What is an
Opportunity? 1 of 2 Opportunity Defined An opportunity is a favorable set of circumstances that creates a need for a new product, service, or business. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-4
5.
What is an
Opportunity? 2 of 2 Four Essential Qualities of an Opportunity Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-5
6.
Three Ways to
Identify an Opportunity Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-6
7.
First Approach: Observing
Trends 1 of 2 • Observing Trends – Trends create opportunities for entrepreneurs to pursue. – The most important trends are: • Economic forces • Social forces • Technological advances • Political and regulatory change – It’s important to be aware of changes in these areas. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-7
8.
First Approach: Observing
Trends 2 of 2 Environmental Trends Suggesting Business or Product Opportunity Gaps Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-8
9.
Trend 1: Economic
Forces Economic trends help determine areas that are ripe for new start-ups and areas that start-ups should avoid. Example of Economic Trend Creating a Favorable Opportunity • A weak economy favors start-ups that help consumers save money. • An example is GasBuddy.com, a company started to help consumers save money on gas. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-9
10.
Trend 2: Social
Forces Social trends alter how people and businesses behave and set their priorities. These trends provide opportunities for new businesses to accommodate the changes. Examples of Social Trends • Aging of the population. • The increasing diversity of the workplace. • Increased participation in social networks. • Growth in the uses of mobile devices. • An increasing focus on health and wellness. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-10
11.
Trend 3: Technological
Advances 1 of 2 Advances in technology frequently create business opportunities. Examples of Entire Industries that Have Been Created as the Result of Technological Advances • Computer industry • Internet • Biotechnology • Digital photography Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-11
12.
Trend 3: Technological
Advances 2 of 2 Once a technology is created, products often emerge to advance it. Example: H20Audio An example is H20Audio, a company started by four former San Diego State University students, that makes waterproof housings and earbuds for the Apple iPhone. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-12
13.
Trend 4: Political
Action and Regulatory Changes 1 of 2 Political action and regulatory changes also provide the basis for opportunities. General Example Laws to protect the environment have created opportunities for entrepreneurs to start firms that help other firms comply with environmental laws and regulations. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-13
14.
Trend 4: Political
Action and Regulatory Changes 2 of 2 Company created to help other companies comply with the law. Specific Example OSHA is a government agency that formulates and enforces safety, health, and environmental regulations for the workplace. Safety Compliance Company was started to help other companies comply with OSHA regulations. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-14
15.
Second Approach: Solving
a Problem 1 of 2 • Solving a Problem – Sometimes identifying opportunities simply involves noticing a problem and finding a way to solve it. – These problems can be pinpointed through observing trends and through more simple means, such as intuition, serendipity, or change. – Many companies have been started by people who have experienced a problem in their own lives, and then realized that the solution to the problem represented a business opportunity. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-15
16.
Second Approach: Solving
a Problem 2 of 2 • A problem facing the U.S. and other countries is finding alternatives to fossil fuels. • A large number of entrepreneurial firms, like this wind farm, are being launched to solve this problem. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-16
17.
Third Approach: Finding
Gaps in the Marketplace 1 of 2 • Gaps in the Marketplace – A third approach to identifying opportunities is to find a gap in the marketplace. – A gap in the marketplace is often created when a product or service is needed by a specific group of people but doesn’t represent a large enough market to be of interest to mainstream retailers or manufacturers. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-17
18.
Third Approach: Finding
Gaps in the Marketplace 2 of 2 Product gaps in the marketplace represent potentially viable business opportunities. Specific Example Tish Cirovolv realized there were no guitars on the market made specifically for females. To fill this gap, she started Daisy Rock Guitars, a company that makes guitars just for women and girls. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-18
19.
Personal Characteristics of
the Entrepreneur Characteristics that tend to make some people better at recognizing opportunities than others Prior Experience Cognitive Factors Social Networks Creativity Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-19
20.
Prior Experience • Prior
Industry Experience – Several studies have shown that prior experience in an industry helps an entrepreneur recognize business opportunities. • By working in an industry, an individual may spot a market niche that is underserved. • It is also possible that by working in an industry, an individual builds a network of social contacts who provide insights that lead to recognizing new opportunities. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-20
21.
