CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT[Additional Guidance]
Task (1a):
Identify an ‘entrepreneur’ who has created their own venture and analyse their ‘entrepreneurial journey’ and reasons for their success in light of the ‘Start-up influences’ advocated by Burns (2011, pp. 34).
Does your analysis support Burns criteria for distinguishing between ‘owner-managers’ and ‘entrepreneurs?
Do Burns ‘Start-up influences’ adequately explain the components of entrepreneurial success? If not then what other factors need to be taken into account in the venture creation process?
What do you personally conclude about the key factors for entrepreneurial success?
