“…Lean Startup principles must be adapted to the context and nature of each organisation and the sector in which they are applied, and several papers have defined specific adaptations and developed conceptual frameworks to enhance operational efficiency (Dahle et al, 2020).…”

Lean Startup provides an iterative, hypothesis-driven approach to business creation and product development, promoting data-driven decision-making by involving potential users and customers during the development cycle. Despite increased academic attention, the debate on the benefits of Lean Startup is open. To contribute to the understanding of how organisations incorporate Lean Startup principles, this study conducts a systematic literature review and identifies the industries in which its application has been analysed, the adaptation models followed by organisations, and the key drivers for its adoption in new and established organisations. The study's findings contribute to advancing knowledge on the adoption of Lean Startup principles, tools, and techniques in organisations. The results also help to the academic debate surrounding the usefulness and application of Lean Startup principles across different organisational contexts.

“…Instead, our NME is both a suggested starting point for discussion and a necessary requirement for being able to conduct our study. The NME, in effect, introduces a series of entrepreneurial elements from theory (Dahle et al , 2020). We present this model in Figure 1 to provide the context of the steps and entrepreneurial elements which are part of the test design presented in this article.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the motivations and business ideation processes of 776 entrepreneurs from three diverse cohorts of technology, youth and arts entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach Using an inductive approach inspired by grounded theory, observations resultant from the use of a Web-based digital test environment are openly coded, in which 776 individual entrepreneurs have stated their objectives for engaging in entrepreneurship and performed a business ideation process. Findings The study inductively derives a typology of objectives types – “GET GIVE MAKE LIVE” – and finds that beyond the pursuit of profitable opportunities, there is considerable variation, complexity and combinations to the reasons why individuals engage in entrepreneurship. A total of 76 percent of the population in this study have more than one objective, with 48% having more than one type of objective. While the arts entrepreneurs tended to engage in entrepreneurship to “LIVE” and the tech entrepreneurs were more inclined to “GET,” the most frequently observed objective type in all cohorts was to “MAKE.” A total of 74 percent of the entrepreneurs took an effectual approach and began defining their business idea with their core competency, yet technology entrepreneurs were the most likely to start by defining their key market. Practical implications Entrepreneurship educators, trainers and helpers should refrain from a standardized approach which assumes that entrepreneurs share the same set of singular motivations. Interventions might benefit from a student-centered program which promotes reflection and articulation of the entrepreneurs’ objectives and their diversity. Originality/value This study answers the call for research to embrace entrepreneurial diversity and compliment previous explorations of entrepreneurs’ motivations through an empirically grounded study of three diverse cohorts of entrepreneurs.

“…The development of the NME has been based on six interlinked pillars of modern entrepreneurial theory [4]. We are starting with the concept of the Resource-Based View [5] [6], with special focus on Core Competence as a resource [7].…”

The search for a "best practice" of entrepreneurship has been a big part of the science of entrepreneurship of our millennium. Using text analysis, this article empirically investigates the way 756 entrepreneurs from three different cohorts conceptualize 2 of the 27 elements in such a suggested normative model. The two elements explored are "Core Competence" and "Unique Value Proposition". Our findings are that there may be two problems with the use of these elements. Firstly-the number of entries from each case suggest that entrepreneurs struggle with finding and settling on a "unique" statement for either of the two elements. Secondly, a percentage of the entrepreneurs seem to struggle to differentiate the two concepts from each other. Finally, there seem to be differences between the three investigated cohorts concerning the findings, where higher education and more experience may make it easier to utilize and understand Core Competence and Unique Value Proposition as parts of the entrepreneurial process
