Assessment of Entrepreneurial Opportunities. Feasibility Plan Outline - Blog#7


Identifying and assessing opportunity are two key steps that a company must do to grow and retain their competitive advantages. Sometimes, an entrepreneur stumbles upon an opportunity. While one record may play a role in identifying an opportunity, more often it is a systematic analysis of the business environment that is required.

Entrepreneurs look for changes in the political, economic, social, and technological environment that disturb the balance in the market place and, therefore, create new business opportunities. Similarly, customers' dissatisfaction with the capacity of existing products and services to meet their needs indicates an opportunity.
Two problems when exploring and assessing an opportunity.
  * Selective Analysis. When we tend to observe winners and not the rest, we are not learning for others mistakes.
*Chaos. The affect of randomness and the effect it has on businesses.

 The success of a business depends on  the skill of its key employees, as well as, competitors actions, customer interactions and  the hard work.
