Identifying and Exploiting the Right Entrepreneurial Opportunity...For You
By: Howard H. Stevenson and Shirley Spence
Abstract
This note provides an analytical framework for assessing potential opportunities in the context of an entrepreneur's life. The framework has two parts -- a business analysis and a personal analysis -- each comprised of a set of yes/no questions for critical assessment criteria. The note also offers perspectives on entrepreneurship, observations about combining an entrepreneurial career with your personal life, and comments about the pursuit of opportunities in general.
