Methodology
To facilitate its objectives, this report adapts a procedure based on the Cochrane systematic literature review methodology (Higgins & Green 2011). Originating from fields such as healthcare and social sciences, systematic reviews aim to collect empirical evidence that meets predefined criteria to address specific research questions. This approach minimizes bias and provides more reliable findings and conclusions. The methodology is characterized by:
- A clear statement of the objectives with pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
- A systematic search to identify all relevant studies.
- An assessment of the validity of these studies.
- A structured presentation of the findings.
The purpose of this literature review is to investigate how entrepreneurial theories, such as the Lean Startup Methodology and Effectuation Theory, can inform the process of developing a product based on my technical skills as an AWS engineer. Given the resource constraints and time limitations of this project, the eligibility of the source material is restricted to:
- Articles written in English.
- Sources available for full download.
- Works that successfully demonstrate the application of one or both entrepreneurial theories.
Prior to conducting the research, a consideration of the credibility and accessibility of information sources was performed. The sources included peer-reviewed papers, conference presentations, articles from reputable journals, and recognized textbooks relevant to entrepreneurship. Searches were conducted using specific keywords aligned with the research question, such as:
- “Lean Startup Methodology”
- “Effectuation Theory”
- “Entrepreneurship and AWS”
- “Technical entrepreneurship challenges”
- “Product development for engineers”
Research was conducted through various online databases, including Google Scholar, institutional library resources, and relevant academic databases. Following the completion of the searches, pertinent information relating to the successful implementation of Lean Startup and Effectuation Theory in entrepreneurial contexts was extracted and analyzed according to the established eligibility criteria.
