Abstract:
Intellectual curiosity and entrepreneurial thrust are two vital components for building a resilient and progressive society. The former contributes to the creation of new knowledge and innovation, while the latter harnesses this knowledge to create new products and services that drive economic growth. When these two elements are combined, they can have a profound impact on a society’s ability to withstand economic and social challenges and create a more prosperous future. This paper discusses the theories and practical examples of intellectual and entrepreneurial thrust and highlights their relationship with the outcomes of a resilient and progressive society. The paper also gives information about the GDP growth of countries like Japan, India, China, South Korea, Israel, Finland, Singapore, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland to show how combining intellectual and entrepreneurial drive can be beneficial.
