Pembangunan model keusahawanan i-sedar dalam melahirkan usahawan melalui komuniti

Various research, action and launching of programs including entrepreneurship models have been conducted by the government of Malaysia, however, to date the objective of the implementation yet to be achieved. Thus, the study aims to develop a Model of Entrepreneurial Development of i-SEDAR (MoKiS) for entrepreneurial development in a community. In this study was found that local leaders and communities of an united community and which collaborated in every entrepreneurial activity were able to produce new entrepreneurs in the community. The major difference in this study as compared to other entrepreneurial studies in Malaysia is the involvement of local communities and the support offered by the relevant government in each entrepreneurial activity. Based on the McKernan's model on action research approaches, data was collected through nine cycles of data
collection. The findings of this study indicates that all five participants and a cooperative that followed the development of this model within 28 months were successful. Success is even more remarkable when this study is able to turn individuals who are not entrepreneurs into entrepreneurs. The model of entrepreneurial development is developed with the reference of United States model of community development and combined with domestic and foreign models of entrepreneurship. In addition, model comparison was made with Japan’s success history, Thailand’s failure and the success history of Islamic Malay Sultanate of Malacca. Next, the model’s impact assessment was made through visits to the
countries that have successful entrepreneurship programs like South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. In assessing the extent to which this model is applicable in the current situation, market tests have been conducted and have received special attention from two state governments and one local government in Malaysia. The religious
approach used throughout the study proves that the approach influenced the overall success of the study.
