description Introducing creative elements into the syllabus and pedagogy of an Entrepreneurship class in a business school can be a risky endeavor for an educator and the students alike. Populating the class with students from traditionally risk-averse cultures provides many opportunities for everyone to push, prod, succeed and fail, if events don’t go according to plan. Identifying the core behavioral issue that creates the most value in the learning experience of the students is one small step in bringing the synergy of creativity and entrepreneurship together in the academic environment. The end result was a joint learning workshop on Skype, between an author of a book that isn’t a textbook, a multilingual multicultural class in South Korea and a culturally homogenous class in Indonesia. Along the way, the walls of the classroom were removed and the covers from the book disappeared. At the end of the journey, a new paradigm had emerged, driven and defined by the students that want to be the Entrepreneurs of their own worlds. This is the story of one creative entrepreneurship class of multinational students in South Korea.
