Download or read book BETTER VETREPRENEURSHIP written by Charles Faint and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military veteran entrepreneurs, also known as vetrepreneurs, form a unique entrepreneurial community based in part on their military-related skills and life experiences, the financial endowments derived from their service, and external influences like professional mentors and government-provided training programs. However, a research gap exists in the examination of the degree to which these factors meaningfully influence successful outcomes for military veterans who become small business entrepreneurs. Therefore, the research question for this project was: what experiences, endowments, and external influences impact successful entrepreneurial outcomes for small business vetrepreneurs? This exploratory research consisted of a mixed-methods approach involving a quantitative pilot study that included a survey of 70 veteran small business entrepreneurs (Study 1), and a qualitative case method study that included detailed interviews with 6 additional veteran entrepreneurs (Study 2). Among the findings in Study 1 were that military service is an advantage to vetrepreneurs, but traits such as education, military rank, job held in the military, and financial endowments were not. As discovered in Study 2, however, things like networking, passion for one's business, and understanding administrative aspects of business are important contributors to successful outcomes. The implications for this research include potential updates to military pre-separation training programs, as well as providing useful data for both researchers and current or future vetrepreneurs. Keywords: Veteran Entrepreneurship, Vetrepreneur, Military Entrepreneurship.
Download or read book What Factors Make Military Veterans Likely to Become Entrepreneurs written by Parker McCumber and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military veterans own nearly 10% of businesses in the United States and are substantially more likely to become entrepreneurs and start their own businesses than their civilian counterparts who lack military experience. The purpose of this study was to explore what traits, factors, and training may have impacted the likelihood and probability of a veteran service-member becoming an entrepreneur and making the decision to start their own business or become self-employed. Through this research a theme of five skills and character traits emerged; communication, flexibility, leadership, problem solving, and risk management. These traits and skills are inherent in some individuals but can be developed through training and working experience. Military veterans gain an advantage over civilian peers and counterparts due to the emphasis on training and professional development around those five key areas while involved in military service. The skills of communication, flexibility, leadership, problem solving, and risk management greatly impact one's ability to operate a business and successfully navigate business practices while enhancing the comfortability of an individual in taking on an entrepreneurial role.
