User:ZHAOFU WANG/Entrepreneurial resources

“Entrepreneurial resources” will be an article written by Zhaofu Wang in Wikipedia associated with “Wikipedia: WikiProject Business“. It will explain the meaning of “Entrepreneurial resources” in terms of various business workers, and further discuss the acquisition process of an additional “Entrepreneurial resources” by demonstrating scientific evidence. For promising the notability as well as neutrality of this article, the article will be closely linked to five academic journals and divide into four sections. Each section will be tied at least to one journal or databases with proper usage of graphs and maps. Some facts regard this topic in the academic world will be discuss and some factors will affect business workers acquiring entrepreneurial resources will be further explain. In the end, for demonstrating original research, authors will leave self-comments through editing each section when he further consults his tutors.

The first section called “Economic” will explain the strategy and method of finding plus-financial resources. Two articles the author decides to quote are “Entrepreneurial Resources: Where to Look?”( Esler et al, 2011), and “Strategies and Tools for Entrepreneurial Resource Access: A Cross‐disciplinary Review and Typology”( Rawhouser et al 2017); this article introduce software and methodologies applied in various industries. For example, the two databases introduced by Esler and related authors, “EBSCO and ProQuest” allows business founders access to similar industry and read their stories. Providing these can help readers locate there professional area and better understand professional-used resources. On the other hand, the comments left by Rawhouser and his partners have based over 50 successful business. Through quoting their neutral comments in their research, the article can step in higher neutrality and notability. The second section named “Facts” is a section suggesting problems existing in the process finding plus entrepreneurial resources and using previous entrepreneurs’ experiences. It will reveal an lack of authorized Entrepreneurial-resources-categorization problem for readers. When Zhaofu self-researching this topic, he found that many economists are trying to find the rhythms and essence applying previous experience to a new business; therefore, he decides to further explain the process through showing some obstacles might affect entrepreneurs. The resources he decides to quote is an interview conducted in Singapore towards 128 high-tech entrepreneurs (Jing Zhang 2010) and the previous commenting materials are given by Rawhouser(2017), to clarify that the social network is essential to entrepreneur. These can conclude that a lack of social networks might lag the industries development. However, in the comments provided by Rawhouser and other researchers revealed that entrepreneurs are looking for resources to manage their industries might affect by different criteria and resource categorization provided by different social network (Rawhouser 2017). Although the two studies are paradox while quoting, through providing negative comments and essential judgements towards the methodologies of acquiring and clarifying Entrepreneurial resources, the common consensus of Wikipedia ecology can be better protected. The third section named “Social understanding” is a section that mainly relies on quoting diverse successful entrepreneur’s experience. As entrepreneurs across different industries, the solutions provide to different readers cannot only be the software in section one. Another solution the Zhaofu comes out is providing inspiring stories for them finding the expert or books. The author acknowledged that he would add more quotations supported by searching more resources and practicing higher level Wiki-page management skills; these require further communication with the tutors in the rest of this semester. Currently, the most credited sources he has found is the book “The new entrepreneurial leader developing leaders who shape social and economic opportunity” (Greenberg, 2011). According to the Greenberg written in the Foreword, “In years past, the keywords for leaders were confidence, single-minded purpose, and strategic planning. But today's vastly complex, globalized, and the fast-evolving world requires a different kind of leadership” (Greenberg et al. 2011) The best option for readers to solve resources problem might be finding or forming group. Some different voices given by others is a review for the Greenberg’s book written by Lang, J.in 2013 Because a mixed idea can maintain a neutral perspective in editing “Social understanding” section. The last section is an end section named “Further experimentation resources and author’s comments”. It will demonstrate culture- factor influences with providing journals and Zhao's self-comments regarding solving resources scarcity. The author only found limited journals in terms of cultural diversity influences. The journal he found is a sample researching running businesses in Asian countries (Zhang et al. 2011), and he will consult tutor and library managers for more. The journal provides reliable research regarding over one hundred ventures conducted in different part of China and Singapore (Zhang, et al. 2011). The key to demonstrating results is finding symmetries and culture obstacles in the world. The research comes out that social network is vital for entrepreneurs in China and Singapore. The author also has found some other books in term of managing resources’ do and prohibitions in foreign countries, but have not finished reading. A further conclusion will be provided to readers to extra inspire them editing this page. Since anybody can be an entrepreneur, the Wiki hyperlinks which contain resources management and materials introduction can be categorized in the end for readers; therefore, this article can grow up quickly with neutral judgement in developing various industries. The author trying to create a table or academic box for readers to help them better understand those required academic terminologies when it comes to high-tech materials management. The author will also start a discussion on the Wikiproject platform, sharing his idea to others, creating enormous pleasure.
