Bessant and Tidd (2007: 1) see it as being innovative and competitive. They state that: 'One person's problem is another's opportunity and the nature of innovation is that it is fundamentally about entrepreneurship. The skill to spot opportunities and create new ways to exploit them is at the heart of the innovation process. Entrepreneurs are risk-takers - but they calculate the costs of taking a bright idea forward against the potential gains if they succeed in doing something different - especially if that involves upstaging the players already in the game.' They also see a close link between creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation (2007: 37). Commenting on the fact that most entrepreneur research has been conducted in the USA, and may not apply worldwide (2007: 42) they note that: '... in the specific case of technical entrepreneurs there appears to be some consensus regarding the necessary personal characteristics.' They identify the two main characteristics as: an internal locus of control - that is to say, a conviction that they (rather than circumstances or someone else) are in charge of their own lives a high need for achievement (nAch) - which is not the same as a need for success They associate the second characteristic with 'moderate risk-taking but not gambling or irrational risk-taking.'
