As traditional patterns of living and decision making increasingly lose their power to provide individuals with a sense of orientation and security, while the number of options and alternative courses of action to choose from is rising, more and more decisions and choices are left to the individual. The erosion of relieving certainties and institutions does not only open up the potential of increased opportunities to design and create one s own life but it is inevitably linked to an increasing formal pressure to actively organize and manage life, a need for self governing.

one source date July 2010 A moral entrepreneur is a person who seeks to influence a group to adopt or maintain a Norm sociology norm . The moral entrepreneur may press for the creation or enforcement of a norm for any number of reasons, altruistic or selfish. Some examples of moral entrepreneurs are MADD mothers against drunk driving , the anti tobacco lobby, and the pro life movement. The term moral entrepreneur was coined by Howard S. Becker . In his view, moral entrepreneurs fall into roughly two categories rule creators , and rule enforcers . Rule creators can be seen as moral crusaders, who are concerned chiefly with the successful persuasion of others, but are not concerned with the means by which this persuasion is achieved. Successful moral crusades are generally dominated by those in the upper social strata of society Becker,1963 . There is political competition in which these moral crusaders originate crusades aimed at generating reform, based on what they think is moral, therefore defining deviance. Moral crusaders must have power, public support, generate public awareness of the issue, and be able to propose a clear and acceptable solution to the problem Becker, 1963 . After a time, crusaders become dependent upon experts or professionals, who serve to legitimize a moral creed on technical or scientific grounds. Rule enforcers, such as policemen, are compelled by two drives the need to justify their own role, and the need to win respect in interactions. They are in a bind if they show too much effectiveness one might say they are not needed, and if they show too little effectiveness one might say they are failing. Rule enforcers just feel the need to enforce the rule because that is their job they are not really concerned with the content of the rule. As rules are changed, something that was once acceptable may now be punished and vice versa. Such officials ... Entrepreneur de morale ... more details

At the time the book was published by two computer journal writers, Ken Olsen was competing with other Massachusetts computing companies such as Data General founded by his former employee , Prime Computer , Wang Laboratories , Symbolics , Lotus Development Corporation, and Apollo Computer .
