Abstract

At the heart of entrepreneurship lies the identification, mobilization, and transformation of resources for the creation or growth of a venture. Within the Entrepreneurial Value Creation Theory, resources play an instrumental and critical role in the creation of entrepreneurial competence as the end result of Stage 1—Formulation. In other words, entrepreneurial intention and adaptability along with entrepreneurial opportunity and cognition are matched based on available entrepreneurial resources that can be mobilized and/or transformed into entrepreneurial competence, leading into Stage 2—Monetization.
