  C. The project has got general manager and its own budget
- D.
  
  D. The project is fully incorporated into corporation’s concept of strategy
Correct Answer
C. C. The project has got general manager and its own budget

Explanation
The main indicators that a project has achieved venture status, according to Burgelman (1983), are the presence of a general manager dedicated to the project and the allocation of a separate budget for the project. These indicators suggest that the project has gained sufficient importance and resources within the organization to be considered a venture. The other options, such as technical and marketing development or full commercialization of the product, may be important milestones in the project's progress but do not necessarily indicate venture status.

- A.
  
  A. The product doesn’t sell well

  B. Venture manager might get fired

- D.
  
  D. The product might be not compatible with other company’s products
Correct Answer
C. C. Company might lose a lot of money while fixing not properly working products

Explanation
During the Strategic forcing phase, if a product is commercialized without being fully finished, the worst problem that might occur is that the company might lose a lot of money while fixing the not properly working products. This is because the product's flaws and issues will likely surface once it is in the market, and the company will have to invest significant resources in fixing and improving it. This can lead to financial losses for the company.

The resource orchestration process involves various activities such as structuring, bundling, value creation, and appropriation. Exploitation, on the other hand, does not fit into this process. Exploitation typically has negative connotations and refers to the unethical or unfair use of resources. In the context of resource orchestration, the focus is on effectively and efficiently managing and utilizing resources to create value and achieve organizational goals.

Competition drives both types of organizations to strive for excellence, innovation, and efficiency in order to achieve their goals and fulfill their mission effectively.

The first step in the entrepreneurial process is identifying the opportunity. This involves recognizing a potential market need or problem that can be addressed through a new business venture. It requires entrepreneurs to be observant, creative, and able to spot gaps or opportunities in the market. Once an opportunity is identified, entrepreneurs can move on to defining the business concept, assessing resource requirements, and acquiring the necessary resources to pursue the opportunity. However, without identifying the opportunity in the first place, the entrepreneurial process cannot begin.

This means that start-up entrepreneurs are more likely to be influenced or affected by external factors such as market conditions, competition, and economic trends. On the other hand, corporate entrepreneurship may have more resources, stability, and control over their operations, making them less susceptible to outside influences.

- A.
  
  A. Right
- B.
  
  B. Wrong
Correct Answer
A. A. Right

Sustainable competitive advantage requires a company to have unique resources, capabilities, or strategies that give it a lasting advantage in the market.
