Download or read book Opportunity Recognition written by Andreas Engelen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The textbook contains a comprehensive presentation of tools that can be used to systematically generate innovative ideas for new business growth ("opportunities"). In practice, it can be observed that companies make considerable efforts to identify ideas for innovations that can decisively shape their industry. The reason for this is not least the knowledge that a missed wave of innovation can lead to major problems for the entire company. A central finding of business management research is that ideas for generating future growth opportunities are often not a product of chance, but the results of systematic analyses. The authors provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the most important tools for identifying new growth opportunities. They distinguish between company-related, market-related and environment-related approaches, incorporate numerous practical examples and provide application-oriented assistance with these tools. The second edition of the book incorporates the latest research findings, some examples have been updated and supplemented, and the book has been expanded to include practical application tasks for teaching and practical workshops.

Download or read book The Entrepreneurial Process written by Nils Nilsson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an understanding of ‘opportunity recognition’ as a catalyst and crux of the entrepreneurial process. Grounded in research, it introduces the key concepts at the heart of entrepreneurship theory and practice and demonstrates how entrepreneurship differs from management in language, priorities and practice. The book’s central framework is mapped around ‘seeing and seizing opportunities’, where the entrepreneur enters a situation, eventually sees an opportunity and takes it through a process of idea development into an actionable entrepreneurial initiative. This captures the book’s four core elements: person(s), environment, opportunity and process. The Entrepreneurial Process is unique in its explanation of how key concepts are related and how they can be applied practically to business models, plans and action. Case studies from real-life organizations, reflective questions and short exercises throughout encourage student learning and enable true engagement with the subject matter, building students’ entrepreneurial efficacy. A ‘one-stop shop’ of key theoretical perspectives on entrepreneurship, opportunity recognition and business modelling, this textbook is essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students on introductory entrepreneurship and enterprise courses. Its practical and applied nature also makes it suitable for MBA and executive education. Online resources include chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides and a test bank of questions.

Download or read book Entrepreneurial Drive and Performance in an Industry Ecosystem written by Simon Kamuri and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will further knowledge and invite the exchange of ideas in academia, policy and practice of entrepreneurship from an ecosystem perspective. It spotlights an increasingly important perspective of understanding and developing individual entrepreneurship that can impact businesses, industries, economies and societies. It uniquely examines the link between individual entrepreneurship and the competitive performance of actors in an industry, using Kenya’s leather industry as an illustrative case. The book provides conceptual models of entrepreneurial drive as a valid construct that should guide understanding and interventions for developing entrepreneurship in academia, practice and policy. Thus, it acknowledges the role of individuals, their entrepreneurial abilities, the diverse roles they play in an industry and the resultant potential in innovation and broad-based performance outcomes. Coming at a time where entrepreneurship and innovation attention are centred on knowledge-based industries, this book uses the case of a primary or factor-driven industry to re-focus attention on an area of economic advantage that is typical of African countries.

This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurs are exceptionally gifted individuals capable of spotting projects, marshaling resources, inventing ideas, taking risks, and forming businesses. Prospective entrepreneurs must be inspired and motivated to pursue self-employment businesses in today’s volatile business environment and highly sophisticated information technologies.

SMEs’ primary challenges are lack of working capital and marketing challenges. Entrepreneurship is a combination of difficult-to-teach skills, attitudes, and knowledge that can be developed. Entrepreneurship Ecosystems and Their Opportunities and Challenges explores and examines the importance of these factors in establishing a virtuous cycle of long-term sustainability in countries worldwide. The book promotes global communities to acquire an entrepreneurial mindset. Covering topics such as crowdfunding experiences, financial solutions, and social enterprises, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs, business leaders, government officials, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
