Question Title Entrepreneurial Innovation
Question Description

SEMESTER SPRING 2020

Entrepreneurship (MGT602)

Graded Discussion Board

Due Date: June 08, 2020

Marks: 5

Topic: Reluctance in entrepreneurial innovation

Learning Objectives:
To explain the critical role of innovation in the context of international entrepreneurship. To explain the reluctance factors in entrepreneurial innovation.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will learn the reasons for entrepreneurs for being hesitant towards innovation. The students will be able to enlist and critically analyze the role of internal and external factors to stop innovation.
Scenario:

By going global, an entrepreneur generates greater opportunities of wealth making and employment generation to benefit individuals across the borders. In the meanwhile, international entrepreneurship demands innovative business solutions to face hyper competition. This notion confirms the buzz “Innovate or Die” for the entire entrepreneur community across the globe. International entrepreneurs must list down the sources of change and innovation and then purposefully apply the principles of successful innovation to avoid starvation on the canvas of disruption and innovation. Entrepreneurs attached to manufacturing SMEs in Pakistan struggle to take innovation based initiatives. During manufacturing of goods for international brands these SMEs can be observed obeying multiple quality standards to comply multinationals’ requirements only, but with no real innovation. The reluctance towards innovation is either caused by internal (Organization and personal) or external (Environmental) factors.

Point of discussion:

Provide argument to clarify either the reluctance towards innovation is stressed by internal or external factors. (5 Marks)

Note:

(Write at least four points to support your argument)
