What is Entrepreneurship?
1-4
Academic Definition (Stevenson & Jarillo)
– Entrepreneurship is the process by which individuals pursue
opportunities without regard to resources they currently
control.
Venture Capitalist (Fred Wilson)
– Entrepreneurship is the art of turning an idea into a business.
Explanation of What Entrepreneurs Do
– Entrepreneurs assemble and then integrate all the resources
needed – the money, the people, the business model, the
strategy – to transform an invention or an idea into a viable
business.

Indications of Increased Interest
in Entrepreneurship
• Books
– Amazon.com lists over 35,600 books dealing with
entrepreneurship and 62,700 focused on small business.
• College Courses
– In 1985, there were about 250 entrepreneurship courses
offered across all colleges in the United States.
– Today, more than 2,000 colleges and universities in the
United States (which is about two-thirds of the total) offer
at least one course in entrepreneurship.

Corporate Entrepreneurship
1 of 2
• Corporate Entrepreneurship
• the concept of corporate entrepreneurship is
generally believed to refer to the development of
new ideas and opportunities within large or
established businesses, directly leading to the
improvement of organizational profitability and
an enhancement of competitive position or the
strategic renewal of an existing business.
– Is the conceptualization of entrepreneurship at the firm
level.
1-8
– All firms fall along a conceptual continuum that ranges
from highly conservative to highly entrepreneurial.
– The position of a firm on this continuum is referred to as its
entrepreneurial intensity. Firms with higher entrepreneurial
intensity regularly look for ways to cut bureaucracy.
– For example, Virgin Group, the large British conglomerate,
works hard to keep its units small and instill in them an
entrepreneurial spirit.

The Role of Entrepreneurship in
Economic Growth.
• In order for Entrepreneurs to thrive in a
nation, the Government must play
important role in creating the kind of
business environment that create the
basis for growth, stability and future
success of entrepreneurs.
1-13
ENTREPRENEURSHIP’S
IMPORTANCE
• Entrepreneurship’s importance to an economy and the society
in which it resides was first articulated in 1934 by Joseph
Schumpeter, an Austrian economist who did the majority of his
work at Harvard University. In his book The Theory of
Economic Development, Schumpeter argued that entrepreneurs
develop new products and technologies that over time make
current products and technologies obsolete. Schumpeter called
this process creative destruction. Because new products and
technologies are typically better than those they replace and the
availability of improved products and technologies increases
consumer demand, creative destruction stimulates economic
activity. The new products and technologies may also increase
the productivity of all elements of a society.
1-14
• The creative destruction process is initiated most effectively
by start-up ventures that improve on what is currently
available. Small firms that practice this art are often called
“innovators” or “agents of change.” The process of creative
destruction is not limited to new products and technologies; it
can include new pricing strategies (e.g., Netflix in DVDs),
new distribution channels (such as e-books for books), or new
retail formats (such as IKEA in furniture and Whole Foods
Market in groceries).
1-15
Economic Impact of Entrepreneurial Firms
• Innovation
– Is the process of creating something new, which is central to
the entrepreneurial process.
– Several studies have found that small businesses outperform
their larger counterparts in terms of obtaining patents.
Small Business Administration report, small firms (fewer than
500 employees) are providers of a significant share of the
innovations that take place in the United States. In addition,
several studies funded by the Office of Advocacy for the
Small Business Administration have found that small
businesses outperform their larger counterparts in terms of
patent activity (issuance).
1-16
• Job Creation
– Small businesses are the creators of most new jobs in the
U.S., and employ half of all private sector employees.
– According to a Kauffman Foundation survey, 92% of
Americans say entrepreneurs are critically important to job
creation. A total of 75 percent believe that the United States
cannot have a sustained economic recovery without another
burst of entrepreneurial activity.
– Collectively, new firms add an average of 3 million jobs to
the U.S. economy during their first year, while older
companies lose 1 million jobs annually
1-17
Entrepreneurial Firms’ Impact on Society
and Larger Firms
• Impact on Society
– The innovations of entrepreneurial firms have a dramatic
impact on society.
– Think of all the new products and services that make our
lives easier, enhance our productivity at work, improve our
health, and entertain us in new ways.
• Impact on Larger Firms
– Many entrepreneurial firms have built their entire business
models around producing products and services that help
larger firms become more efficient and effective.
1-18
• For example, Amgen, an entrepreneurial firm that helped
pioneer the biotechnology industry, has produced a number of
drugs that have dramatically improved people’s lives. An
example is NEUPOGEN, a drug that decreases the incidence
of infection in cancer patients who are undergoing
chemotherapy treatment. In addition to improved health care,
consider smartphones, social networks, Internet shopping,
overnight package delivery, and digital photography. All these
products are new to this generation, yet it’s hard to imagine
our world without them. However, innovations do create moral
and ethical issues with which societies are forced to grapple.
For example, bar-code scanner technology and the Internet
have made it easier for companies to track the purchasing
behavior of their customers, but this raises privacy concerns.
Similarly, bioengineering has made it easier to extend the shelf
1-19
the shelf life of many food products, but some researchers and
consumers question the long-term health implications of
bioengineered foods.
Impact on Larger Firms
– Many entrepreneurial firms have built their entire business
models around producing products and services that help
larger firms become more efficient and effective.
• For example, some entrepreneurial firms are original
equipment manufacturers, producing parts that go into
products that larger firms manufacture and sell. Thus, many
exciting new products, such as smart phones, digital cameras,
and improved prescription drugs, are not solely the result of
the efforts of larger companies with strong brand names, such
as Samsung, Canon, and Johnson & Johnson. They were
produced with the cutting-edge component parts or research
and development efforts provided by entrepreneurial firms. 1-20

