“…If the identification of a first, rudimentary idea provides the set-up for a complex problem situation, CPS is relevant for the further objectification of the idea into an opportunity and the development of the opportunity into a concrete prototype, plan, format, and so on (i.e., opportunity enactment). In opportunity enactment, the OI process involves so many complex and ambiguous elements (Pannekoek et al, 2005), that CPS skills could play a role in many different aspects of entrepreneurship that are to be defined in future research. In conclusion, we believe that the entrepreneurship and cognitive literature can benefit from one another on a conceptual level and that an empirical investigation of the relation between OIC and CPS skills could contribute to a more thorough understanding of the initial steps of the entrepreneurial process.…”
