ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Page 7: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Two Kinds of Entrepreneurship

1. Opportunity – based2. Necessity – based

Young people 25-34 are dominant participants in entrepreneurship.

Page 8: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Two Important Considerations for Entrepreneurs

• INNOVATION / CREATIVITY

• OPPORTUNITY IDENTIFICATION

Page 9: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Continuum of Innovation

Imitative Incremental Evolutionary Radical Revolutionary

The secret to innovation is uncovering an unmet consumer need and the filling it in an innovative, creative way.

Page 10: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Continuum of InnovationImitative: copies something well-known and acceptedIncremental: small improvements; faster, better,

cheaperEvolutionary: new to firm but not to world (i.e.,

technologies in new places)Radical: technologies that give large performance

improvements or lower costsRevolutionary: new to individual, firm, and the world

Best Opportunities between Incremental and Radical

Page 11: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Latest science and technology

Needs in society and the marketplace

Creativity• Production of novel and useful ideas• Discovery of opportunities• Output: new ideas

Innovation• Refining, evaluation and first prototypes of the new ideas• Evaluation of opportunities• Output: prototype

Entrepreneurship• Creation of value in the marketplace• Exploitation of opportunities• Output: new product, service, or process

The Creativity-Innovation-Entrepreneurship Chain

Page 12: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Types of Innovation1. Product: early stage of product life cycle,

innovations are frequent. As rate of product innovation decreases, process innovation increases. (What we make)

2. Process: makes manufacturing more efficient through automation, lowering costs. (How we make it)

Product /Service innovation creates much more new wealth than process innovation!

Page 13: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Three Characteristics of Opportunity

NewnessPotential Economic ValuePerceived Desirability

Opportunity implies something that has not existed or been available before, that can yield potential economic gains, and whose development is consistent with legal and/or moral standards of the society in which it occurs.

Page 14: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

•Alertness •Social Network Ideas•Prior Knowledge

-Of markets-How to service markets-Customer problems-Accumulation over time

A Framework

Page 15: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Basic Propositions Concerning Opportunities

Proposition 1: Opportunities emerge from changes in knowledge, technology, economic, political, social, and demographic conditions.

Proposition 2: Recognition depends on previous experience which enables people to see links between previously unconnected changes, knowledge, or events.

Page 16: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Product Opportunity GapSocial: Social and Cultural trends, Historical trends

Economic:State of the Economy, Level of Disposable Income, Changing Investment Opportunities

Technology:Emerging technologies, Re-evaluating existing technologies

Sustaining vs. Disruptive Technologies

Sustaining technologies focus on improvements of importance to existing customers. Existing companies best with incremental innovation.

Disruptive technologies create a new value proposition, reach new markets and customers. New companies better at disruptive, radical innovation.

Page 21: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

• Competitive Advantage– Something that the firm does better than any of

its competitors.– Goal: To have a sustainable competitive

advantage• Requires that the advantage:

– Must be valued by customers– Not easily duplicated by competitors

Major Strategic Questions

• Should we create our own new technology and innovations internal to the firm?

OR• Should we acquire technology from

external sources like acquisition or strategic alliances?

Page 24: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Dimensions of Internal Innovation

1. Goal of internal innovation is for the firm to outperform its competition.

2. Internal innovation involves many individuals, capabilities, and resources.

3. Resources are critical to the innovation process. (Human, Physical, Financial)

Page 25: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Reasons for Using External Innovation:1. The firm’s product line falling behind competitors.

2. A new competitor enters the market, which will change the dynamics of the industry.

3. The firm discovers its processes are not as efficient and/or effective as those of its competitors.

4. The firm believes its current products or processes are not going to be successful in the future.

5. Expansion into new markets and/or new products is achieved faster.

Management Implications

•Technology shifts before investment recovery•Management focus often fragmented•Engineering strength often misused• Marketing becomes a problem introducing

new technology over the old one•Difficult to manage the ROI in important technology.

• Stop selling, start listening– There are no facts inside your building, so get outside

• Test your hypotheses – Two are fundamental: problem and product concept

“Pivoting” is changing a fundamental part of the business model. It can be simple: recognizing that your product was priced incorrectly. It can be more complex: your target customer needs to change, the feature set is wrong, you chose the wrong sales channel or your customer acquisition programs are ineffective.

Page 41: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

– Goal is to create end-user demand and drive that demand into the sales channel. – Marketing message will be different based on the kind of market being entered and the

customers being sought– Brand building and heavy advertising work in existing markets but not so much in new

markets.

Segmented: different needs and problems; i.e., banks and professional services (engineering, consultants)

Diversified: unrelated segments; i.e., Amazon selling products and providing computer services

Multi-sided platforms: credit card companies; i.e., card holders and merchants

Page 46: TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION Belarus Universities DR. KENT MILLINGTON OCTOBER 2012

Value Proposition: Five Key Values

• Price: Fair, visible, consistent, reasonable.• Access: Convenient location, found in reasonable time.• Service: Ordering, delivery, return, check-out.• Experience: Emotional, respect, ambiance, fun, intimacy.
