India has to prepare the students for an innovation mindset rather than just feeling proud of running innovation related courses... we have higher education programs and modules on innovation that just prepare students to become average innovators who apply for funding, struggle to sustain and fail miserably down the line.. as a result of it entrepreneurship itself has become a least preferred pathway among the students....the ultimate reason for that is not innovating the education itself before preparing the students for innovation...we can't build a great empire on a weak foundation...#innovation #ecosystem #highereducation #UCBerkeley #entrepreneurship

📢📑🚀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 Our study “Acting beyond concepts: a comparative study of entrepreneurial actions between novice and experienced entrepreneurs in early-stage venture creation," has just been published in the Journal of Small Business & Entrepreneurship (SJR: Q1; CiteScore: 11.9). We compare the actions of novice and experienced entrepreneurs during the critical early stages of venture creation. By analyzing data from 112 in-depth interviews with founders, we identified three key dimensions of entrepreneurial activities—Entrepreneurial Alignment, Resource Enhancement, and Value Generation. The findings provide a clearer understanding of how experience shapes entrepreneurial practices, offering valuable takeaways for both researchers and practitioners.
