Buzzuka - Elevator Pitch Tool Innovation Excellence Compass Labs Raises $5 Million To Pinpoint Purchase Intent On Twitter Well, that was fast.

How Great Entrepreneurs Think What distinguishes great entrepreneurs? Discussions of entrepreneurial psychology typically focus on creativity, tolerance for risk, and the desire for achievement—enviable traits that, unfortunately, are not very teachable. So Saras Sarasvathy, a professor at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, set out to determine how expert entrepreneurs think, with the goal of transferring that knowledge to aspiring founders. Sarasvathy identified 245 U.S. entrepreneurs who met her criteria, and 45 of them agreed to participate. Sarasvathy concluded that master entrepreneurs rely on what she calls effectual reasoning. The following is a summary of some of the study's conclusions, illustrated with excerpts from the interviews. Quotes have been edited for length, though we wish we had room to run them in their entirety. Do the doable, then push it That is not to say entrepreneurs don't have goals, only that those goals are broad and—like luggage—may shift during flight. And:

10 blogs geeks en español a tener en cuenta para tus feeds La vez pasada cuando les hablé sobre el cambio de mando y rediseño del blog anglo Read Write Web, que pasó a llamarse Read Write, les dije que ese era uno de los blogs que leía a diario y les nombre 3 o 4 más.

El Blog de Pedro Hace algunos meses hice una importante separación entre estrategia e innovación, concluyendo que son cosas diferentes. He insistido en que la innovación debe tener dirección, pues innovar sin dirección puede ser caótico y contraproducente. Por esa razón, toda organización debe tener una estrategia clara y compartida. Profundizaré en cómo las organizaciones pueden crear una capacidad estratégica para innovar. ¿De dónde viene la innovación? El tercero es “gente y habilidades”. Esteban Brenes 28/05/2012 Esteban R.
