Entrepreneurial Vision

Abstract

In this chapter, we describe a process for building a better understanding of your situational context, in terms of how well developed the market and your idea are as well as whether you have partners yet (or not). Given an understanding of various potential contexts, this will enable you to make early decisions about your network related to building an appropriate entrepreneurial team to best prepare for and execute your future vision.
