Entrepreneurship won’t
work in Turkey…
Whatever works in USA won’t work here…
No one will invest here in a new business…
Holdings will destroy you once your business becomes
significant enough…
There is no legal protection, intellectual property rights…
They will copy you, all your efforts will go to waste…
Government will back their supporters, will damage you if
you don’t work with them…
You can’t overcome the government bureaucracy…
When there is corruption, the mafia you can’t be in
business honestly…
If you are a minority partner, they will cheat you…
etc…

Spin-Off Companies…
In 2000, there were 454 spinoffs, within all American academic
institutions, pp57
In 2000, average was 4.2% spinoffs-to-disclosures ratio
within 26 selected universities (~37% of total with spinoffs) in
USA. Pp68
During 1980-1996, MIT spinoffs = 134, went public = 24, 18%
public “spin-off ratio, pp19 & pp30
Using 4.2% and 18%, we get 0.3%. This means only 3
spinoffs for each 1,000 disclosures succeed to go public (IPO).
(Note that this ratio is for MIT and is much higher than non-
academic success rates. However, the rate for VC backed
companies is 100 times worse!)
Moreover, during 1980-1996, average years to IPO for 24 MIT
spinoffs equaled 4.5 pp30

Entrepreneurship is a
Strong Driver of Economy
Approximately 4% of US labor force is
involved in starting a new company every
year.
Business owners in US is 13% of
nonagricultural labor force.
All this, despite the odds – 40% of new
businesses started in US live over a year,
only 25% survive for 8 years.
Why is Nigeria the most entrepreneurial
country?

Additionally “creative destruction”
is at work; very few Fortune 500

more than a decade or two.

Dr. Edward Demings’
Famous Beads Experiment
The output of a process produces both
random and systematic deviations. By
replacing people or putting a gun at
people’s heads it is not possible to reduce
or eliminate either. Instead, you need to
understand and eliminate the root-causes
of the deviations.

Obviously, something
separates successful
entrepreneurs (inside or
outside companies) from
the masses of others…

Tell a Story…
Narrative stories overcome these issues:
1. Set the stage
(who are the actors)
2. Define dramatic conflict
(difficulties)
3. Resolution
(how you win)
