“…From prior research, we see that environmental conditions influence the opportunity discovery or creation processes both positively and negatively. An important implication for entrepreneurship research in this regard is the need to assist policymakers in creating an atmosphere that is friendly to entrepreneurs (Suzuki et al 2002).…”

In the last three decades, research studies investigating how individuals recognize entrepreneurial opportunities have advanced rapidly and have become a key topic in the modern entrepreneurship literature. To advance this important concern further, we present a systematic literature review of the entrepreneurial opportunity research field and its status. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this research suggests that the field is fragmented and empirically underdeveloped. A comprehensive literature analysis shows that only a handful of authors have contributed specifically to developing dialogues related to opportunity recognition and that the topic is considered primarily as an ancillary issue by many authors and academic journals. Based on analyzing 180 articles, we classify existing contributions into six influential factors: prior knowledge, social capital, cognition/personality traits, environmental conditions, alertness, and systematic search. Moreover, by developing a framework, we communicate critical insights regarding the opportunity recognition process. The contribution of individual articles to the proposed factors is presented in a research synthesis table. We conclude by presenting several directions for future research related to opportunity recognition. Int Entrep Manag J

“…Such services include availability of subcontractors, suppliers, consultants and legal, accounting, advertising, financial, telecommunication, internet and banking services. Professional or business services are helpful throughout the entrepreneurial process, particularly in the management and operation of the firms (Suzuki et al, 2002). Good availability of business services permits entrepreneurial firms to focus on their core business, thereby achieving efficiency and specialisation gains.…”

A theoretical grounding and test of the GEM model

The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor model combines insights on the allocation of effort into entrepreneurship at the national (adult working age population) level with literature in the Austrian tradition. The model suggests that the relationship between national-level new business activity and the institutional environment, or Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions, is mediated by opportunity perception and the perception of start-up skills in the population. We provide a theory-grounded examination of this model and test the effect of one EFC, education and training for entrepreneurship, on the allocation of effort into new business activity. We find that in high-income countries, opportunity perception mediates fully the relationship between the level of post-secondary entrepreneurship education and training in a country and its rate of new business activity, including high-growth expectation new business activity. The mediating effect of skills perception is weaker. This result accords with the Kirznerian concept of alertness to opportunity stimulating action.

“…Technological entrepreneurship has been characterized in different ways and at different levels of analysis, either as a system (Abetti, 1992;Kenney and Von Burgh, 1999), a policy (Zhang et al, 2008;Yu et al, 2009), a strategy (Gans and Stern, 2003), a process (Shane and Venkataraman, 2003;Antoncic and Prodan, 2008;Petti, 2009) or an individual attitude (Dorf and Byers, 2005;Suzuki et al, 2002).…”

The transformation of China into an innovation-oriented nation is now topping the agenda of Chinese government. Technological innovation is seen at the heart of this transformation, and enterprises have been called the key driving force of the innovation process. However, what are the key ingredients for such a transformation to occur? And are Chinese enterprises ready to fulfil this new responsibility? Drawing on the concept of technological entrepreneurship, this paper intends to explain technological innovation in Chinese enterprises, and attempts to develop an integrative view for research in this field, especially as related to the questions asked above.
