Given an opportunity concept, apply the process of entrepreneurship to evaluate, pursue, execute, and harvest the venture. 

The word entrepreneurship has come to have many definitions. One commonly used definition is the process by which individuals pursue opportunities without regard to resources they currently control. One of the key aspects of this definition is that entrepreneurship is a process. This has several implications. First of all, a process is something that can be taught and is something that is repeatable. It also implies characteristics of passion and perseverance. In pursuing opportunities without regard to resources currently controlled, the entrepreneur must believe in and have a passion to succeed that will carry him or her through difficult... 

There are often misperceptions about who an entrepreneur is (Kuratko, 2003). Some common stereotypes are that an entrepreneur is someone who is lucky, highly charismatic, and greedy and often that they are just born. The definition given earlier helps to debunk these misperceptions. The process orientation and ability to teach the process shows that entrepreneurship is not something a person is just born with or that just depends on luck. 

Understanding the process of entrepreneurship and its application is one of the most important aspects of learning entrepreneurship because it provides a structured approach that can repeated, analyzed, and improved on. For these reasons, integrating the process of entrepreneurship into pharmacy practice is likely to provide a methodology that can increase the success of entrepreneurial activities. 

One of the most important aspects of entrepreneurship is protecting the idea, referred to as intellectual property. Intellectual property can take many forms, from logos, to products, to business processes, as some examples. Types of protection include copyrights, trademarks, and patents (Allen, 2003).

There are three basic elements to entrepreneurship in chemical production (Fig. 12.6). The first - estabhshing entrepreneurial focus - means that performance targets have to be set which are driven by the capital markets in a participative process starting from the top - that is, at the business unit or divisional level -and which follow through a transparent value-driver tree in order to determine targets for the front line (see Section 12.2.1). The desired end product is a balanced scorecard for each operational unit with a clear Hnk to the overall profitability of the business unit... 

Being an entreprenetu is a creative, personal process. Along with intuition, wisdom, perseverance, and patience, entrepreneurship requires discipline and a good dose of humour. Without these you could not look back (or forward for that matter) and examine yoiu mistakes with the degree of sagacity necessary to move one foot forward without feeling despair, let alone plant another idea. 

Innovation is an often misused word. Economists have defined an innovation as the first commercial application of a new or improved process or product. Nowadays, we should extend this to include a service or a system—the supermarket, time-shared computer, satellite communications, etc. I have discussed the nuances of the words innovation, invention, entrepreneurship, etc., and their interrelationships in a recent article. Therefore, if the innovation is in an area which must be preceded by inventive investigation of the R D type, the innovation comes into being when the results of the R D are first commercialized, usually by investing capital, thus converting the cost of the R D into an economic benefit (lower manufacturing costs, higher profitability, new or improved products, etc.). 

This book is unique because it considers issues not usually considered in books about rules of thumb. Most books and articles about rules of thumb focus on processing equipment but effective engineers also need to communicate, work effectively in teams, solve problems and lead. Rules of thumb are summarized for systems thinking and for career skills such as problem solving, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship and e-business. 

The four papers in this duster explore the dynamic interplay between users and producers during innovation. The Shah and Tripsas paper (2007) was the first publication which dealt explicitly with the emergent process from being a user to becoming a manufocturer. They derive propositions about the contextual factors, which abet user entrepreneurship over traditional entrepreneurship. Baldwin et aL (2006) model the transition from user activity, emergence of user entrepreneurs, and manufacturer entry in an analytic setup. They predict a shared market equilibrium, in...