Why Become an Entrepreneur?
Financial rewards
1-22
-Desire to be their own boss-
Entrepreneurs want to be their own boss because either they
have had a long time ambition to own their own firm or
because they have become frustrated working in traditional
jobs.
-Pursue their own ideas-
The second reason people start their own firms is to pursue their
own ideas. Some people are naturally alert, and when they
recognize ideas for new products or services, they have a
desire to see those ideas realized. Corporate entrepreneurs who
innovate within the context of an existing firm typically have a
mechanism for their ideas to become known.
Established firms, however, often resist innovation. When this
happens, employees are left with good ideas that go unfulfilled
1-23
Because of their passion and commitment, some employees
choose to leave the firm employing them in order to start their
own business as the means to develop their own ideas.
Pursue Financial Rewards -Finally, people start their own firms
to pursue financial rewards. This motivation, however, is
typically secondary to the first two and often fails to live up to
its hype. The average entrepreneur does not make more money
than someone with a similar amount of responsibility in a
traditional job. The financial lure of entrepreneurship is its
upside potential. People such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com,
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, and Larry Page and Sergey
Brin of Google made hundreds of millions of dollars building
their firms. Money is also a unifier. Making a profit and
increasing the value of a company is a solidifying goal that
people can rally around. But money is rarely the primary
motivation behind the launch of an entrepreneurial firm.

Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs
2 of 3
1-26
1.The ability to learn and iterate -Founders don’t have all the
answers. It takes passion and drive to solicit feedback, make
necessary changes, and move forward. The changes won’t
always be obvious. Passion makes the search for the right
answers invigorating and fun.
2. A willingness to work hard for an extended period of time
Commonly, entrepreneurs work longer hours than people with
traditional jobs. You can only do that, on a sustained basis, if
you’re passionate about what you’re doing.
3. Ability to overcome setbacks and “no’s” It’s rare that an
entrepreneur doesn’t experience setbacks and hear many “no’s”
from potential customers, investors, and others while building an
entrepreneurial business or social enterprise. The energy to
continue comes from passion for an idea.
1-27
4. The ability to listen to feedback on the limitations of your
organization and yourself You’ll meet plenty of people along
the way—some with good intentions and some without—who
will tell you how to improve your organization and how to
improve yourself. You have to be willing to listen to the
people with good intentions and make changes if it helps. You
have to be able to brush aside feedback from people with bad
intentions without letting them get you down.
5. Perseverance and persistence when the going gets tough
Perseverance and persistence come from passion. As an
entrepreneur, you’ll have down days. Building an
entrepreneurial organization is fraught with challenges.
Passion is what provides an entrepreneur the motivation to get
through tough times.
1-28
• 2.Product/Customer Focus-
• A second defining characteristic of successful entrepreneurs is a
product/customer focus.
• A product/customer focus also involves the diligence to spot product
opportunities and to see them through to completion. The idea for
the Apple Macintosh, for example, originated in the early 1980s
when Steven Jobs and several other Apple employees took a tour of
a Xerox research facility. They were astounded to see computers that
displayed graphical icons and pull-down menus. The computers also
allowed users to navigate desktops using a small, wheeled device
called a mouse. Jobs decided to use these innovations to create the
Macintosh, the first user-friendly computer. Throughout the two and
one-half years the Macintosh team developed this new product, it
maintained an intense product/customer focus, creating a high-
quality computer that is easy to learn, is fun to use, and meets
the needs of a wide audience of potential users.
1-29
• Tenacity Despite Failure
– Because entrepreneurs are typically trying something new,
the failure rate is naturally high.
– A defining characteristic for successful entrepreneurs is their
ability to persevere through setbacks and failures.
Developing a new business idea may require a certain degree of
experimentation before a success is attained. Setbacks and
failures inevitably occur during this process. The litmus test
for entrepreneurs is their ability to persevere through
setbacks and failures.
• Execution Intelligence-The ability to fashion a solid business
idea into a viable business is a key characteristic of successful
entrepreneurs.An ancient Chinese saying warns, “To open a
business is very easy; to keep it open is very difficult”.
1-30
• The ability to effectively execute a business idea means
developing a business model, putting together a new venture
team, raising money, establishing partnerships, managing
finances, leading and motivating employees, and so on. It also
demands the ability to translate thought, creativity, and
imagination into action and measurable results.
• Howard Schultz, the entrepreneur who purchased Starbucks in
1987, was his recognition of the fact that most Americans
didn’t have a place to enjoy coffee in a comfortable, quiet
setting. Seeing a great opportunity to satisfy customers’ needs,
Schultz attacked the marketplace aggressively to make
Starbucks the industry leader and to establish a national brand.
First, he hired a seasoned management team, constructed a
world-class roasting facility to supply his outlets with
premium coffee beans, and focused on building an effective
organizational infrastructure.
1-31
• Then Schultz recruited a management information systems
expert from McDonald’s to design a point-of-sale system
capable of tracking consumer purchases across 300 outlets.
This decision was crucial to the firm’s ability to sustain rapid
growth over the next several years. Starbucks succeeded
because Howard Schultz knew how to execute a business idea.
He built a seasoned management team, implemented an
effective strategy, and used information technology wisely to
make his business thrive. These fundamental aspects of
execution excellence should serve Schultz and Starbucks when
it comes to dealing with the competitive challenges facing the
firm in 2011 and beyond. In contrast to what Schultz has
accomplished at Starbucks,

• According to an Index of Entrepreneurial Activity maintained
by the Kauffman Foundation, 26% of entrepreneurs are ages
20 to 34, 25 % are ages 35 to 44, 25 % are ages 45 to 54, and
23 % are ages 55 to 64. The biggest jump, by far, from 1996 to
2010, which is the period the Kauffman date covers, is the 55
to 64 age bracket. A total of 14 % of entrepreneurs were 55 to
64 years old in 1996, compared to 23 % in 2010. The
increasing number of older-aged entrepreneurs is a big change
in the entrepreneurial landscape in the United States.
• What makes an entrepreneur “strong” in the eyes of an
investor is experience in the area of the proposed business,
skills and abilities that will help the business, a solid
reputation, a track record of success, and passion about
the business idea
1-38
• Myth 5: Entrepreneurs love the spotlight- Indeed, some
entrepreneurs are flamboyant; however, the vast majority of
them do not attract public attention. In fact, many
entrepreneurs, because they are working on proprietary
products or services, avoid public notice. These entrepreneurs,
like most, have either avoided attention or been passed over by
the popular press. They defy the myth that entrepreneurs, more
so than other groups in our society, love the spotlight.
• Bill Gates of Microsoft, Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com, Steve
Jobs of Apple Inc., Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and maybe

