Misslyckandedekonstruktion - en metod att analysera tidigt entreprenöriellt misslyckande
Entrepreneurial failure is probably a subject that is not well understood. This might have to do with the methodological difficulties of screening out failed entrepreneurs. In this thesis a tool is developed for analyzing supposed entrepreneurial failure. In this model entrepreneurs are surrounded by different stake holders. By using the failure deconstruction model to analyze my own entrepreneurial effort I find that it has neither been a successful project nor a disastrous one. A few conclusions are drawn from the analysis; when studying entrepreneurial failure in general one must make sure to use an output-independent definition of entrepreneurship. This must be done in order to prevent methodological elimination of the studied population. Another conclusion drawn was that the engagement and closeness of an entrepreneurial stake holder was in correlation with the harshness of the failure verdict. At the end of the thesis a model for analyzing nascent entrepreneurial failure from a stake holder perspective is developed. The failure model might be a valuable tool for evaluating and determining a ?failure label? of arbitrary entrepreneurial efforts.
