Personal Resource Bases
Extend the boundaries of resource-based theory to include the cognitive ability of individual and entrepreneurs working
together
Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 6
The IndividualThe role that individuals play in entrepreneurship is undeniable.
Each person’s psychological, sociological, and demographic
characteristics contribute to or reduce from his or her abilities to
be an entrepreneur.
Personal experience, knowledge, education, and training are the
accumulated human resources that the founder contributes to
the enterprise.
The personal integrity of the entrepreneur and the way the
entrepreneur and the new venture are viewed by others are
captured in the person’s reputation.
The risk profile of the entrepreneur determines the initial
configuration of the venture—for example:
financing, product offerings, and staffing. Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 7
Although it is common to speak of the individual entrepreneur,
frequently the entrepreneur is not alone.
Entrepreneurs rely on a network of other people, other
businesspeople, and other entrepreneurs.
These contacts are personal resources that help the
entrepreneur to acquire additional resources and start his or her
business.
It is true that “who you know” and “who knows you” are
sometimes very valuable resources in new venture creation.

Risk is the potential of gaining or losing something of value.

Risk can also be defined as the intentional interaction with uncertainty.

Locus of control

internal locus of control believes that he or she can influenceevents and their outcomes,
external locus of control blames outside forces foreverything.
This concept was brought to light in the 1950's by JulianRotter.

Situational Characteristics
• Perception of desirabilityEntrepreneurship must be seen as desirable if one is to pursue it. The factors that affect the perceptions of desirability can come from the:
individual’s culture, family, peers and colleagues, or mentors.
• Perception of feasibility
Entrepreneurship must be seen as feasible if is to be undertaken. Readiness and desirability are not enough.
Potential entrepreneurs need models and examples of what can be accomplished.
They require support from others— emotional, financial, and physical support.

Strategic Orientation
Strategic Orientation (SOR) is a specific method to develop strategies.
It is a method based on the analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT).
Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 27
The importance of strategic orientation
Two important conceptions of strategy:
It is an ongoing process of evaluating the firm’s purpose (Miles
and Snow)
Evaluating, questioning, verifying and redefining the
firm’s interactions with its environment
Assumes organizational adaptation to environments
Strategy allows the firm to adapt to dynamic, competitive, and
uncertain environments
Strategic orientations differ in risk disposition,
innovativeness and operational efficiencies
Types: defenders, prospectors, analyzers, reactors
Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 28
Porter's five forces model defines the relevant components of the environment
These competitive forces work at the industry level
• Existing companies
• Potential new companies
• Substitutes for products offered
• Suppliers and customers
Two adaptations are low cost and differentiation
The goal is to alter the firm’s position in the industry in relation to competitors and suppliers
Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 29
There is also a view of strategy as resource based (Barney)
This involves gathering and making use of resources and developing capabilities that competitors can’t easily imitate
The goal is superior market position
It links the firm closely to its suppliers and customers
Strategic orientation can be an issue of how firms position themselves with respect to competitors
It focuses on the exploitation of firm-specific assets and capabilities.
Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 31
Commitment to the opportunity
• Exploitable set of circumstances with uncertain outcome, requiring commitment of resources and involving exposure to risk.
Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 32
Control of Resources• Resources are scarce
• Resources needs commitment in right time and right price.
Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 34
Remarkable performance doesn’t happen by accident.
Whether delivered individually or organizationally, it is always
preceded by commitment.
Think about the connection between commitment and
performance this way:
•Commitment is the price you are willing to pay to get
remarkable results.
•Performance reveals the price you have paid.
A remarkable performance reveals how highly you value (price)
your customer, spouse, child, boss, co-worker, or other goal
(athletics, music, academics, and so on).
•A poor performance reveals how little you value (price) those
same people or goals.
You are making the same choices daily.
Our challenge is to make smart, conscious investments of
commitment; to pay the right price at the right time and place.Presented By: Viqar A. Usmani 35
