Entrepreneurs have clear goals! Entrepreneurs have a single great idea! Entrepreneurs have a lot of money! Entrepreneurs have to keep their ideas secret! Entrepreneurs are strategic about profits! Entrepreneurs need a clear business plan! Entrepreneurs depend on luck to succeed! Entrepreneurs are born, not made! Entrepreneurs can predict the future! Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction • • • • Everyone can be an entrepreneur! Entrepreneurs learn to deal with uncertainty. Entrepreneurs (co-) create the future based on what and whom they know! Entrepreneurship is iterative! The 10 Myths of Entrepreneurship https://youtu.be/G8gRkJ9cnzo Entrepreneurial mindset “Entrepreneurship is the mindset and process to create and develop economic activity by blending risk-taking, creativity and/or innovation with sound management, within a new or an existing organisation.” European Commission. 2003. Green Paper: Entrepreneurship in Europe. Brussels: European Commission. Entrepreneurial mindset of habitual entrepreneurs: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Passionately seeking new opportunities. Pursuing opportunities with enormous discipline. Pursuing only the very best opportunities (and avoid chasing every opportunity). Focusing on adaptive execution. Engaging the energies of everyone in their domain. McGrath, R. G., & MacMillan, I. C. 2000. The Entrepreneurial Mindset: Strategies for Continuously Creating Opportunity in an Age of Uncertainty. Boston, MA: Harvard Business Press. 9 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction What is “entrepreneurship”? The discovery, evaluation and exploitation of opportunities to create future goods and services. Entrepreneurship has to do with: • the sources of opportunities; • the process of discovery, evaluation, and exploitation of opportunities; • the individuals who discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities. Shane, S., & Venkataraman, S. 2000. The promise of entrepreneurship as a field of research. Academy of Management Review, 25(1): 217-226. 10 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Entrepreneurial opportunities “Entrepreneurial opportunities are those situations in which new goods, services, raw materials, and organizing methods [i.e., innovations] can be introduced and sold at greater than their cost of production” à Being able to sell at price > cost of making Shane, S., & Venkataraman, S. 2000. The promise of entrepreneurship as a field of research. Academy of Management Review, 25(1): 217-226. 11 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction The role of enterprising individuals Entrepreneurs are the set of individuals who discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities. Shane, S., & Venkataraman, S. 2000. The promise of entrepreneurship as a field of research. Academy of Management Review, 25(1): 217-226. Opportunities 12 Inspiration Entrepreneurship Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Activation Enterprising individuals Role of the individual’s prior knowledge The same technology can lead to different opportunities (and business ideas). Based on in-depth case studies of eight sets of entrepreneurs who exploit a single MIT invention on 3D printing, Shane (2000) showed that entrepreneurs discover opportunities related to the information that they already possess. Individuals with different prior knowledge will identify different opportunities, and their entrepreneurial efforts will be organized differently. https://news.mit.edu/2011/3d-printing-0914 Shane, S. 2000. Prior knowledge and the discovery of entrepreneurial opportunities. Organization Science, 11(4): 448-469. 13 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Prior knowledge and the discovery of entrepreneurial opportunities Shane, S. 2000. Prior knowledge and the discovery of entrepreneurial opportunities. Organization Science, 11(4): 448-469. 14 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Escaping the prior knowledge corridor Gruber, M., MacMillan, I. C., & Thompson, J. D. 2013. Escaping the prior knowledge corridor: What shapes the number and variety of market opportunities identified before market entry of technology start-ups? Organization Science, 24(1): 280-300. 15 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Role of founding team in opportunity discovery Founding teams with a more diverse background* identify more and more varied (distant) market opportunities. * In terms of more diverse industry experience and more diverse external knowledge sourcing relationships. Gruber, M., MacMillan, I. C., & Thompson, J. D. 2013. Escaping the prior knowledge corridor: What shapes the number and variety of market opportunities identified before market entry of technology start-ups? Organization Science, 24(1): 280-300. In other words: Diversity in your team will really help you to identify more opportunities, and giving you more diverse options. A profit opportunity is not “all in the head” of an enterprising individual but involves joint action possibilities and team entrepreneurship. Harper, D. A. 2008. Towards a theory of entrepreneurial teams. Journal of Business Venturing, 23(6): 613-626. 16 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Where do opportunities come from? Search and discovery – “out there” Create and transform – “in here” 17 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Search and discovery – “out there” Where are new opportunities found? • Variations in type, amount, and availability of information • External changes in our environment • • • • • • • • • 18 Technological change e.g. inventions like telephone, elevator, microchip, ... Enable people to do things in new and more productive ways Political and regulatory change e.g. deregulation in airline industry, regulation of CO2 emissions More productive use of resources or redistribute wealth Social and demographic change e.g. trends and fashions, aging populations, migration, economic development Alter demand and generate new consumer groups Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Create and transform – “in here” How are new opportunities created? From who you are, what you know, and whom you know From new means and goals that stakeholders bring on board • • • • • • • • • • • 19 Start with your knowledge and networks e.g. background, education, experience, hobbies, friends, colleagues, etc Focus on the resources available to you Commit stakeholders e.g. get money for prototype or small batch production, make contracts with future customers, negotiate product specifications Enter stakeholder negotiations and reach commitments about new resources and new goals Iterative process of creation and transformation e.g. investor/customer feedback, experimentation, prototype evaluation Create new products, ventures, or even markets through action, interaction, and transformation Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Search and select – ”out there” Opportunity = Idea + Action Create and transform – ”in here” 20 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Finding the “right” idea • • Demand-pull idea: Responding to a customer need or problem Technology-push idea: Applying new solution to a problem The problem Your solution Your knowledge Clarysse, B., & Kiefer, S. 2011.

They are global, sustained and macro-economic forces of development that impact business, economy, society, cultures and personal lives, defining our future world and its increasing pace of change. Once in place, megatrends influence a wide range of activities, processes and perceptions, both in government and in society, possibly for decades. 24 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Why are megatrends important? • • • Megatrends have different meanings and impacts for different industries, companies and individuals. Implications for companies’ future strategy, development and innovation processes, service and product development. Implications for entrepreneurs: • • • 25 Megatrends can be used to identify relevant signals and drivers that might impact (potential) customers and markets. Megatrends can be used as a basis for strategic decision making. Megatrends can help to identify and focus on the “right” problems. Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction How to explore problems & solutions? Creative thinking refers to how people approach problems and solutions: • Their capacity to put existing ideas together in new combinations; • The skill itself depends on personality as well as on how a person thinks and works. 26 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Amabile. 1998.

The flow experience can be viewed as an optimal experience of intense involvement, focus, and satisfaction in the present moment, and one that, according to research, is involved with higher levels of performance (Csíkszentmihályi, 1990). Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing darts.

TEAM FLOW Team flow is the shared experience in which all team members are completely involved in a collaboration towards a gratifying and challenging common task. During this moment of optimal collaboration, they perceive adequate abilities to cope with the challenging situation and they have the feeling that their collaboration runs smoothly, effortlessly, and consistently makes progress (van den Hout & Davis, 2021) OurIntroduction conception to Technology of anEntrepreneurship “optimized” (1ZEUB0) team dynamic is ofone that is typified by seven encyclopedia the possible.

In this definition, ‘shared’ means that individual team members are experiencing flow simultaneously and collectively while executing their tasks for the team's purpose(s). Seven prerequisites and four experiential characteristics typify our conception of an “optimized” team dynamic. 43 Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship (1ZEUB0) Lecture 1: Introduction Van den Hout, J.J.J., Davis, O.C.
