Analyses include the development of optimistic/pessimistic scenarios, one-at-a-time sensitivity analysis with a presentation in the format of a tornado diagram, and threshold (break-even) values. Excerpt UVA-QA-0528 WHAT IF . . . ? A proactive decision maker should not limit the evaluation of an alternative to a single estimate of its potential performance, but should acknowledge explicitly the uncertainties that affect that performance. The consideration of the spectrum of possibilities to which an alternative's performance may be subjected can lead to a better understanding of the risks involved in pursuing the alternative. That understanding can in turn motivate the search for new alternatives that reduce those risks. This note will present approaches for exploring and presenting the sensitivity of performance to changes in assessments. These methods will assist in identifying and communicating the key drivers of performance so that future analysis can be focused on them and creative attention directed to reducing their effects. The following example will be used to develop and illustrate the language, tools, and techniques of this note: Suppose you are the product manager for a children's breakfast cereal. A special holiday trinket was recently developed, and you are considering including the trinket in your product's 28-ounce box during the two months preceding the holiday season. The trinket has performed extraordinarily well in a full battery of children's preference panels and is expected to result in a 12 percent increase in volume. Children's test panels are notoriously unreliable, however, and the increase could be anywhere between 8 and 14 percent. Without the trinket, sales of the 28-ounce box during the two-month period are forecasted to be 6.5 million boxes, plus or minus 2 percent. The production process and the distribution system are sufficiently flexible to permit production to match demand. The trinket will cost $ 0.10 per unit, if the supplier who has worked on its development can resume production in a timely fashion after a recent fire. Fortunately, alternative sources have been found, but at a premium of either $ 0.010 or $ 0.015 per unit, depending on the final selection of the alternative vendor. The trinket will be featured on the front and back of the box and the alteration to the box's artwork is anticipated to cost $ 125,000. Neither the art layout nor the production modifications have been finalized, and it is believed the final cost could range from 20 percent higher to 5 percent lower than the initial estimate. The 28-ounce box has a unit contribution of $ 1.48 per box. Would you include the trinket in the boxes for the holiday season? . . .","PeriodicalId":124895,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Entrepreneurship Research & Policy Education (ERPN) (Topic)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131953921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus in the case is on how two entrepreneurs created a differentiating business model that was dependent on quality service and excellent execution. From a growth perspective, the case discusses two very different approaches to geographical expansion so as not to dilute the customer experience or the brand. Now the business faces the difficult question of how to scale faster. Excerpt UVA-ENT-0144 Rev. Feb. 12, 2010 ENCHANTING TRAVELS In the early days when we were trying to build a brand and it was imperative that every single guest who booked a trip with us had a wonderful time, focusing on the operations or the issues that would have a direct impact on guest feedback or the guest experience would be of prime importance to anyone who was involved with the company—an almost fanatical approach toward guest feedback. And one of the big challenges that we faced and we continue to face is continuing to do what we have done during the past five years. Every entrepreneur goes through that very difficult task. I would say that to be able to build people's skills and abilities you have to at one point take away the safety net and let them figure it out; if the issue or the problem at hand involves solving the problem yourself as opposed to giving someone an opportunity even if they may fail, you reach a point when that focus becomes investing the time and effort in getting that person able to solve the issue or problem rather than doing it yourself. I think that mindset is the big difference between a small start up and a larger high-growth company that needs to enable its people to grow and do things that you would have done. I think in the first year if you had asked me what our focus areas were, I would say that I was involved in creating our product, actually “doing” rather than “managing” operations and personally fixing what went wrong. Now, if you ask me what my focus would be, I would say that investing the time to teach someone or enable someone to fix something would be the focus rather than fixing it myself. And I think that is a point to reach when growing a company. Enabling people around you to do what you do and help you grow the company is a big thing, and one of the big changes we have seen in the last couple of years. —Parikshat Laxminarayan . . .","PeriodicalId":124895,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Entrepreneurship Research & Policy Education (ERPN) (Topic)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114754394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to address this research gap, this study conducted secondary data analysis from the 2015 Adult Education Survey in Taiwan (AEST 2015) conducted by the Taiwan Ministry of Education. The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of youth engaged in entrepreneurship (as measured by self-employment) and evaluate the relationship between continuing education and youth entrepreneurship. A sample from Taiwan was purposefully selected due to cultural factors which balance Eastern and Western approaches to education, allowing for better generalizability to a variety of populations. Data from a total of 2,696 valid participants was utilized. The results are as follows: a) the rate of youth entrepreneurship in Taiwan is moderate, at 8%; b) participation in continuing education demonstrated no significant relationship on youth entrepreneurship; c) entrepreneurial youth tend not to participate in continuing education, citing reasons including “lack of time” and “lack of necessary courses” at a frequency higher than non-entrepreneurial youth; and d) in terms of opportunities for future participation in continuing education, entrepreneurial youth placed less emphasis on the importance of transportation costs and tuition fees as compared to non-entrepreneurial youths. The results of this study suggest that continuing education courses are not currently meeting the needs of young entrepreneurs. Conclusions and suggestions are provided in terms of the evaluation of youth self-employment and continuing education opportunities for the promotion of entrepreneurship.","PeriodicalId":124895,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Entrepreneurship Research & Policy Education (ERPN) (Topic)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130210087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The general principles of entrepreneurship need to be known so that they are ready at all times to empower their opportunities to move forward. The role of entrepreneurship is appreciated by the Government as part of supporting economic progress in the real sector, which will certainly play a role in the growth of the national economy.

This book is summarized to open the insights of students who want to pursue business, especially small-scale business and is expected to benefit and be inspired by this book. Information on the development of Small and Medium Enterprises in developed countries such as Europe and USA may provide input for decision makers, what facilities are provided to SME actors in support of their national economy, as well as a discourse if the same facilities can be given to the small business in the country.

Redefining itself as a beverage and snack business, PepsiCo sheds the restaurant business and acquires Quaker Oats and Tropicana. Then, by rethinking the synergistic relationships between the complementary, combined strengths (technological expertise in nutrition, flavor, packaging, distribution, etc.) of the merged companies, it strategizes to develop innovative products that will compete in a changing demographic, cultural, and geographical world.

The critical question that arises from this is ‘Do we have substantial focus on Productivity of Youth or just addressing the gap of job market by employing more productive youth in low productivity required jobs?’ Our country has been struggling to bridge the gap between education and employment. There has been significant debate on mismatch between the productive and skilled youth and needs of employers. However, there is also much noise about orienting youth towards youth entrepreneurship. The latter seems to be the only solution to job creation and enhanced employability.Now, when ecosystem for youth entrepreneurship is favorable and government is supportive of enterprise creation, it is equally important to educate potential entrepreneurs, predominantly students. Government of India’s mission for start-up creation is boosting faith of making an entrepreneurial nation rather than create employees for existing organizations. This gives an opportunity to academic institutions to experiment with courses and programs that lead towards start-up creation.
