ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses suggestions on appropriate evaluations. The goal is to encourage a broad and impartial look at specific types of entrepreneurship and how they can be most appropriately evaluated. Entrepreneurial development offers a chance for significant and transformational adaptation that might be either technical or social in nature. In entrepreneurial transfer, these pioneering efforts are embraced and refined in ways that can lead to wider acceptance. The entrepreneur transferer who helped facilitate this transition was a graduate student and teacher named Stephen Gaskin. Diffusion does so by borrowing ideas and techniques from others instead of constantly “reinventing the wheel.” Entrepreneurs can be involved in this process of borrowing, especially when they are aware of something that was developed elsewhere that has the potential to be useful and productive somewhere else. Entrepreneurship is complicated and far from being a homogeneous endeavor. When specific examples of entrepreneurship are examined, this complexity and its variations need to be recognized.
