Using knowledge-based systems for entrepreneurial new venture analysis

Abstract

The development of a prototype knowledge-based system (KBS) for analyzing an entrepreneurial venture into the accounting field is described. The discussion covers: (1) studying the situation to be prototyped, and (2) documenting the prototype system. This study is limited to the development of a system which assists in deciding whether or not to enter a specific new service venture alone, by estimating the likelihood of success.<>
