Suggest two distinct pieces of information, which if available, would help us, the case analysts, draw more definitive conclusions about whether launching Plain Gold Jewelry at the end of the first year was a good decision, than I have been able to do in my presentation.

Wanted: Entrepreneur by Ron Wirtz A working definition:  A bird's-eye view shows a lot of research on this topic of late. For example, the Entrepreneurship Research & Policy Network (part of the Social Science Research Network) was started in March 2006 and already consists of more than 4,300 papers. Babson College's most recent annual compendium of entrepreneurship research includes close to 200 papers in 26 categories.

For example, we have a much better idea of the socio-demographic characteristics of entrepreneurs: Men are more likely than women to start their own business;…
