Entrepreneurship in service institutions refers to the practice of applying entrepreneurial skills and
mindset in the creation and management of service-based businesses. Service institutions are
organizations that provide intangible services to customers, such as education, healthcare, hospitality,
finance, and consulting.

Entrepreneurship in service institutions involves identifying market opportunities, developing innovative


services, designing effective delivery systems, managing resources and personnel, and creating
sustainable business models. Entrepreneurs in service institutions must also be able to adapt to
changing customer needs, regulatory environments, and technological advancements.

Entrepreneurship in service institutions can be seen in various forms, including social entrepreneurship,
intrapreneurship, and franchise entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurship involves creating social value
by addressing societal problems, such as poverty, health, education, and environmental sustainability,
through innovative service-based solutions. Intrapreneurship involves applying entrepreneurial skills and
mindset within existing organizations to develop new service offerings, improve processes, and increase
efficiency. Franchise entrepreneurship involves leveraging existing service institution brands and
systems to start and operate new service-based businesses.

Overall, entrepreneurship in service institutions is essential for driving innovation, creating jobs, and
improving the quality and accessibility of services for customers.

Peter Drucker's book "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" provides insights into various sources of
innovative opportunities. Some of the sources are:

1) Unexpected occurrences: Unexpected events or changes in the market, technology, or society


can create opportunities for innovation. For example, the emergence of smartphones created
new opportunities for businesses to develop mobile apps.
2) Incongruities: Incongruities arise when there is a gap between what customers expect and what
is currently being offered. This gap can create opportunities for businesses to offer new or
improved products or services. For example, the lack of affordable electric cars in the market
creates an opportunity for entrepreneurs to develop more affordable electric vehicles.
3) Process needs: Process needs refer to opportunities for innovation in improving the efficiency or
effectiveness of existing processes. For example, the introduction of online shopping has
transformed the traditional brick-and-mortar retail industry.
4) Changes in industry and market structure: Changes in industry and market structure can create
new opportunities for innovation. For example, the shift towards renewable energy sources
creates new opportunities for businesses to develop innovative solutions.
5) Demographics: Changes in demographics, such as aging populations or changing lifestyles, can
create opportunities for innovation. For example, the increase in demand for healthy food
options has led to the growth of the health food industry.
6) New knowledge: New knowledge, discoveries, or inventions can create opportunities for
innovation. For example, the discovery of DNA has led to the development of personalized
medicine.

Overall, Peter Drucker's book highlights the importance of being aware of the sources of innovative
opportunities and using them to drive innovation and entrepreneurship.
