ABSTRACT:In the state-of-the art An Agenda for Future Research, Corbett and McMullen (2011) summarize the current state of the research in the following words -"Despite its many achievements, learning at the connection of free enterprise and cognition has focused primarily on the consequences of what happens when an industrialist profit from various cognitive characteristics, resources, or other dispositions. As such, cognitive study in free enterprise continues to experience from narrow theoretical articulations and weak theoretical practicalities that lower its role to the managerial sciences."According to Santos and Eisenhardt (2004)" entrepreneurs categorize innovative opportunities for the conception of worth, and construct a market around those opportunities" triumphant chance appreciation leads to successful startups and leads to the vibrancy of economy. However, very little work has been done in this field (Mitchell et al., 2014).Key words: Industrial, Authority, Approach, Perceptive, Gratitude, Cognition, Experimental, Inspiration, Proficiency Technical DetailsThe objective is to understand the Cognitive Processes involved in Technological Entrepreneurial Opportunity Recognition. This step involves creating a model with various skill sets that could influence opportunity recognition. Also, the modeling involves identifying the interrelationships between these skills. The second objective establishes the baseline data for the Indian technology entrepreneurs and compares it with their counterparts in USA. This benchmarking can help in establishing aspirational goals and also transforming our education system.

“…Situated cognition is the notion that cognitive activity inherently involves perception and action in the context of a human body situated in a real‐world environment (Mitchell et al . in press; Wilson , p. 626). Early sources of the fundamental ideas of situated cognition can be traced at least to William James and other 19th‐century philosophers and psychologists (Prinz ).…”

This paper reviews and integrates research from both within and outside the entrepreneurship field under the label of 'situated cognition'. Situated cognition is the notion that cognitive activity inherently involves perception and action in the context of a human body situated in a real-world environment. The review concentrates on three areas of the situated cognition literature that have significant implications for research in entrepreneurial cognition: embedded, grounded and distributed cognition. While these three aspects of cognition differ in terms of foci and core theses, they share the common emphasis of viewing and investigating cognitive processes by going beyond the individual mind and paying attention to the human body, (material) objects and other people. Using the theoretical lens of situated cognition provides new insights into current entrepreneurship phenomena such as co-creation and interaction in a shared economy based on new technologies.

“…[Mitchell et al, 2007, p. 3], more recent research has been developing explanations that are interactive and contextualized [Mitchell et al, 2014b[Mitchell et al, , 2011b. Specifically, using the socially situated approach, this research focuses on the idea that the thinking that underlies entrepreneurship is not static but is dynamic: situated within specific people acting within a variety of active environments with varying degrees of distribution of such thinking across minds and tools [Mitchell et al, 2014a]. Thus researchers are not only asking how entrepreneurs think but are also asking what this means for other individuals and organizations, and why this matters for value creation more generally.…”

“…In particular, as we have noted above, entrepreneurial cognition researchers have adopted progressively more dynamic approaches to answer or to otherwise tackle a variety of aspects of understanding how entrepreneur's think [cf. Mitchell et al, 2014aMitchell et al, , 2011a. Nevertheless, the early cognitive approaches to entrepreneurial cognition research that highlighted the idea that static psychological processes underlie entrepreneurial behavior [cf.…”
