Download or read book New Venture Strategies written by Karl H. Vesper and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There exists a variety of ways of working at entrepreneurship, some of which offer more promise of success than others. This text suggests patterns for organizing the existing entrepreneurial examples in order to help potential entrepreneurs see what options are available to them. The analyses present data concerning both success and non-success, as well as conceptual schemes for analyzing and for developing entrepreneurial action, in order to offer strategies for business entry, whether by startup or acquisition. Often used as a textbook, this work is also cited in the research literature, in part because of its synthesis of prior research. Organizes the prior research into a framework that includes the following components: Perspectives on Entrepreneurship (which points out eight different types of entrepreneurs); Success and Failure Factors; Career Departure Points (the different points in life at which individuals start ventures); Sequences in Startups; Sources of Venture Ideas; Evaluating Venture Ideas; Competitive Entry Wedges (advantages that new firms use to break into a market); Acquisition Finding and Dealing; Corporate Entrepreneurship; and Public Policies. Categorizes entrepreneurs into eight different types: solo self-employed individuals (including Mom 'n' Pop operators, trades people, and high-hourly-rate professionals); deal-to-dealers (serial and portfolio entrepreneurs); team builders (whose who go on to build larger companies using hiring and delegation) ; independent innovators (who create companies in order to develop, produce, and sell their own innovations and inventions); pattern multipliers (those who spot an effective business plan, possibly originated by someone else, and multiply it to realize profits on additional such ventures); economy-of-scale exploiters (who locate in lower rent and tax areas and reduce services in order to reduce prices, which makes it more difficult for competitors to enter), capital aggregators (who initiate such ventures as banks or insurance companies by pulling together a substantial financial stake); and acquirers (who acquire a going concern). The analysis of success and failure concludes that performance depends on a number of factors such as: the right time and place, education and experience, working with partners, starting with greater capital, and applying better management practices. While many sequences are possible for creating new ventures, generally five key elements must be recruited by the entrepreneur in order to start: the venture idea, physical resources, technical know-how in the particular line of work, personal contacts critical to the business, and sales orders from customers. The venture idea is one of the most difficult ones to acquire and most important, because if it is good, it facilitates the acquisition of the remaining ones. The analysis of sources of venture ideas offers eight suggestions that can increase the odds of discovering a good idea by taking action, rather than passively waiting for fortunate coincidence. Four sets of factors primarily determine why entrepreneurs choose some ventures rather than others: head start factors, apparent feasibility, cost factors, and payoff potential of the business. Key questions include how much can be made, how much can be lost, and how likely breakeven can be attained. There are general types of advantages most new companies use to break into the stream of established commerce. The study presents three main economic entry wedges: introduction of a new product of service, parallel competition not involving anything really new but employing lesser differentiation, and franchise entry. Eleven more entry wedges can be regarded to some extent as variants of the main wedges presented. These wedges can be grouped into four categories: exploiting partial momentum, customer sponsorship, parent company sponsorship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B, ( Atlantic International University ) (BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS), course: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT. - Development Studies, language: English, abstract: A project comprise a series of activities (investments) that aim at solving problems within a given time frame with a clear set of objectives for man’s benefit. It is an undertaking that involves the commitment of scarce resources in the expectation of future benefits. According to Heagney (2012: 2), a project should have a definite starting and end point (time), a budget (cost), or a certain magnitude of work and specific performance. Before achieving the objectives, a project goes through several stages of a project cycle. The Project life Cycle refers to a logical sequence of activities to accomplish the project’s goals or objectives. Regardless of scope or complexity, any project goes through a series of stages during its life. The first stage is the birth phase or Identification. In this stage the outputs and critical success factors are defined. This is followed by a Planning phase, characterized by breaking down the project into smaller parts/tasks. In the Execution phase, the project plan is executed, and lastly a Closure or Exit phase, marks the completion of the project. The project cycle has seven stages, each stage links with the preceding one and leads forward to the next one. These include Identification, Preparation, Appraisal, Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation and winding up.[...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional business analysis jobs are going away and are not coming back. BA tools are growing up, and typical BA tasks are being automated and commoditized. Instead of being regarded as documenters, BAs are being sought out to focus on strategy, innovation, and leadership. Breakthrough Business Analysis: Implementing and Sustaining a Value-Based Practice provides a framework for implementing a BA practice that is strategically positioned and value-based. Realizing the positive impacts of a value-based BA practice could very well mean the difference between success and failure for businesses negotiating 21st century challenges. Value-based business analysis centers on strategy execution, world-class enterprise capabilities, and delivery of innovative products and services. The framework for implementing and sustaining a value-based BA practice involves three phases: 1. Readiness: “Is our organization ready?” 2. Implementation: “How do we build the BA practice?” 3. Sustainability: “How do we institutionalize and continue to improve BA practices?” Take the lead and be your organization's champion of a value-based, breakthrough BA practice that is focused on value to the customer and wealth to the bottom line.

The case studies are rich in data and provide great opportunities for students to apply the techniques covered and to propose innovative solutions to open-ended project assignments.
Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.
