Olin Business School Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Highly successful entrepreneurial ventures often result from solving problems that have not been solved before (i.e., entrepreneurial problems).

However, developing novel frames of entrepreneurial problems is difficult for two reasons. The symptoms of the problems are ambiguous and unstructured, and the structured information to find the right frame of problems is costly to acquire. …
