OVERVIEW OF EFFECTUATION
The startup phase of a new company is one of the most “uncertain” and unpredictable situations a business person can be in. It is chaotic, exciting, surprising, and the future is unknown. Expert entrepreneurs figure out ways to navigate these choppy waters – turning big surprises into the utterly mundane. It’s pretty amazing.
Effectuation is a logic of thinking, discovered through scientific research, used by expert entrepreneurs to build successful ventures. In this faculty development workshop, Dr. Saras Sarasvathy will give an introduction to Effectuation as well as teaching resources for faculty to enable to them to effectively teach effectuation at their organizations and institutes.
Effectuation is widely acclaimed as a rigorous framework for understanding the creation and growth of new organizations and markets. The research program based on effectuation involves over a hundred scholars from around the world whose published and working papers can be found at www.effectuation.org.
