Critical Analysis and Reflection Report on Recognising an Entrepreneurial Opportunity

Background

It has always been of interest to researchers and practitioners to explore and define what profile dimensions or mindsets are prevalent among entrepreneurs that drive their entrepreneurial behaviours, as well as how potential or existing entrepreneurs recognise suitable opportunities from a variety of possible ideas. These two areas have been addressed by academic literature from many perspectives. In this subject, we will focus mainly on the relevant concepts that have been discussed in the textbook. These should be supported by other academic sources where appropriate.

Frequently, co-working spaces hold events for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to learn, listen, and share their stories so that others may learn from them or to ‘pitch’ to an audience. These co-working spaces are often a key hub within an entrepreneurial ecosystem and are frequented by other entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, potential supporters, and potential entrepreneurial stakeholders.
