Innovative behavior and youth enterpreneur’s success

A conceptual clarification study by Amir (2015) seeked to understand the correlation between
the innovation behavior and the the entrepreneurship behaviour. The scholar noted that the
significance of understanding entrepreneurship and innovation at the individual level amongst the
youth has grown in recent years, which has been confirmed by Marques et al. (2018) , resulting in
the publication of several frameworks (Singh & Gaur, 2018; Sameer, 2018). This is especially true
in big established businesses, where professional innovation and entrepreneurship are in high
demand, as described by Sameer (2018). Research findings of innovation are primarily concerned
with the philosophy of the process of innovation (Amir, 2015). The scholar’s findings demonstrated
that there are two key stages to innovation: idea generation and execution. In another event, the
Individual Work Behavior, is the deliberate development, presentation, and execution of new
proposals inside a work role, unit, or institution to promote team effectiveness, the cluster.
Researchers like De jong & Den Hartog (2007) adhere to this concept, emphasizing the beginning
and introduction of effective and helpful concepts, processes, commodities, or methods. Innovative
behavior, in its broadest sense, is a concept that encompasses all actions that workers might use to
participate to the innovation process in the entrepreneural environment.
Although it is critical to understand the link between entrepreneurship and innovation behavior
in organizations, as decribed by Amir (2015), experts have examined the relationships at different
levels and categories ranging from organizational, individual, professionals, and the youth level.
Marques et al. (2018) who examined the relationship between entrepreneurship and innovative
behavior at the person level, revealed that there exist a substantial correlation between the two
ideas. According to the scholars, the connection is explicitly expanded using a behavioural
framework and an information processing lens. Innovators, like their young entrepreneurs
counterparts, take use of others in the idea generating process. The researchers evaluated how
inventors perceive the sequence of phenomena in idea development and idea commercialization
using pattern matching philosophy. Furthermore, the issue is described by locus of control principle,
specifically on how innovators endure and do their valiant work in attaining their objectives, open
to modifications and different ideas, yet careful and rich of prudence in expecting catastrophe. Both
academics and managers may benefit from these discoveries (Azoulay et al., 2020). The researchers
proposed a further empirical research to elucidate these relationships, such as detailed evaluations
of new entrepreneurs and innovation behavior, or the assessment employed by academics for the
two categories.
Idea creation, concept propagation, and dedicated to making or execution are three separate
behavioural activities in the process of innovation, as discussed by Marques et al. (2018). A study
carried out by Azoulay et al. (2020) demonstrated that youth might generate ideas when they meet
issues, inconsistencies, or shortfalls in their regular job in the entrepreneurship career. It may also
be gleaned whenever the youth carefully investigate their surroundings, including a prospective
rival's maneuver or a rising trend. Then, creative youths strive to wisely gather and organize
information about this prospect. Innovators are thought to be more effective at utilising and
obtaining all of the knowledge look forward to the opportunity than others. To describe this
behavior, the researchers named it equipped mind. Individuals with a trained mind assess facts
regarding their surroundings skillfully and synthesize it with prior intelligence and the ability to
select, organize, and display it as valuable advice. Assessment and testing are often required at the
brainstorming sessions stage to guarantee that the concept is in excellent condition and can be
pushed to others.
The attempts to influence and inspire those who might become patrons or funders of ideas has
been described by Kim et al. (2018) as idea promotion, which is necessary for for success in
entrepreneurship. Nguyen et al. (2019) study found that such entities are able to exert the
appropriate persuasion such that the proposals are accepted by those concerned. Shahab et al.
(2018) describes the endeavor to gain these sociopolitical backing as championing. According to the
above researchers, persons who advocate are organizing resources, convincing and inspiring others,
promoting, bargaining, questioning, and pushing boundaries, requires inovation behavior to register
success. With equiped mind, selling the ideas successfully will gain legitimacy and acceptance from
both within and beyond the organization, allowing the ideas to be implemented. Nevertheless, Amir
(2015) asserts that the much more complicated the new suggested innovations are, the further
diverse the expertise, ability, and responsibilities of allies need to support and bring them to fruition.
According to Nguyen et al. (2019), the youth strive to get their proposals accepted into a
framework that could be utilized or implemented in multiple divisions or departments within the
business during the Project execution. Often, innovators must change and routineize the program
for this goal. De Jong & Den Hartog (2007) posited that this stage requires a high level of
dedication to ensure that the user's functionalities and advantages are understood. Although it will
vary greatly depending on the sort of invention, the much more creative and less pragmatic the
thoughts are, the less likely they will be accepted by others, and the greater the ambiguity about
their usefulness.
Amir (2015) asserts that opportunity as classification technique describes how an entrepreneur
discovers the link between seemingly unrelated occurrences by detecting relevant patterns .
Entrepreneur may, for example, detect a link between economic trends, digital innovations, and
changing consumer habits and see an opportunity. To summarize, Kim et al. (2018) et al., elucidates
that cognitive frameworks help people see important patterns, and they include innovators. To
identify how entrepreneurs utilize their social environment to detect an opportunity, De Jong & Den
Hartog (2007) created a systematic approach of converting original ideas into a company concept
after studying sequentially successful entrepreneurs. Information searching, content scanning,
resource assessment, and pondering are four interrelated activities. According to the scholars, the
entourage, the activity set, and the matrix of weak linkages are three forms of social environment
that impact the process of opportunity formation. When conducting idea generating, idea
propagation, and idea execution, the researchers proposed grasping the adaptive strategy with the
above four steps of opportunity development. Nguyen et al. (2019) asserts that such innovation
characters and behaviours are vital in youth entrepreneurship.
