Era
Large-scale entrepreneurs emerged in the second half of the 1800s—the Entrepreneurship Era. They built business empires, created enormous wealth, and raised the standard of living for the entire country. Yet success came with a price. Jobs became more specialized—increasing productivity while lowering costs and prices.
Steps
It is useful to break the entrepreneurial process into five phases: idea generation, opportunity evaluation, planning, company formation/launch and growth. These phases are summarized in this table, and the Opportunity Evaluation and Planning steps are expanded in greater detail below.
Strategy
Entrepreneurial strategy is the means through which an organization establishes and re- establishes its fundamental set of relationships with its environment. It is strategy characterized by widespread and more-or-less simultaneous change in the pattern of decisions taken by an organization.
Experience
In essence, entrepreneurship is an experience consisting of large numbers of key events such as a first sale, hiring a first employee, losing a big account – events that are processed and made sense of by the entrepreneur.
