Discovering entrepreneurial opportunities requires that individuals not only possess some form of prior knowledge, but that they also have the cognitive abilities that allow them to value and exploit that knowledge. This article builds upon and extends this line of inquiry by examining the relationship between opportunity identification and learning. Based upon an experimental task and other data collected from 380 technology professionals, the article defines a relationship between how individuals acquire and transform information and experience (i.e., learning) in order to identify opportunities. After analyzing the empirical data, the article develops the concept of learning asymmetries and explains how the manner in which people learn may affect their ability to identify entrepreneurial opportunities.
1. Executive summary
Discovering opportunities to develop a product bnot-yet-in-existenceQ and subsequently creating a venture is a multifaceted endeavor. Current theoretical and empirical work in entrepreneurship suggests that the study of cognitive mechanisms and their interactions with an individual’s existing knowledge base are important pieces in the puzzle of opportunity identification. This study builds upon this base by exploring the relationship between opportunity identification and the learning process.
9. Conclusion
The predominant contribution of this article is the new light it sheds upon one of the most elemental, yet unresolved, questions in the entrepreneurship literature. Nearly a decade ago, Venkataraman asked why some individuals are better at recognizing opportunities for entrepreneurial activities than others. Since that time, he and others have suggested that these differences may be the product of the differing cognitive abilities of various individuals. Many researchers theorized about the importance of cognitive processes within the entrepreneurial process. Some empirically examined cognitive processing within the entrepreneurship realm; however, no one had conducted a large scale empirical investigation that focused on the learning processes of opportunity identification.
