“…The observed traits described in the two bullet points above have parallels in the work of Haynie et al [28] in their situated metacognitive model of the entrepreneurial mindset. It therefore seems likely that in selecting a group of students willing to attend a 48-hour Hackathon event run over the course of a weekend we are also, perhaps unwittingly, selecting a group of students who exhibit entrepreneurial skills in a student company and, by extension, likely to be successful in entrepreneurial activity.…”

Hackathons are a worldwide phenomenon, with both industry and educators considering the opportunities and benefits that they generate. They can provide a forum for innovation, networking, and product design and development, thereby offering multiple outcomes. This paper develops the authors' previous work on the effectiveness of utilising a hackathon as the spark for initiating student entrepreneurial activity by considering the success of the student enterprise that was created as a result and the extent to which that success was attributable to the hackathon event. Using a case study approach, the paper seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of using hackathon-type events to initiate a successful University student enterprise project and to identify the key elements in the future organisation of such a hackathon event that might lead to a sustainable and effective student enterprise. The paper outlines the findings from this project, which focus on the team building and bonding that take place in such an event, and concludes with a series of recommendations from the authors on how one should market and structure a hackathon to best ensure the success of a subsequently formed student enterprise, based on the evaluation of the project one year after it was founded.The evaluation of the project was undertaken as part of the institution's "Student as Producer" initiative where students and staff work side-by-side on research projects. An independent team of undergraduate students was fully involved in all aspects of the project evaluation, including the authoring of this paper.

“…This form of mindfulness may be an important skill that some individuals have (and others can learn) to facilitate the process of failure sensemaking. Finally, it could be that individuals with greater metacognitive awareness-those who think about their thinking (Haynie, Shepherd, Mosakowski, & Earley, 2010;-are most likely to reflect on the current situation in light of their recent failure to develop a plausible story that informs and motivates entrepreneurial action. All of the above variables deserve additional attention, and we believe that taking a sensemaking perspective of failure is likely to push the theoretical boundaries of story construction after a negative event like failure.…”

“…One of the most significant components of a feasibility analysis -which one undertakes before exploiting an entrepreneurial opportunity -is the possession of some unique knowledge (Haynie, Shepherd, Mosakowski, & Earley, 2010). An entrepreneurial idea typically contains an element of innovation, or a novel way of doing business (Schumpeter, 1936;Shane & Venkataraman, 2000).…”
