Recognising Opportunities - Professor Sir Richard Friend FRS, Dr Simon Bransfield-Garth, Dr Seena Rejal

In other words, what is the typical anatomy of an opportunity?
One of the more popular definitions of entrepreneurship is by Prof Howard Stevenson at Harvard Business School: “It is that an opportunity is pursued regardless of access to resources.” This may well apply to some opportunities but can it also apply to the translation of deep research into commercially viable products and services? We will examine this question at the first Enterprise Tuesday session of the 2012/2013 series through a live example – Eight19
