Dr. David J. Urban, dean of the Jones College of Business, will
be the featured speaker at the April 8 meeting of the RutherfordCABLE
networking organization.
The group’s upcoming breakfast meeting will be held 7:30 to
9 a.m. Tuesday, April 8, at Stones River Country Club, 1830 N.W. Broad St. in
Murfreesboro. Urban’s message is titled “The Entrepreneurial Spirit,”
according to a RutherfordCABLE news release.
Urban, who became dean in July 2013, will discuss current entrepreneurship
initiatives within the Jones College and also draw on previous research to
describe the entrepreneur’s mindset and will provide real-world examples of
entrepreneurship in action. According to Urban, entrepreneurs often
transform perceived disadvantages into advantages, and the characteristics of
successful entrepreneurs might be surprising to some.
“Many times, we think of entrepreneurs as people who start
new business ventures, but they are also found in other arenas as well — such
as public service, large corporations, and education,” Urban said in the
release. “Entrepreneurial thinking is not confined to one industry or a
particular type of organization. It is pervasive — and that’s why
forward-thinking organizations actively promote and support it.”
The deadline to register for this event is 5 p.m. Thursday,
April 3. Registration fees are $15 for members and $20 for guests. To
