摘要：
Entrepreneurs constantly face unexpected and unanticipated situations; those that thrive are ones that are identified by the literature as "improvisational." Yet extant entrepreneurship research has not distinguished what improvisation is from how to do it. I propose training in the principles developed from the theory of performing improvisation promotes the entrepreneurship mindset through pedagogy. Qualitative studies reveal entrepreneurial self-efficacy themes related to interpersonal/team considerations for entrepreneurs, and introduce "improvisational alertness" as a critical entrepreneurship consideration. Entrepreneurs can learn to keenly pay attention to interpersonal conditions of the present and the future in order to adapt potential limitations for venture success.
