Analysis of “Balanced Skills and Entrepreneurship”

This article describes and attempts to prove that entrepreneurs tend to have a more generalized and diverse skill set as compared to specialists (non-entrepreneurs) because entrepreneurs are only as good as their weakest link but specialists are only as good as their specialty. This theory goes against the school of thought that states “that entrepreneurs are technical specialists who base their new companies on innovation.”
