Abstract

This is an exploratory study of how young researchers with specific scientific knowledge, through deep conversations with mentors from industry in a Business Refinement Workshop (BRWS), are likely to change their original business plans, and what the factors are that will stimulate them to take action for business startup. It was found that the BRWS did lead to changes in business plan issues and solutions, but these changes did not necessarily lead to specification of the business plans. It was also found that a positive perception to the discrepancy of the mentors’ comments was a factor that could stimulate startup activity after the workshop.
