e Entrepreneurial Eqo hat makes an entrepreneur tick? What is his prime motivation? What differentiates him from his colleagues in the business community? Four experts met in the Boston office of Touche Ross recently to discuss the factors that produce successful entrepreneurs. How much do they determine their own destinies? How much is controlled by external circumstances? How important in the equation are financial management, marketing know-how, and the product itself? The discussion by these experts focuses on the entrepreneurial climate as well as entrepreneurial psychology. It analyzes priorities and decision making. We hope it offers an insight into what it takes to be an entrepreneur. The participants were: LU Patrick Liles, partner, Charles River Partnership, a venture capital firm; he has written on the motivation of entrepreneurs. Howard Stevenson, Sarofin-Rock Chair in entrepre-neurship at Harvard Business School; he has consulted with and conducted lectures and seminars for entrepreneurs. He previously was chief financial officer of a rapidly growing entrepreneurial firm. Barry Unger, consultant to technology-based companies and a founder/officer of several high-technology companies; he also is a co-founder and vice-chairman of the MIT Enterprise Forum, which assists high-tech start-ups. John Keydel, partner-in-charge of Touche Ross's Boston office—moderator. Since this discussion, he has been named executive director of Touche Ross International. The questions presented by Keydel appear in italics.
