Download or read book Entrepreneurial Strategy written by Dean A. Shepherd and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on explaining differences amongst organizations regarding various attributes, forms, and outcomes. By focusing on the “how” of new venture creation and management to produce well-established organizations, the authors aim to increase our understanding of the antecedents of most management research assumptions. New ventures are the source of most newly created jobs generated in an economy, new industries and markets, innovative products and services, and new solutions to economic, social, and environmental problems. However, most management research assumes a well-established organization as the starting point of their theorizing. Building on the notion of guided attention, it details how entrepreneurs can allocate their transient attention to identify potential opportunities from environmental change and how entrepreneurs allocate their sustained attention to form beliefs about radical and incremental opportunities requiring entrepreneurial action. The authors explain how entrepreneurs build such communities and engage community members over time to co-construct potential opportunities for new venture progress. Using the lean startup framework, they connect the dots between the theorizing on identifying and co-constructing potential opportunities and the startup of new ventures. This leads to a new overarching framework based on are (1) co-creating a startup, (2) organizing a startup, and (3) performing a startup to bring together the many disparate threads of research on new ventures. The authors then theorize on the importance of knowledge in organizational scaling. Based on cutting-edge research from the leading entrepreneurship journals, this book expands knowledge on the cognitive aspect of the new venture creation process.

Book excerpt: A prerequisite for good entrepreneurial management is an enterprising attitude on the part of the people involved. Productivity of an organization can only be improved with proper management. The influences of family, social institutions, governance and leadership also play a significant role in the management of an organization. Common managerial challenges such as competition, resource scarcity, shortage of power and capital, technology upgradation and cost of production require the attention of policy makers. Creating and developing an entrepreneurial mindset in people, would help an organization face all challenges to enhancing the life of a product in the marketplace. To motivate people and achieve growth, leaders are required to navigate both internal and external conflicts. Consequently, the role of entrepreneurial leadership and management becomes important for students as well as entrepreneurs. All these issues are dealt with in this volume on entrepreneurial management consisting of 14 papers, written by management professionals, faculty, research scholars, consultants and administrators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective Human Resource Management is the Center for Effective Organizations' (CEO) sixth report of a fifteen-year study of HR management in today's organizations. The only long-term analysis of its kind, this book compares the findings from CEO's earlier studies to new data collected in 2010. Edward E. Lawler III and John W. Boudreau measure how HR management is changing, paying particular attention to what creates a successful HR function—one that contributes to a strategic partnership and overall organizational effectiveness. Moreover, the book identifies best practices in areas such as the design of the HR organization and HR metrics. It clearly points out how the HR function can and should change to meet the future demands of a global and dynamic labor market. For the first time, the study features comparisons between U.S.-based firms and companies in China, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other European countries. With this new analysis, organizations can measure their HR organization against a worldwide sample, assessing their positioning in the global marketplace, while creating an international standard for HR management.

These books embody a pragmatic and practical exploration of idea commercialization, venture creation, market penetration, organizational management, venture growth, strategic positioning, and leadership. Entrepreneurial Management is an in-depth exploration of the skills required to effectively manage an entrepreneurial venture. It opens with the issues involved in buying a business, including the value of hidden assets, the dangers of hidden liabilities, problems in the transferability of goodwill, and business valuation. Finally, the process of a going concern purchase is minutely compared to an asset only purchase. Next, the book dives into franchising, the most rapidly growing business concept. It exposes the fiction of lower failure rates, lays bare the realities for start up franchisees, and explores the power of franchising to support rapid growth. Management of an ongoing operation and human resources, recruiting, training, supervision and evaluation occupy the next two chapters. There is special emphasis on the need for personal time management, and the text presents practical measures which can build compensation programs to attract and retain good personnel even in a cash poor entrepreneurial venture. Management of operational risks, property risks, customer centered risks, and employee centered risks, takes center stage in the next chapter, with an exploration of strategies for mitigation, including insurance and contingency plans. The next chapter features a deep dive into fraud, which the authors believe is the number one cause of failure. The perception of need, fraud opportunities, rationalization, perception of detection, and the role of an ethical climate are explored, and practical fraud prevention strategies close the treatment. Effective inventory management, accounting, controls, and purchasing are explored in the next chapter. Wholesale or retail entrepreneurial ventures will find these issues to be critical to success. Following is a dive into effective management of receivables. Retailers may avoid receivables through credit cards, but many entrepreneurial ventures sell to corporate customers who demand credit. Success mandates understanding credit decisions, credit policy, monitoring, bad debts, and collections. The following chapter explores financial management. Types and sources of financing are presented, from limited partnerships or limited liability companies, to stock in closely held corporations, to permanent financing, trade credit and going public. Loans, from lines of credit, to term loans, to bonds, take their position on the stage, and the role of debt in the risk exposure of the firm is featured, as are retained earnings, maintaining bank relationships, the impact of growth, and financial planning. Production management is critical to the success of a venture involved in fabrication, assembly or manufacturing. Contrary to popular belief, entrepreneurial ventures are prevalent in the fabrication industry and occupy many profitable niches. This chapter dives into design planning, production scheduling, just in time inventory, production control and quality control. The text closes with an exploration of international operations. Misconceptions in foreign trade, finding an export market, finding an import market, e-commerce, and outsourcing are explored in-depth, and the chapter closes with details of finance involved in international trade. The chapter presents practical advice for expansion into international trade for entrepreneurs from any country.

Drawing on his experiences over the past five years working with these organizations, as well as nonprofits, NGOs, and governments, Ries lays out a system of entrepreneurial management that leads organizations of all sizes and from every industry to sustainable growth and long-term impact.
