Abstract:

This original empirical work examines the development process characteristics of small entrepreneurial service firms. The results of 12 interviews suggest that successful entrepreneurial innovation projects are the result of a five-stage process model. This entrepreneurial new service development process model differs somewhat from the proposed process models, focusing on large service corporations. Besides a more flexible and informal process for entrepreneurial services, the development cost and the final market price are strongly related to success.

Abstract:

Entrepreneurship research has predominately focused on firm-level conceptions of success and the personal factors that help predict them but has stopped short of investigating what it means to entrepreneurs. When entrepreneurial success has been studied at the individual level, the approach has been to identify common success criteria and examine the importance of these to the entrepreneur. However, criteria-based approaches overlook the possibility that entrepreneurs may ascribe different meanings to common success criteria, and this can influence how entrepreneurs develop their firms.
