The business eco-system

11 May, 2016 - 11:43

Whether you possess the characteristics of an entrepreneurial mindset, or work for someone who does, you can still be instrumental in starting a new venture by understanding the business eco-system. What is a business ecosystem? A business eco-system is a set of business components that form the foundation of a new venture’s creation. Figuratively, the business eco-system is like a wheel that rolls your new venture forward which is why we represent the business eco-system in a wheel-shaped model.
