Abstract |
| Entrepreneurship is about finding new formulae
or ways to create value. You profit if you
can create ways to use resources more cheaply
and creatively in order to create products
and services that offer new value to customers.
Many of the great success stories of our times
are ones in which ordinary individuals overcame
significant odds to create something new and
exciting just with commonly available resources.
Think of companies like Creative Technologies,
Apple, Netscape, Wal-Mart, and CISCO, to name
a few. How did successful entrepreneurs create
something from little? What can we learn from
them? Is it possible to reduce their experiences
to a set of principles that we can use? In
this talk, I will discuss 10 principles you
can follow to ensure that that the probability
of success during this creation process remains
high while the potential exposure to loss
due to failure is kept at affordable levels.
The focus of the talk is on the principles
of creating something new and of enduring
value with very limited resources. |
