Creating new technology and innovation is crucial for many firms,
regardless of their size or age (critical to break into an established
market or to create a new market, developing a product that is
highly differentiated from existing products and one that creates
substantial value for customers).
To build new economic, social, institutional, and cultural
environments and thereby provide significant benefits to society.
To understand the ways in which criminal law and official
regulations affect the activities of business.
The investor find the venture’s potential attractive (the skills and
experience of the venture’s key people and their ability to deliver
the potential that the venture has).
4. Challenges of Growth
There is a set of challenges that affect all stages of a
firm’s growth. Furthermore, the challenges illustrate that
no firm grows in a competitive vacuum.
As a business grows and takes market share away from
rival firms, there will be a certain amount of retaliation
that takes place. This is an aspect of challenges that an
entrepreneur needs to be aware of and plan for.
