Displacement School of Thought Essay Example

for motivating an individual to become an entrepreneur is the story of my dad. At the age of twenty-one he started working for a company that was employing about forty people. The company was manufacturing high precision metal pieces for the aerospace industry. He started as a CNC machines operator, after a few years he became in charge of one of the production department. He had a lot of determination and he was working for this company like it was his.

He had big ideas to improve the company, to have the opportunity to implement these changes he needed a more important status in the company. So he ask the president if he could be more implicated in the development of the company but the president denied his request because he thought he was too young at the age of 27 to be part of the board of directors and that his education level was not high enough for him to succeed at these activities.

So after the refusal, my dad started a business in the same industry. He was convinced that he could offer to his clients better products and in a more effective way. Now his company employs close to a hundred people for manufacturing landing gear pieces for the aerospace industry. If he wouldn’t have been restricted by the person he was working for, he would have never started an entrepreneurial venture. From my understanding this is a good example of cultural displacement.
