The Concept
- Non-profit
- 1.1 Not necessarily by legal status but by nature of activities (in countries, where legal circumstances affect the non-profit legal status)
- 1.2 Surplus of the JE should not be used for any economic benefits for the members of the JE unless it is for execution of project work. If the legal status allows economic benefits for Management Board, then the National umbrella should ensure that there is a rule in place to prevent this from happening in a JE
- Non-political: not affiliated to political movement or party, however, able to lobby
- Non-religious: not affiliated to a religious movement or church
- Managed entirely by students: students only make and execute strategic decisions.
- Linked to an institution of higher education, but not necessarily affiliated legally. However, support from the University should be proactively sought.
- Legal entity: legal settlement should be proactively sought.
- Fostering entrepreneurship spirit:
- 7.1 Proactively engaging members in decision making;
- 7.2 Encouraging them to start their own projects;
- 7.3 Actively look for new opportunities.
- Contribute to the development of the National Network by providing trainings to the Junior Entrepreneurs about the Network and motivating them to be a part of its activities.
- Fostering members development
- 9.1 The end result of every project should be the development of members by any mean;
- 9.2 Every project should develop a soft or a hard skill. The business acquisition, however, if the market allows, should focus on acquiring projects which develop hard skills (e.g.: resource management, analytics, technical, etc.)
- 9.3 Projects should assume interaction with external parties: private and civil companies
- Aiming at sustainable activity (at least one project a year must be run for clients). Thus, the Junior Enterprise seeks the quality implementation of the Concept.

Famous quotes containing the word concept:
“The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx’s concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud’s.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Modern man, if he dared to be articulate about his concept of heaven, would describe a vision which would look like the biggest department store in the world, showing new things and gadgets, and himself having plenty of money with which to buy them. He would wander around open-mouthed in this heaven of gadgets and commodities, provided only that there were ever more and newer things to buy, and perhaps that his neighbors were just a little less privileged than he.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
