摘要：

Technological innovations are usually thought to create business opportunities that are unequivocal and readily apparent to any knowledgeable observer. Drawing on Austrian economics, this article portrays the recognition of such opportunities as distinctive cognitive feats whose accomplishment is conditioned by an entrepreneur's prior experience and education. In-depth case studies demonstrate the multiple opportunities that can arise from a single innovation.
