17 Interviews 46 one-on-one interviews with local entrepreneurs and community leaders and a student focus group 26 interviews with entrepreneurs 20 interviews with community leaders 20 students from Dalton State College Industries Represented in Entrepreneur Interviews Service 34% Retail 28% Manufacturing 17% Finance, Insurance, Real Estate 7% Restaurant 3% Wholesale trade 3% Construction 3% Other 3% Leadership Representation Business/industry sector 35% Public sector 25% Public/private sector 10% Education 10% Nonprofit community 5% Business assistance 5% Industry association 5% Utilities 5% 17
18 Interviews Summary of Findings from Entrepreneur Interviews The entrepreneurs interviewed spanned a range of experience, age, and backgrounds. Resource cited as lacking most in the community is availability of funding. Respondents were asked about obstacles to the future success of their business; over half of responses were items that an incubation program could assist in addressing. Over 80% of respondents said they would be interested in being involved with an incubator to some degree-- both as mentors and as users. 5 respondents said they could see themselves using an incubator s services immediately. 18
19 Interviews Summary of Findings from Leadership Interviews Community leaders expectations of the form a potential incubator might take and outcomes a potential incubator might produce cover a wide spectrum. No one felt that the concept of business incubation has been shared widely enough with the general public. Elected leadership has a better grasp on the concept, but not enough yet. When asked what, specifically, is missing from the community that would be important for an incubation program to be a success, answers ranged from a united community vision and planning activities, to items that lead to entrepreneurial success, to community infrastructure. Despite having some unclear expectations of the process and potential outcomes, the community leadership was overwhelmingly in favor of the creation of a business incubation program. 19
20 Interviews Summary of Findings from Student Focus Group Students participating were part of an upper-level Management Information Systems course in the School of Business. Students were of mixed backgrounds; some were native to Dalton or Georgia, some were from other countries. Students possess a strong understanding of steps required to open a business 75% of students expressed a desire to open their own business Only 37.5% feel like they could start a business in Dalton. Obstacles to starting a business locally include access to capital, customer base, networking opportunities, and attraction. 75% of students felt that a business incubation program could succeed in Dalton. Students cited lack of social, entertainment, and cultural resources as reasons an incubator might not succeed. 20
21 ENTREPRENEURSHIP & INNOVATION 21
22 Core Considerations Strengths & Weaknesses: Entrepreneurship & Innovation Summary of Strengths: Community is rooted in innovation and entrepreneurship Many experienced, talented entrepreneurs living in the community Ease of starting a business locally Summary of Weaknesses: Community is weak in attracting entrepreneurs Minimal intellectual property among businesses, and/or it is not being properly registered and leveraged Few formal and informal networking groups 22
23 COMMUNITY SUPPORT & LEADERSHIP 23
24 Core Considerations Strengths & Weaknesses: Community & Leadership Summary of Strengths: Strong existing infrastructure Interest in participation in an incubation program A likely champion exists in the community Summary of Weaknesses: Public leaders and community not always in alignment on initiatives Unclear expectations among some stakeholder groups about incubator outcomes Low desire for public (financial) support of private enterprises 24
25 RESOURCES & CAPABILITIES 25
26 Core Considerations Strengths & Weaknesses: Resources & Capabilities Summary of Strengths: Extensive local technical and practical expertise Strong local academic institutions Many crucial resources and services are already present in the community Summary of Weaknesses: Lack of access to capital No formal private investment network Lack of centralized hub for entrepreneurs 26
27 Recommendation Conditional Go. Proceed, utilizing the recommendation plan outlined in the detailed report. The team concludes that the Dalton-Whitfield area would benefit from the introduction of a business incubation program, and that the community should move forward on its creation. However, the team proposes that the entity tasked with achieving this goal move with patience and caution, as there are significant key factors that must be addressed before an incubation program can be up and running. 27
