3 When evaluating entrepreneurial opportunitiessometimes calledidea screeningan effective process involves assessing the various venture ideas being considered by applying different levels and types of analyses. Entrepreneurs starting ventures and running existing businesses should also regularly analyze their operating environments at the societal, industry, market, and firm-levels.

Match each of those levels with the right explanation.

Group of answer choices

Societal Level

[ Choose ]

At this level, it is important to understand each of the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal (PESTEL) factorsand, more specifically, the trends affecting those factorsthat will have an impact on a venture based on a particular idea. Some venture ideas might be screened-out and others might be worth pursuing at a particular time because of the trends occurring with those PESTEL factors. Avoid the use of technical jargon that may distract readers (i.e. rivalry among firms) and use simpler language (i.e. competitive environment).

At this level, use a tool to generate information about the part of the industry in which your business will compete. This tool might be in the form of a set of questions designed to uncover information that you need to know to help develop plans to improve the success of your proposed venture.

Apply Porter's (1985) Five Forces Model, or a similar tool designed to assess this level factors. This analysis will focus more specifically on the sector of the economy in which you intend to operate. Again, the right analysis tool must be used for the assessment to be effective and avoid technical jargon (i.e. threat of new entrants) and use simpler wording (i.e. difficulty of entering the market) or flip to an analysis of the threat (i.e. strategies to establish and maintain market share).

At this level, both the internal organizational trends and the external market profile trends should both be analyzed. There are several tools for conducting an internal organizational analysis, and normally you should normally apply several of them.

4 The Business _______________ tool is intended to be applied when business operations can be started on a small scale and adjustments can continually be made until the evolving business model ends up working in real life. This is in contrast to the more traditional approach of pre-planning everything and then going through the set-up and start-up processes and ending up with a business venture that opens for business one day without having proven at all that the business model it is founded upon will even work. These traditional start-ups sometimes flounder along as the owners find that their plans are not quite working out and they try to make adjustments on the fly. It can be difficult to make adjustments at this time because the processes are already set up.

5 Which of the following is NOT one of the lean-startup principles?

Group of answer choices

a start-up is more than the product or service; it is an institution that must be managed in a new way that promotes growth through innovation

startups are about learning "how to build a sustainable business" by validating product or service design through frequent prototyping that allows entrepreneurs to test the concepts

startups must follow this process or feedback loop: create products and services; measure how the market reacts to them; and learn from that reaction to determine whether to pivot or to persevere with an outcome the market accepts

entrepreneurs are everywhere and anyone working in an environment where they seek to create new products or services under conditions of extreme certainty

entrepreneurial outcomes and innovation initiatives need to be measured through innovative accounting
