Evolution of Entrepreneurship
?

?

Origin of the Word “Entrepreneur” ? The word was originally used to describe people who “take on the risk” between buyers and sellers or “undertake” a task such as starting a new venture. ? The “undertake” interpretation of the word has been central to its usage in English Difference Between an Inventor and an Entrepreneur ? An inventor creates something new ? An entrepreneur puts together all the resources needed – the money, the people, the strategy and the risk-bearing ability to transform the invention into a viable business

Entrepreneurship Defined
?

The essence of entrepreneurial behavior is
?

identifying opportunities and putting useful ideas into practice

?

The set of tasks called for by this behavior can be accomplished by either an individual or a group and typically
?

requires creativity, drive and a willingness to take risks

?

Entrepreneurship is the process by which individuals pursue opportunities
?

without regard to the resources they currently control

Essence of Entrepreneurship
? ?

?

? ? ?

Nexus of: ? Valuable opportunities and enterprising individuals Opportunity ? a situation in which a person can exploit a new business idea that has the potential to generate profit Mindset: a way of looking at things that is ? Opportunity – focused ? Creative Passionate - doing what you love Creating wealth and gaining independence Persistent and innovative

Essence of Entrepreneurship
?

(cont..)

Entrepreneurship is the knack for sensing opportunity
where others see
?

chaos, contradiction and confusion

?

An entrepreneur is someone who works for himself/ herself for 16 hours a day so he/she doesn’t have to
?

work eight hours a day for someone else

NEXUS of Enterprising Individuals and

Valuable Opportunities

The Price System
?

?

?

Prices contain all of the information ? From all participants in the economy ? Needed to allocate resources People can therefore make decisions about allocation of resources through established decision rules When equilibrium is reached, people then have no reason to change their approach to buying on selling

Limits to the Price System
?

?

?

?

?

Prices do not always allocate resources effectively Impose limits on the types of decisions that the price system can be used to make An inventor developing a new product must make decisions about the use of resources Information about new products does not exist till it enters the market place Prices and revenues for new products cannot determine the resource allocation decision

Technology
?

?

Prices do not provide information ? About a way of producing or organizing ? That requires a technology that does not yet exist By definition, such information is not available to market participants

Entrepreneurship creates technology and is enabled by i

Prices & Entrepreneurship
?

Prices do not provide information about
? The

actions of competitors in response to entrepreneurial entry

?

?

?

This requires the entrepreneur to make a conjecture Key element of entrepreneurial decision is not contained in the prices, but in Entrepreneur's conjecture as the cause for price movement

Role of Asymmetry
?

Entrepreneurship requires differences between people:
specifically, entrepreneurship requires the preferential access to information ? ability to recognize opportunities ? both of which vary across people
?

?

In the absence of variation across people
Everyone would recognize and act upon all opportunities making it impossible for any one person ? to gain access to resources at a price at which recombination would yield profit
?

Economic Impact of Entrepreneurial Firms
?

?

Innovation ? Process of creating something new, which is central to the entrepreneurship ? Small entrepreneurial firms are responsible for 60% of all innovations Job Creation ? In the past two decades, economic activity has moved in the direction of smaller entrepreneurial firms;
?

unique ability to innovate and focus on specialized tasks

Entrepreneurial Firms’ Impact on Society and Larger Firms
?

Impact on Society
?

? ? ? ?

make our lives easier, enhance our productivity at work, improve our health; and entertain us in new ways

?

? ?

Context Start-up Growth Exit

Value Creation

Entrepreneurial Process
?

A typical manager asks
? What ? What

resources do I control? structure determines our company’s relationship to

its market?
? How

can I minimize the impact of others on my ability to

perform?
? What

opportunity is appropriate?

Entrepreneurial Process …cont
?

The entrepreneur tends to ask:
? Where ? How

is the opportunity?

do I capitalize on it? resources do I need?

? What ? How

do I gain control over them?

? What

structure is best

Beyond Business As Usual
?

Entrepreneurial judgment required since
? No

decision rule that can be applied

using freely available information
? No

way to model complex decisions

involving uncertainty and discovery
? Major

impact on account of risk and

innovation

Sailing in Uncharted Waters
? ?

Exploitation of opportunity is, by definition, uncertain Information necessary to determine whether a particular effort to exploit an opportunity will be profitable
?

cannot be known with certainty at the time that the opportunity is identified because

? ?
?

that information does not come into existence
until the entrepreneur pursues the opportunity.

The pursuit of opportunity, itself, determines
?
? ?

whether the demand exists,
whether the entrepreneur can compete with others, and whether a new value chain can be created?

Shumpeter Model
From Innovation to Entrepreneurship
Changes in Political forces Regulation Macroeconomic factors Social trends CREATE New Information that Entrepreneurs use to Figure out how to Recombine resources into NEW AND VALUABLE FORMS

Environment for Entrepreneurship
?

Entrepreneurship flourishes in communities where resources are mobile
Entrepreneurship is greater when successful members of a community reinvest excess capital in the projects of other community members Entrepreneurship flourishes in communities in which success of other community members is celebrated rather than derided Entrepreneurship is greater in communities that see change as positive rather than negative.

Prior Industry Experience
?

Several studies have shown that prior experience in an industry helps an entrepreneur recognize business opportunities. There are several explanations for this
?

By working in an industry, an individual may spot a market niche that is underserved It is also possible that by working in an industry, an individual builds a network of social contacts who provide insights that lead to recognizing new opportunities

?

Social Networks
?

The extent and depth of an individual’s social network affects opportunity recognition People who build a substantial network of social and professional contacts will be exposed to more opportunities and ideas than people with sparse networks In one survey of 65 start-ups, half the founders reported that they got their business idea through social contacts

?

?

Social Networks

(cont…)

Nature of Strong-Tie Vs. Weak – Tie Relationships
? Strong-tie

relationship are characterized by frequent interaction and form between co-workers, friends and spouses relationships are characterized by infrequent interaction and form between casual acquaintances

? Weak-tie

?

Result
? It

is more likely that an entrepreneur will get new business ideas through weaktie rather than strong-tie relationships

Social Networks (cont…)
Why weak-tie relationships lead to more new business ideas than strong-tie relationships Strong – Tie Relationships These relationships, which typically form between likeminded individuals, tend to reinforce insights and ideas that people already have Weak – Tie Relationships The relationships, which form between casual acquaintances, are not as apt to be between likeminded individuals, so one person may say something to another that sparks a completely new idea
