Technical entrepreneurship (Technopreneur)
• In a fast changing technological environment, wherein the product life cycle is shrinking, the role of technical entrepreneurship has assumed a central place. • Contributes to industrial development through innovations, new product/process development and improvements in productivity, production processes and systems. • Innovation requires innovators with some kind of technical skills. • Technicians and technocrats can play the role of innovators with comparative ease because they have characteristics such as a propensity to adopt new knowledge and technology more rapidly. • Technologists and technicians, who learn sufficient science and engineering, acquire the capability to know the why and how of various theories and can design products and services based on their knowledge and skill competencies.

14

Technical entrepreneurship
Favourable factors to technopreneureship: • With the acquired knowledge through education or experience or both, technical people can work out the economics of production and service outputs and can evolve competitive and cost effective strategies • They can give a fillip to ancillarisation, thus helping create better linkage between large and small enterprises • Their technical and analytical capability will help in preventing problems, thus reducing expenditure on troubleshooting • They can forecast changes in technology and can adapt to changing environments easily • They can contribute to self-propelled performance rather than push propelled developments • They can effectively transfer technology from laboratories to industries, based on research and development • Engineers, through entrepreneurship, can bring about a technical revolution that can meet the challenges of the emerging scenario of globalisation and liberalisation with the key element of competition rather than protection in a country like India.
15

Technical entrepreneurship
Constraints
• Technical entrepreneurs lack managerial skills leading to a high rate of failure at the start-up stage. • Technical entrepreneurship has to be nurtured, by developing institutional mechanisms that promote the technology trade between small industries. • Academic professionals have to widen their concept about entrepreneurship education and promotion, which should be relevant to the changing scenario. • The necessity of developing creativity in students has been verified by many teachers, particularly on design courses. • As shown by Karune, in the modern world the methodology of creative thinking alone cannot turn an engineer into an entrepreneur. He has to have the necessary insight into the basic laws and command over the various sources of knowledge to become resourceful.

Technology Business Incubation
? Technology
Business Incubators focus on new enterprises whose operations are based on novel technological ideas that are likely to lead to a marketable new product.

?They provide common services as well as financial, legal and business support to these newly formed enterprises.

?The incubation process ends after a limited period of time, either with “graduation” of successful start-ups that move outside the incubator, or with the termination of incubation arrangements for one reason or another.

Significance of Technology Business Incubator
• Enterprise and entrepreneurship development: by promoting technology/knowledge-based businesses, culture of technopreneurship and creation of value added new jobs; • Technology commercialization: It provides a platform for speedy commercialization of the technologies developed in the institutes to reach the end-users; • provides an interfacing and networking mechanism between academic, R&D institutions, industries and financial institutions; • value addition through its services provided to its tenants as well as to the existing technology dominated SMEs; • R&D for industry: It also enables small industry to take up R&D activity and the Technology up gradation activities.

29

Significance of Technology Business Incubator
• Earlier business incubators used to focus on new technology, light manufacturing, and services. • Today?s incubators target diversified industries such as biotechnology, clean energy, ceramics technologies, the internet, software and telecommunications, high technology, and the arts. • Incubators have been used to combat unemployment, raise rates of enterprise formation, upgrade the technological standing of firms in a given locality, commercialize university research, assist socially disadvantaged groups. • In some cases, incubation applies a way of protecting legitimate entrepreneurship from criminal activity. However, job creation is by far the most common goal of incubation schemes.
