Introduction to the Seminar


What is Entrepreneurship?
─  Key Elements of Entrepreneurship
─  Risk and Uncertainty
─  Thinking about Applications for a Technology
─  Success Factors in Implementation

Entrepreneurship at TUM

Course Admin
23
Entrepreneurship is the process of creating something
new and assuming the risks and rewards.

Four aspects of being an entrepreneur:
•  Involves creation process
•  Requires devotion of time and effort 
•  Involves rewards of being an entrepreneur 
•  Requires assumption of necessary risks

24
Key elements of entrepreneurship

 Mining on the moon
How do these two business ideas differ?
§  Risk: when the probability of an outcome is possible to
calculate or is knowable
§  Uncertainty: when the probability of an outcome is not
possible to determine or is unknowable (Knight, 1921)

Risk Uncertainty

30
Summary of Technology
§  Applies the concept of focusing
light to the area of sound
§  Traditional speakers do not allow
targeted use – sound spreads out
widely and without control
§  HSS focuses sound and thus
directs its use
§  Non-target areas remain perfectly
silent

Maissenhälter, Reetz – Alexy, Milanov
 Kick-off
What applications / business
opportunities do you see for this
technology?
32
Selected Applications
§  Advertising: targeted ads at specific spots
§  Concerts: same audio quality and volume throughout the venue
§  Military: decoy sounds, psychological warfare, physical weapon
§  Noise reduction: uses for e.g., snoring or road noise
§  Cars: separate entertainment zones
