Lecture 1
Effectuation and the Effectual Design Cycle
![Page 2: Lecture 1 Effectuation and the Effectual Design Cycle](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f275503460f94c3fd89/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Effectuation
• A logic of thinking that uniquely serves entrepreneurs in starting businesses
• Provides a way to control a future that is inherently unpredictable

The Entrepreneurial Quadrant
![Page 4: Lecture 1 Effectuation and the Effectual Design Cycle](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f275503460f94c3fd89/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Effectuation?
• Ideas - Effectuation advances ideas toward sellable products and services with proven customers.
• Stakeholder Commitments - Using effectuation, the entrepreneur interacts in search of self-selecting partners to co-create the venture with.
• Decisions - Experts entrepreneurs use a set of techniques that serve as the foundation for making decisions about what to do next.

Effectuation
IS:
• A thinking framework
• A set of heuristics • Doing the do-able • How to get the sellable
products and services established
IS NOT:
• A system to tell you what to do
• An algorithm • “Not planning” • A way to launch an entire
business

Effectual Cycle
![Page 8: Lecture 1 Effectuation and the Effectual Design Cycle](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f275503460f94c3fd89/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Startup - Option 1 • • Do market research and competitive
analyses to figure out target market segments• • Develop marketing strategies, calculate
cost/price margins, and make financial projections
• • Make a business plan, raise resources, hire a team and build your venture.
![Page 9: Lecture 1 Effectuation and the Effectual Design Cycle](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f275503460f94c3fd89/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Startup – Option 2• Begin with who you are, what you know and
who you know and begin DOING the doable with as little resources invested as possible
• • In particular, begin interacting with a wide variety of potential stakeholders and negotiating actual commitments
• • Let the actual commitments reshape the specific goals of the venture
• • Repeat the process until the chain of stakeholders and commitments converges to a viable new venture

Two Chefs• Chef 1
– Plans menu Buys food Cooks dinner
• Chef 2 – Explores cupboards and fridge WHILE cooking
dinner

Entrepreneurial Means
1) Who they are – their traits, tastes and abilities;
2) What they know – their education, training, expertise, and experience; and,
3) Who they know – their social and professional networks.

Four Aspects of Effectuation
• Bird In Hand
• Affordable Loss
• Lemonade
• Patchwork Quilt
• Pilot in the Plane

Option 1 – Causal Logic• Analysis precedes action• Time and/or other resources are invested in upfront
information gathering• Accuracy of prediction and clarity of goals drive the
resource-acquisition process• Here the key is to bring the right people on board
who can deliver on the pre-selected targets• Control over outcomes is achieved by being one step
ahead of the trends and the competition• Risk management involves the careful avoidance of
failure at all costs
![Page 18: Lecture 1 Effectuation and the Effectual Design Cycle](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f275503460f94c3fd89/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Option 2 – Effectual Logic• Action and interaction with others precede and drive the entire
process• Creative energies are focused on building the venture with virtually
no resources invested– each stakeholder invests only what he or she can afford to or is
willing to lose• Unpredictability itself is seen as a resource – hence the emphasis
on non-predictive strategies• Who comes on board determines the goals and shape of the new
venture and its market• Control is achieved by doing the doable and continually
transforming current realities into new and unforeseen possibilities• Risk management involves keeping failures small and having them
happen early, and then building upon them for future success.
