Abstract

ABSTRACT The main objective of this article is to answer the question on how the Indonesian nationalism during the pre-Indonesian independence moved from the scale of ethnicity to populist and nationality. Likewise, the article also tries to answer of why current Indonesian leaders have to face difficulties to revitalize the spirit of nationalism as the foundation of developing entrepreneurship for solving the current multidimensional crisis. In post-independence Indonesian history, it is clear to be seen that nationalism could be used as a strategic power to fight against colonial power which challenged the existence of Indonesian. For that purpose, it is important to implant the value and spirit of nationalism as the foundation of developing entrepreneuship among Indonesian people to establish nationalistic entrepreneurs in the framework of the development of small and medium scale enterprises. Key words: nationalism, entrepreneurship, nationalistic entrepreneur.
