Misconceptions About Entrepreneurship
1. Successful entrepreneurship needs
only a great idea
2. Entrepreneurship is easy
3. Entrepreneurship is a risky gamble
4. Entrepreneurship is found only in small
businesses
5. Entrepreneurial ventures and small
businesses are the same thing
Entrepreneurship: A Mindset
• Entrepreneurship is more than the mere
creation of business:
– Seeking opportunities
– Taking risks beyond security
– Having the tenacity to push an idea
through to reality
• Entrepreneurship is an integrated concept
that permeates an individual’s business in
an innovative manner.
The Evolution of Entrepreneurship
• Entrepreneur is derived from the French
entreprendre, meaning “to undertake.”
– The entrepreneur is one who undertakes
to organize, manage, and assume the
risks of a business.
– Although no single definition of
entrepreneur exists and no one profile can
represent today’s entrepreneur, research
is providing an increasingly sharper focus
on the subject.
Entrepreneurship
(Robert C. Ronstadt) :
– A dynamic process of vision, change, and creation
for Incremental Wealth.
– This wealth is created by individuals who assume
major risks in terms of equity, time, and/or career
commitment of providing value for a product or
service.
– The product or service itself may or may not be
new or unique but the entrepreneur must somehow
infuse value by securing and allocating the
necessary skills and resources.
– Requires an application of energy and passion
towards the creation and implementation of new
ideas and creative solutions
Entrepreneurship : Essential
ingredients include:
• The willingness to take calculated risks—
in terms of time, equity, or career.
• The ability to formulate an effective
venture team; the creative skill to marshal
needed resources.
• The fundamental skills of building a solid
business plan.
• The vision to recognize opportunity where
others see chaos, contradiction, and
confusion.

to economic development through
benefits such as product-process
innovation

Beyond Economic Rationality,” Journal of Private Enterprise IX(2) (1993): 71.

motive varies in entrepreneurs’
desire for wealth.

security

commitments of work and family

of failure on the well-being of
entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurial Motivation,” Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (spring 1994): 33.
A Model of Entrepreneurial Motivation
Opportunity Identification:
The Search for New Ideas
• Opportunity identification is central to
entrepreneurship and involves:
– The creative pursuit of ideas
– The innovation process
• The first step for any entrepreneur is
the identification of a “good idea.”
– The search for good ideas is never
easy.
– Opportunity recognition can lead to
both personal and societal wealth.
Entrepreneurial
Imagination and
Creativity
• How entrepreneurs do what they do:
– Creative thinking + systematic analysis = success
– Seek out unique opportunities to fill needs and wants
– Turn problems into opportunities
– Recognize that problems are to solutions what demand
is to supply
The Role of Creative Thinking
• Creativity
– The generation of ideas that result in the improved
efficiency or effectiveness of a system.
• Two important aspects of creativity exist:
– Process
• The process is goal oriented; it is designed to
attain a solution to a problem.
– People
• The resources that determine the solution.
The Critical Thinking Process
The Creative Climate
• Characteristics of a creative climate:
– A trustful management that does not overcontrol the personnel
– Open channels of communication among all business members
– Considerable contact and communication with outsiders
– A large variety of personality types
– A willingness to accept change
– An enjoyment in experimenting with new ideas
– Little fear of negative consequences for making a mistake
– The selection and promotion of employees on the basis of merit
– The use of techniques that encourage ideas, including suggestion systems and
brainstorming
– Sufficient financial, managerial, human, and time resources for accomplishing
goals
Innovation and the Entrepreneur
• Innovation:
– Is the process by which entrepreneurs convert
opportunities into marketable ideas.
– Is a combination of the vision to create a good
idea and the perseverance and dedication to
remain with the concept through
implementation.
– Is a key function in the entrepreneurial process.
– Is the specific function of entrepreneurship.
Process

– Invention
– Extension
– Duplication
– Synthesis
• Sources of Innovation

Extension New use or different
application of an already
existing product, service,
or process

Duplication Creative replication of an
