Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.23 Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Technology skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A start-up rents crop-sorting machines to small farms. The machines use sensors to sort faster than hand labor, and rental pricing lets farmers try the technology without buying it. Which description best integrates entrepreneurship, innovation, and productivity?

AThe rental model proves the technology cannot improve output per worker-hour.

BThe start-up organizes technology and a rental model to reduce adoption risk and raise farm productivity.

CThe start-up avoids entrepreneurship because farmers, not founders, use the machines.

DThe sensors matter only if farms stop facing scarcity.

Solution & Explanation:The firm combines a technical innovation with a business model that lowers adoption barriers and can increase sorting output per worker-hour.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A new manufacturing process lowers marginal cost. The firm may lower prices to gain market share or keep prices high if competitors cannot imitate quickly. Which statement best fits?

ALower marginal cost automatically guarantees lower prices in every market.

BProductivity gains never affect a firm's pricing options.

CCompetitors' ability to imitate is unrelated to consumer benefits.

DProductivity gains can lower costs, but consumer price benefits depend on competition and strategy.

Solution & Explanation:A cost-saving innovation expands a firm's options. Whether consumers see lower prices depends on competitive pressure and firm strategy.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A firm invites outside engineers to improve its device design but worries that partners may copy key ideas. Which innovation trade-off is best shown?

AOpen innovation can access external knowledge while increasing intellectual-property risk.

BIntellectual-property risk matters only after a product fails.

CSharing ideas always eliminates all innovation benefits.

DExternal engineers can never contribute useful knowledge.

Solution & Explanation:Collaboration can speed learning and improve design, but firms must manage contracts, secrecy, and ownership of ideas.
