Building on pragmatism, we advance an entrepreneur-as-scientist perspective and depict entrepreneurs as engaging in causally inferential action by forming beliefs, testing these responding to the feedback received. However, this sequence of entrepreneurial actions arrives with a set companion doubts, namely doubt about product-market fit because entrepreneurs’ beliefs are self-chosen, validity from false positives or negatives, over- underfitting responses feedback. We discuss rationality heuristics deployed entrepreneur overcome doubts. Our insights contribute micro-foundations strategy explaining how generate information produce value out uncertainty.

Traits that predict whether an employee will generate promising new ideas do not necessarily they also implement those ideas. This is especially relevant within the public sector, which typically more risk averse than private and where barriers to innovation include staff resistance, rigid organizational structures, a lack of shared goals. To shed light on why some sector employees are better intrapreneurs others, we examine role risk-taking, emotional empathy, cognitive empathy likelihood implementation. Using sample who attended prominent design thinking bootcamp run by Bangladeshi Prime Ministers Office, results indicate individuals likely their innovative if have higher risk-taking propensity, but lower empathy. We find evidence for 'empathy divergence thesis' setting, extending growing from neuroscience psychology distinct processes with divergent effects behavior.

How can stakeholder theory contribute to opportunity theory? We suggest that affords appropriate theoretical lenses for grounding the opportunity-actualization perspective more firmly within real-world constraints of business venturing. Actualization departs from a strong focus on entrepreneurial agency conceptualize how pre-existing environmental conditions determine what action achieve. explain strengthen outward-looking orientation actualization by (1) bringing entirety stakeholders centre-stage, beyond narrow market stakeholders, and (2) stressing importance noneconomic considerations economic opportunities. Our theorization culminates in concept ‘strategic thinking’ (SOT). SOT as way protecting entrepreneurs blind-to-stakeholders mindset either sleepwalks them into territory non-opportunity or prevents real yet difficult-to-actualize opportunities absence stakeholder-centric thinking.
