Entrepreneurial
My proposed research subject is the traits that are most ideal for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs have long been recognized as distinct component of the economic system and their unique contributions have been cited by Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and Joseph Schumpeter (McDaniel, 2005). Scholars have further sought to determine the different ways in which entrepreneurs think and make decisions compared to other managers (Minniti, et al., 2006). I intend to explore this issue in depth and attempt to synthesize the current theories with respect to the differences between entrepreneurs and ordinary managers.
There are several elements of what makes a successful entrepreneur. I will focus my research on personality traits. Some discussion on the subject attempts to categorize entrepreneurs (Zahorsky, 2009), while other discussion takes a more clinical tack and addresses the issue in terms of individual traits rather than bundles of traits (Stolze, 1999).
I will utilize a variety of sources to gather this information. The subject has been studied academically in both management and psychological circles, so I will utilize journal articles in order to begin with an academic framework. Because the subject of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial success pre-dates modern academic discourse, it would be unreasonable to discount the value of the lay press on this subject. I will begin by examining the historical writings of key authors such as Smith and Schumpeter.
I will also examine modern magazine and newspaper sources in order to gain lay perspective on the subject. Some focus will be given to discourse from entrepreneurs themselves, who obviously have first-hand insight into the subject. I plan to gather this information from online academic databases. Magazine articles can be culled from the library and from the websites of those magazines.

While the barriers in Germany to such independent enterprising are increasingly being diminished in the face of opening global trade routes, it is still the case that Germany's public and private means to stimulating independent enterprising are less accessible and less plentiful than those found in the United States.

It appears that workgroups have a strong impact on the behaviour of the individuals within them as the workgroup sees a strong demand for something in the marketplace and works toward supplying it (Zahra, Nielsen & Bogner, 1999). It is quite likely that others in their workgroup will all go along with this issue even if many of them have not considered entrepreneurship before (Zahra, Nielsen & Bogner, 1999).