The Entrepreneurial Process
1-41
• Some entrepreneurs are impatient and don’t want to spend the
time it takes to write a business plan. This approach is usually
a mistake. Writing a business plan forces an entrepreneur to
think carefully through all the aspects of a business venture. It
also helps a new venture establish a set of milestones that can
be used to guide the early phases of the business rollout.
Industry and competitor analysis is our concern in .Knowing
the industry in which a firm will choose to compete is crucial
to an entrepreneur’s success. Focus on the important topic of
developing an effective business model. A firm’s business
model is its plan for how it competes, uses its resources,
structures its relationships, interfaces with customers, and
creates value to sustain itself on the basis of the profits it
generates.
1-42
• Step 3: Moving from an idea to an entrepreneurial firm.-
• The first step in turning an idea into reality is to prepare a
proper ethical and legal foundation for a firm, including
selecting an appropriate form of business ownership.
Assessing a new venture’s financial strength and viability.
Focus on building a new-venture team. The important task of
getting financing or funding and identifies the options that a
firm has for raising money.
• Step 4: Managing and growing the entrepreneurial firm.
The unique marketing issues facing entrepreneurial firms,
including selecting an appropriate target market, building a
brand, and the four Ps—product, price, promotion, and place
(or distribution)—for new firms. The important role of
intellectual property in the growth of entrepreneurial firms.
1-43
More and more, the value of “know-how” exceeds the value of a
company’s physical assets. In addition, protecting business
ideas through intellectual property statutes, such as patents,
trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. Preparing for and

ranging from new product development to mergers and

Micro View: Internal Locus of Control (cont’d)
• The Entrepreneurial Trait School of Thought
Focuses on identifying traits common to successful
entrepreneurs.
• Achievement, creativity, determination, and technical
knowledge
• The Venture Opportunity School of Thought
Focuses on the opportunity aspect of venture
development—the search for idea sources, the
development of concepts, and the implementation of
venture opportunities.
• Corridor principle: New pathways or opportunities will arise
that lead entrepreneurs in different directions.

Types of Start-Up Firms
• Salary-substitute firms- Dry cleaners, convenience stores,
restaurants, accounting firms, retail stores, and hairstyling
salons are examples of salary-substitute firms. The vast
majority of small businesses fit into this category. Salary-
substitute firms offer common, easily available products or
services to customers that are not particularly innovative.
• Lifestyle firms- Lifestyle firms include ski instructors, golf
and tennis pros, wine bars, and tour guides. These firms are
not innovative, nor do they grow quickly. Commonly, lifestyle
companies promote a particular sport, hobby, or pastime and
may employ only the owner or just a handful of people.
• Entrepreneurial firms- Google, Facebook, and Zynga are
well-known, highly successful examples of entrepreneurial
firms. Having recognized an opportunity, the entrepreneurs
leading companies of this type create products and services
that have worth, that are important to their customers, and that

Working Together: How Biotech Firms and Large Drug
Companies Bring Pharmaceutical Products to Market
• Large firms and smaller entrepreneurial firms play different roles in business
and society and can often produce the best results by partnering with each
other rather than acting as adversaries. The pharmaceutical industry is an
excellent example of how this works. It is well-known that barriers to entry in
the pharmaceutical industry are high. The average new product takes
between 10 and 15 years from discovery to commercial sale. The process
of discovering, testing, obtaining approval, manufacturing, and marketing a
new drug is long and expensive. How, then, do biotech start-ups make it?
The answer is that few biotech firms actually take their products to market.
Here’s how it works. Biotech firms specialize in discovering and patenting
new drugs—it’s what they’re good at. In most cases, however, they have
neither the money nor the know-how to bring the products to market. In
contrast, the large drug companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and
Merck, specialize in developing and marketing drugs and providing
information to doctors about them. It’s what they are good at. But these
companies typically don’t have the depth of scientific talent and the
entrepreneurial zeal that the small biotech firms do.
1-71
• These two types of firms need one another to be as
successful as possible. Often, but not always, what
happens is this. The biotech firms discover and patent
new drugs, and the larger drug companies develop them
and bring them to market. Biotech firms earn money
through this arrangement by licensing or selling their
patent-protected discoveries to the larger companies or
by partnering with them in some revenue-sharing way.
The large drug companies make money by selling the
products to consumers. The most compelling partnership
arrangements are those that help entrepreneurial firms
focus on what they do best, which is typically innovation,
and that allow them to tap into their partners’
complementary strengths and resources.
1-72
• Questions for Critical Thinking 1. In your opinion, what
factors in the business environment encourage firms to
partner to compete? 2. What risks do small firms face
when partnering with large, successful companies? What
risks do large companies take when they rely on small
firms as a source of innovation? 3. How might
government policies affect partnering actions between
small and large firms in the pharmaceutical industry? 4.
If you worked for an entrepreneurial venture, what would
you want to know about a large firm before
recommending that your firm form a partnership with that
large, established company?