Cognitive Factors • Cognitive
Factors – Studies have shown that opportunity recognition may be an innate skill or cognitive process. – Some people believe that entrepreneurs have a “sixth sense” that allows them to see opportunities that others miss. – This “sixth sense” is called entrepreneurial alertness, which is formally defined as the ability to notice things without engaging in deliberate search. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-21
22.
Social Networks 1 of
3 • Social Networks – The extent and depth of an individual’s social network affects opportunity recognition. – People who build a substantial network of social and professional contacts will be exposed to more opportunities and ideas than people with sparse networks. – Research results suggest that between 40% and 50% of people who start a business got their idea via a social contact. • Strong Tie Vs. Weak Tie Relationships – All of us have relationships with other people that are called “ties.” (See next slide.) Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-22
23.
Social Networks 2 of
3 • Nature of Strong-Tie Vs. Weak-Tie Relationships – Strong-tie relationships are characterized by frequent interaction and form between coworkers, friends, and spouses. – Weak-tie relationships are characterized by infrequent interaction and form between casual acquaintances. • Result – It is more likely that an entrepreneur will get new business ideas through weak-tie rather than strong-tie relationships. (See next slide.) Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-23
24.
Social Networks 3 of
3 Strong-Tie Relationships Weak-Tie Relationships These relationships, which typically form between like- minded individuals, tend to reinforce insights and ideas that people already have. These relationships, which form between casual acquaintances, are not as apt to be between like- minded individuals, so one person may say something to another that sparks a completely new idea. Why weak-tie relationships lead to more new business ideas than strong-tie relationships Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-24
25.
Creativity 1 of 2 •
Creativity – Creativity is the process of generating a novel or useful idea. – Opportunity recognition may be, at least in part, a creative process. – For an individual, the creative process can be broken down into five stages, as shown on the next slide. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-25

Techniques for Generating
Ideas Brainstorming Focus Groups Library and Internet Research Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-28
29.
Brainstorming • Brainstorming – Is
a technique used to generate a large number of ideas and solutions to problems quickly. – A brainstorming “session” typically involves a group of people, and should be targeted to a specific topic. – Rules for a brainstorming session: • No criticism. • Freewheeling is encouraged. • The session should move quickly. • Leap-frogging is encouraged. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-29
30.
Focus Groups • Focus
Group – A focus group is a gathering of five to ten people, who have been selected based on their common characteristics relative to the issues being discussed. – These groups are led by a trained moderator, who uses the internal dynamics of the group environment to gain insight into why people feel the way they do about a particular issue. – Although focus groups are used for a variety of purposes, they can be used to help generate new business ideas. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-30
31.
Library and Internet
Research 1 of 3 • Library Research – Libraries are an often underutilized source of information for generating new business ideas. – The best approach is to talk to a reference librarian, who can point out useful resources, such as industry-specific magazines, trade journals, and industry reports. – Simply browsing through several issues of a trade journal or an industry report on a topic can spark new ideas. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-31
32.
Library and Internet
Research 2 of 3 Large public and university libraries typically have access to search engines and industry reports that would cost thousands of dollars to access on your own. Examples of Useful Search Engines and Industry Reports • BizMiner • ProQuest • IBISWorld • Mintel • LexisNexis Academic Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-32
33.
Library and Internet
Research 3 of 3 • Internet Research – If you are starting from scratch, simply typing “new business ideas” into a search engine will produce links to newspapers and magazine articles about the “hottest” new business ideas. – If you have a specific topic in mind, setting up Google mail alerts will provide you with links to a constant stream of newspaper articles, blog posts, and news releases about the topic. – Targeted searches are also useful. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-33
34.
Other Techniques • Customer
Advisory Boards – Some companies set up customer advisory boards that meet regularly to discuss needs, wants, and problems that may lead to new ideas. • Day-In-The-Life Research – A type of anthropological research, where the employees of a company spend a day with a customer. Copyright ©2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2-34
35.
Encouraging New Ideas •
Establishing a Focal Point for Ideas – Some firms meet the challenge of encouraging, collecting, and evaluating ideas by designating a specific person to screen and track them—for if it’s everybody’s job, it may be no one’s responsibility. – Another approach is to establish an idea bank (or vault), which is a physical or digital repository for storing ideas. • Encouraging Creativity at the Firm Level – Creativity is the raw material that goes into innovation and should be encouraged at the organizational and individual supervisory level.
