Project Overview

Synopsis

This project provides a comprehensive study of current theories and applied research in middle leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurialism. It reveals practices and principles of organisational restructuring, organisational development, and innovation, presenting strategies for supporting entrepreneurialism in educational organisations (edupreneurialism). The project addresses the notion of the 3Cs qualities introduced by Dr Chung Po Yang, whereby entrepreneurs need to be aware of and fluent in the subject of the 3Cs (competence, character and care) in order to become great service leaders. Another notion the project addresses is innovation for continuous improvement, whereby successful educational organisations identify creative strategies to meet organisational goals.
