Title
User experience as a driver of entrepreneurial innovation
Abstract
UX and entrepreneurship are connected in ways that have not been fully elaborated in theory or practice. This manuscript addresses that gap by outlining how UX can contribute to entrepreneurship education and training. UX is particularly useful for the growing class of “user entrepreneurs,” who innovate solutions to problems they encounter while using existing technologies. Through UX training, more users can progress along a continuum from a general user who innovates for personal use to an entrepreneur who commercializes solutions to user-problems. Furthermore, UX research can actually spur innovation by revealing user experience problems that demand new solutions.
