Entrepreneurial team refers to a special group composed of a group of people who can complement each other, take responsibility and are willing to work for the same entrepreneurial goal in the early stage of entrepreneurship (including pre-entrepreneurship and early stage of entrepreneurship).
The formation of entrepreneurial team
First, the basic principles of entrepreneurial team formation
1. The principle of clear and reasonable goals. The goal must be clear, so that team members can clearly understand what the direction of struggle is. At the same time, the goal must be reasonable and feasible in order to truly achieve the purpose of motivation.
2. The principle of complementarity. The reason why entrepreneurs seek teamwork is to bridge the gap between entrepreneurial goals and their own abilities. Only when team members complement each other in knowledge, skills and experience. Can we play through mutual cooperation? 1+ 1 & gt; 2? Synergistic effect.
3. The principle of streamlining and high efficiency. In order to reduce operating costs and share the results to the greatest extent during the start-up period, the composition of entrepreneurial team members should be simplified as much as possible under the premise of ensuring the efficient operation of enterprises.
4. The principle of dynamic openness. Entrepreneurial process is a process full of uncertainty. People in the team may be leaving because of their abilities, ideas, etc., while others are asking to join. Therefore, when establishing an entrepreneurial team, we should pay attention to keeping the team dynamic and open, so that the real perfect match can be absorbed into the entrepreneurial team.
Second, the main factors affecting the formation of entrepreneurial teams
The formation of entrepreneurial team is influenced by many factors, which interact with each other and affect the formation process, and further affect the operational efficiency after the team is completed.
1. Entrepreneur. The ability and ideology of entrepreneurs fundamentally determine whether to form an entrepreneurial team, the timetable for team formation and who will form the team. Only when entrepreneurs realize that forming a team can make up the gap between their own abilities and entrepreneurial goals can they consider whether it is necessary to form an entrepreneurial team and make an accurate judgment on when and what kind of personnel need to be introduced to supplement themselves.
2. Business opportunities. Different types of business opportunities need different types of entrepreneurial teams. Entrepreneurs should decide whether to form a team, when to form a team and how to form a team according to the matching degree between entrepreneurs and business opportunities.
3. Team goals and values. * * * The same values and unified goals are the prerequisites for forming an entrepreneurial team. If team members don't agree with the team goal, it is impossible to wholeheartedly cooperate with other team members and * * * to achieve this goal. Different values will directly lead team members to leave the team in the process of starting a business, thus weakening the role of the entrepreneurial team. Without consistent goals and values, even if an entrepreneurial team is formed, it will not be able to effectively play a synergistic role and lack combat effectiveness.
4. Team members. The sum of team members' abilities determines the overall ability and development potential of the entrepreneurial team. Complementarity of talents of entrepreneurial team members is a necessary condition for the formation of entrepreneurial team. Mutual trust among team members is the basis of forming a team. Lack of mutual trust will directly lead to obstacles to cooperation among team members.
5. External environment. The survival and development of entrepreneurial teams are directly affected by many external factors, such as institutional environment, infrastructure services, economic environment, social environment, market environment, resource environment and so on. These external environmental factors indirectly affect the demand for entrepreneurial team types from a macro perspective.
Third, the establishment procedure and main work of the entrepreneurial team
The formation of entrepreneurial team is a rather complicated process. Different types of entrepreneurial projects need different teams, and the steps of creating projects are not exactly the same. Generally speaking, the general formation procedure is shown in the figure.
The main work of enterprise team formation:
1. The overall goal of the entrepreneurial team is to realize the enterprise from scratch and from start to maturity by completing the work of technology, market, planning, organization and management in the entrepreneurial stage. After the overall goal is determined, in order to promote the team to finally achieve the entrepreneurial goal, the overall goal is decomposed and several feasible and phased sub-goals are set.
2. Make a business plan. After determining the sub-goals and general goals of each stage, it is necessary to study how to achieve these goals, which requires a careful business plan. The business plan is a team-based plan based on the specific decomposition of business objectives. The entrepreneurial plan determines the phased tasks that need to be completed in different stages of entrepreneurship, and through the gradual realization of these phased goals, the entrepreneurial goals are finally realized.
3. Recruit suitable personnel. Recruiting the right people is also the most critical step in the formation of entrepreneurial teams. Regarding the recruitment of entrepreneurial team members, there are two main considerations: one is to consider complementarity, that is, to consider whether they can complement other members in terms of ability or technology. The formation of this complementarity will not only help to strengthen the cooperation among team members, but also ensure the combat effectiveness of the whole team and give full play to the role of the team. Generally speaking, an entrepreneurial team needs at least three talents in management, technology and marketing. Only after these three talents form a good communication and cooperation relationship can the entrepreneurial team achieve stability and efficiency; The second is to consider moderate scale, which is an important condition to ensure the efficient operation of the team. Too few team members can not realize the functions and advantages of the team, while too many may cause communication obstacles, and the team is likely to split into many smaller groups, which will greatly weaken the cohesion of the team. It is generally believed that the scale of entrepreneurial team is best controlled between 2- 12.
