What does entrepreneurial thinking and action mean?

It means designing activities and processes effectively and creating innovations for or within a company. The focus is on your own interest in the success of the company. The focus is not only on founding your own company or developing your own product. The autonomy of your own person, which is expressed in the ability to work autonomously and the independent organisation in your own working environment, is also a central component.
