A key question that all would-be entrepreneurs face is finding the business opportunity that is right for them. Should the new startup focus on introducing a new product or service based on an unmet need? Should the venture select an existing product or service from one market and offer it in another where it may not be available? Or should the firm bank on a tried and tested formula that has worked elsewhere such as a franchise operation? In the first of a series of podcasts for the Wharton-CERT Business Plan Competition Raffi Amit a professor of management at Wharton discusses these questions and more with Knowledge at Wharton. In the process he offers insights into how entrepreneurs can identify new business opportunities and evaluate their potential and their risks.
