- The Table of Content divides the design into three parts. Part I will develop the research idea and present the key concepts to build an understanding of the ensuing research.Part II will deliver the data components, the sources, collection methods, preparation, and analysis. Part III will end the presentation by defining what the researcher hopes to accomplish.
- Link between entrepreneurship, leadership, and business success Individual’s historical and internal personal leadership experiences Subjective in nature Influenced by “conditioning, socialization and acculturation”. Behavioral traits are the tools the individual brings to the entrepreneurial stage.(Kobe, 2012). Cumulative economic effect entrepreneurs have on society are enormous Business development is considered the engine of economic expansion. Business, industry, and government all place a premium to encourage it.
- Result: Negative Trend
- Explain this chart – don’t just say the pointsNotice the steep delivery of the curve. Most start ups do not use the services of a Incubator.And, getting into an Accelerator is very difficult.
- This is another way to show the significance small business has to our economy.
- Incubator: Laying a foundation of support for entrepreneurs Assist in few months – few years: Administrative Management Technical Sources of Capital Networking with like minded individualsAccelerators: How it works => Entrepreneurs solicit the accelerator Present for acceptance 2 – 4 month programs Structured Curriculum Fire Hose for a drink of water 5 – 8% of company for cash stipend of $15,000 - $100,000 (Average is 5% and $20k) Real Benefit Knowledge Experts Fundraising Opportunities Success rate is goodOnce past the startup phase though, entrepreneurs find they may not have the needed skills to develop the organization into an ongoing, sustainable, business platform. (Jones, 2011). Leadership skills may be the most important skill set to support the growth of a successful business venture(Shafer, 2012). Entrepreneurs come to find that passion, energy, and perseverance may not be enough to sustain an organization; they realize that leadership strategies are necessary skills to develop their business through the coming phase of organizational developmentThough leadership skills may not be a part of the entrepreneur’s capacity through the startup phase, they are skills that can be learned.
- Link between entrepreneurship, leadership, and business success Individual’s historical and internal personal leadership experiences Subjective in nature (Byrd, 2010). Influenced by “conditioning, socialization and acculturation”. Behavioral traits are the tools the individual brings to the entrepreneurial stage.Analoui and Karami (2003) stated that success in business is probably most related to an individual’s leadership capacityCumulative economic effect entrepreneurs have on society are enormous Business development is considered the engine of economic expansion. Business, industry, and government all place a premium to encourage it.
- Entrepreneurs generate economic utility generating revenue, jobs, economic expansion, and improved quality of living. Starting a business has never been the problem for entrepreneurs.
- The PurposeThis qualitative study is to understand how business accelerator programs develop the entrepreneur’s leadership skills that support the development of their company’s organizational phase. Business accelerators provide structured leadership training that is necessary to develop the entrepreneur’s leadership skills to support this organizational development.
- Learning while doing, learning from mistakes, and learning to do it all over again (He, 2013). Experiential development helps the individual grow into a balanced leader. This accumulated know-how helps to develop a high level of leadership agility and competency.
- Entrepreneurial Leadership TheoryRelatively new theory where the two words have individually been well-established in the research separately but together they are not often combined to understand as one.
- Entrepreneurs - presently involved or have recently graduated. WoodyObserve and interview.Four Individuals.Two different accelerator programs.Seattle metropolitan area.IRB approval will be required
- Pre Interview – focus on leadership skills awareness, knowledge of, and trait identification.Observations – at the Accelerator program (1 – 2 hours) Sights, sounds, training methodologies, intensity, observable stressInterviews – at the entrepreneurs place of business ( 1- 2 hours) Clarification on Journal, other reflections.
- The weekly questions will be semi-structured to focus the weekly journals. The comments will be interpreted and sorted into coded buckets or themes to help continue to focus on the research questions. Additionally, the information collected from the interviews will help to understand the details while observing the entrepreneurs. The analysis between the interviews, observations and the journals will be triangulated against literature, artifacts, video and audio components. These will validate and support the findings. New findings will be coded for further research. The strategy provides current real-life contemporary data between a phenomenon in the business world where the theories of entrepreneurship and leadership are learned simultaneously.
- ContributionThis paper will attempt to make three contributions to the literature on entrepreneurship.Business accelerator programs are fairly new business operations and they fully support the entrepreneur’s world of getting a business into profitability quickly. Entrepreneurs = so this field will be more accessible to the general population, Business accelerator programs = so they may continue to learn and develop their specific brand of business development, (Roomi & Harrison, 2011, p. 31) Universities so they have the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial leadership education that would help “teach students to cultivate their entrepreneurial capability in leadership roles and their leadership capability in entrepreneurial contexts” (Roomi & Harrison, 2011, p. 31).
