SUMMARY
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. What is the entrepreneurial process?
The entrepreneurial process comprises: developing opportunities, gathering resources, and
managing and building operations with the goal of creating value.
2. What is entrepreneurship? What are some basic characteristics of entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurship is the process of changing ideas into commercial opportunities and creating
value. While there is no prototypical entrepreneur, many are good at recognizing
commercial opportunities, tend to be optimistic, and envision a plan for the future.
3. Why do businesses close or cease operating? What are the primary reasons why businesses
fail?
, Chapter 6: Managing Cash Flow 3
Nearly one-half of businesses that fail do so because of economic factors including
inadequate sales, insufficient profits, and industry weakness. Many of the economic factors
are directly tied to financing concerns (e.g., insufficient profits for investors). Almost 40
percent of business failures not citing economic factors cite specifically financial causes like
excessive debt and insufficient financial capital. The remaining cited reasons for failure
include a lack of business and managerial experience, business conflicts, family problems,
fraud, and disasters. Many businesses close and fail due to financial trouble which is mostly
related to lack of sales and unsatisfactory profits.
4. What are five megatrend sources or categories for finding entrepreneurial opportunities?
We identify five megatrend categories. They are: (1) societal changes, (2) demographic
changes, (3) technological changes, (4) emerging economies and global changes, and (5)
crises and bubbles.
Under societal changes we discuss the gig economy and the sharing economy. The gig
economy is where individuals accept short-term job assignments or ―gigs‖ instead of having
full-time employment. The sharing economy is where individuals share their assets, such as
homes, vehicles, and personal time, with others to provide a new way for distributing goods
and services.
5. What asset and financial bubbles have occurred recently? How can bubbles and financial
crises lead to entrepreneurial opportunities?
The ―dot.com‖ or Internet bubble burst in 2000. An economic recession that began in 2001
was exacerbated by the 9/11 terrorist attack. The housing asset bubble, fueled by sub-prime
mortgages offered to borrowers who could not afford them, burst in 2006. By the second
half of 2008, a ―perfect financial storm‖ erupted and possible financial collapse became a
reality.
Alternative and renewable energy, accompanied by project credit subsidies, production and
investment tax credits, and loan guarantees benefited as a result of the recent financial crisis.
These developments and other efforts to stimulate economic activity provided many new
entrepreneurial opportunities.
6. What is e-commerce? Why are the Internet economy and e-commerce here to stay?
E-commerce involves the use of electronic means to conduct business online. Activities
include marketing and selling online and electronic retailing.
The internet economy and e-commerce are here to stay. We will never do business the same
way we did before the Internet and the Web. Many business plans were funded with the
belief that part of the benefit could be captured by sellers (producers and retailers).
However, we now know that the Web so effectively facilitates price competition that it is
hard for suppliers and retailers to protect margins. E-commerce may not deliver the margins
once conjectured, but the Internet is still one of the most radical innovations in our lifetime.

7. What is meant by disruptive innovation? What is the ―sharing economy‖ societal trend?
An innovation involves the introduction of a new idea, product, or process. A disruptive
innovation is an innovation that creates a new market or network that disrupts and displaces
an existing market or network.
8. Identify the seven principles of entrepreneurial finance.
The seven principles are:
(1) Real, human, and financial capital must be rented from owners
(2) Risk and expected reward go hand in hand
(3) While accounting is the language of business, cash is the currency
(4) New venture financing involves search, negotiation, and privacy
(5) A venture‘s financial objective is to increase value
(6) It is dangerous to assume that people act against their own self-interests
(7) Venture character and reputation can be assets or liabilities
9. Explain the statement: ―The time value of money is not the only cost involved in renting
someone’s financial capital.‖
The total cost of renting someone‘s financial capital is typically significantly higher than just
the time value of money due to the possibility that the venture won‘t be able to pay. The rent
is risky or uncertain requiring an expected compensation in addition to the time value of
money for the renting agreement to be put in place.
10. How do public and private financial markets differ?
Public financial markets are markets where standardized contracts or securities are traded
on organized securities exchanges. Private financial markets are markets where
customized contracts or securities are negotiated, created, and held with restrictions on how
they can be transferred.
11. What is the financial goal of the entrepreneurial venture? What are the major components
for estimating value?
The venture‘s financial goal is to maximize the value of the venture to its owner(s). The
major components of estimating value are projected free cash flow (cash generated in a
specified time period that exceeds funds needed to operate, pay creditors, and invest in the
assets needed to grow the venture) and its risk (including the timing and realized amount).
12. From an agency relationship standpoint, describe the possible types of problems or conflicts
of interest that could inhibit maximizing a venture’s value.
There are two basic types of conflicts. Owner-manager (agency) conflicts occur when there
are differences between managers‘ self-interests and the interests of the owners who hired the
