This document discusses how to identify business opportunities. It defines an opportunity as a situation where an entrepreneur can offer products or services to meet the needs or solve the problems of potential buyers. Opportunities emerge when unmet needs, wants, or problems are observed in the environment. The entrepreneur then creates a business to address these. Important environmental forces that can signal opportunities include economic, social, technological and political changes. Opportunities are identified by recognizing consumer needs and wants or problems people face that could be addressed by solutions. The process involves observing changes, identifying unmet needs or solutions, and discovering potential opportunities.
