection

Innovation is a critical component of both entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship. Social scientists should be conscientious of the value entrepreneurial practices lend to practice in disciplines such as nursing, psychology, and sociology. Change agents can bring about robust improvements by not only inventing products and starting businesses, but by tweaking processes as well. It is through this type of forward-thinking, innovative practice that organizations stay relevant in a ceaselessly changing economy.
