Answer to Question 2
The three ways that entrepreneurs identify new business, product, and service opportunities are through observing trends, solving a problem, and finding gaps in the marketplace. The first approach to identifying opportunities is to observe trends and study how they create opportunities to pursue. Economic forces, social factors, technological advances, and political action and regulatory changes are the most important trends to follow. The second approach to identifying opportunities is solving a problem. Sometimes identifying opportunities simply involves noticing a problem and finding a way to solve it. These problems can be pinpointed through observing trends and through more simple means (e.g., intuition, serendipity, or chance). The third approach is finding gaps in the marketplace. This approach is accomplished by finding a need that customers have that is not being satisfied-by either large, established firms or entrepreneurial ventures. Large retailers like Wal-Mart, Costco, and Home Depot compete primarily on price by serving large groups of customers with similar needs. They do this by offering the most popular items targeted towards mainstream consumers. While this approach allows the large retailers to achieve economies of scale, it leaves gaps in the marketplace. Entrepreneurs step in to start businesses to fill these gaps. There are also gaps in the marketplace that represent consumer needs that aren't being met by anyone.
