New venture management refers to undertaking the risks involved in experimenting with new business opportunities, such as launching an entirely new product or service. The basic goal is to look beyond existing business conditions in a market by testing new ideas and actions to promote entrepreneurial growth. Some key steps in new venture management include developing goals, defining a target market segment, creating a marketing plan, writing a business plan, determining financing needs, and managing the business to achieve objectives. Common challenges are risks related to growth, technology, market competition, financing, and management teams. However, new venture management also fosters entrepreneur creativity and contributes to economic and job growth.