4. Division of functions and powers. In order to ensure that the team members carry out the business plan and carry out all the work smoothly, it is necessary to divide the functions and powers within the team in advance. The division of functions and powers of the entrepreneurial team is to determine the responsibilities and corresponding rights of each team member according to the needs of implementing the entrepreneurial plan. The division of powers between team members must be clear, so as to avoid overlapping and overlapping of powers and avoid work omissions caused by no one being responsible. In addition, because we are still in the process of starting a business, the entrepreneurial environment we face is dynamic and complex, new problems will appear constantly, and team members may change constantly. Therefore, the functions and powers of entrepreneurial team members should be constantly adjusted according to needs.
5. Build an entrepreneurial team system. The entrepreneurial team system embodies the entrepreneurial team's ability to control and motivate its members, mainly including various restraint systems and various incentive systems of the team. On the one hand, the entrepreneurial team guides its members through various restraint systems (mainly including discipline regulations, organization regulations, financial regulations, confidentiality regulations, etc.). ) avoid behaviors that are not conducive to team development, thus effectively restraining your own behavior and ensuring the stable order of the team. On the other hand, an entrepreneurial team needs effective incentive mechanism (mainly including benefit distribution scheme, reward and punishment system, assessment standards, incentive measures, etc.). ) to achieve efficient operation, so that team members can see how their interests will change with the realization of entrepreneurial goals, so as to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of members and maximize the role of team members. . To achieve effective incentives, we must first clarify the income model of members, especially in matters closely related to the interests of team members, such as equity, rewards and punishments. It should be noted that the system of entrepreneurial team should be determined in a standardized written form to avoid unnecessary confusion.
6. Team adjustment and integration. The perfect combination of entrepreneurial team can not be established at the beginning of the venture, and it is often gradually formed after the enterprise develops to a certain period of time. With the operation of the team, the irrationality in personnel allocation, system design and division of powers will gradually be exposed, so it is necessary to adjust and integrate the team. Because the exposure of problems requires a process, the adjustment and integration of the team should also be a dynamic and continuous process. As shown in figure 1, after completing the previous work steps, the team adjusts the previous steps continuously to meet the actual needs. In the process of team adjustment and integration, the most important thing is to ensure effective communication and coordination among team members, cultivate and strengthen team spirit and improve team morale.
How do entrepreneurial teams do a good job in equity allocation?
Do a good job in equity distribution, and the entrepreneurial team can survive and develop better. For the distribution of equity, some companies are very confused and often make decisions. Here, I want to talk to you about the issue of equity distribution, so as to do a good job in equity distribution.
1, form of equity distribution
The premise of equity distribution is to introduce partners or other shareholders, so one person accounts for all the shares and is not considered. Most enterprises adopt two ways: distribution according to the proportion of shareholders' investment and average distribution. But they also have some disadvantages:
If the shares are distributed according to the proportion of shareholders' capital contribution, there will be a situation in which one person holds more shares, or one person holds more shares than the sum of other shareholders' shares. As a startup, the more shareholders in the early stage, the greater the possibility of future separation. Especially in the case of good business development and rich profits in the future, it is inevitable for shareholders to find another way out, enjoy success, relax and be lazy. However, adopting the method of equal distribution of shareholders will easily lead to no decision-making, mutual prevarication or power struggle, and weaken the control of the core founders over the company.
At the beginning of starting a business, or when introducing other partners and shareholders, entrepreneurs must be aware of the importance of equity distribution, and must not bury hidden dangers because of busy affairs or blind self-confidence in the early stage of starting a business. Let's be honest, shall we? .
2, the principle of equity distribution
First, the contribution of resources. Considering the way, amount and time of investment, investment can be subdivided into currency, intellectual property rights and fixed assets.
Second, the control of corporate governance. From the experience of shareholders, or proficiency in products, users, markets and internal management.
Third, the company's future development space. Considering the future enterprise financing, talent introduction, the enthusiasm, dedication and firmness of shareholders.
3. Landing of equity distribution
The equity distribution plan shall complete the due industrial and commercial registration and filing. In order to solve the problem of inconsistency between capital contribution and equity ratio, some entrepreneurs often sign yin-yang agreements, that is, on the one hand, they sign investment agreements to fix the real equity ratio, on the other hand, they complete industrial and commercial registration according to the capital contribution ratio. However, this practice has certain legal risks. It can be solved by means of equity premium. That is, entrepreneurs sign a capital contribution agreement, specify the actual capital contribution and equity ratio between shareholders, convert the capital contribution according to the equity ratio for industrial and commercial registration, and then record the part exceeding the registered capital contribution into the capital reserve fund.
The above is what I provided for college students to form an entrepreneurial team. I hope you like it!
