Surviving to Long-Term Thriving Through Augmented Entrepreneurial Resourcefulness:An Extension to Jeffrey McMullen’s “Real Growth Through Entrepreneurial Resourcefulness: Insights on the Entropy Problem from Andy Weir’s The Martian”
Artificial intelligence and abiotic growth mechanisms such as 3-D printing, crystalline growth, and nano reproduction are resources that are increasingly available to entrepreneurs. These resources can fundamentally define the entrepreneurial resourcefulness model play allowing the entrepreneur to significantly reduce the entropy of their own efforts and become much more efficient. Expanding on the McMullen (2022) model, we argue that these resources can, through repeated iterations, allow the entrepreneur to retain additional value from their labour for their own benefits. This value that will compound through iterations; facilitating, even in a closed system, wealth creation such that the entrepreneur is no longer struggling to survive, but potentially working to thrive.
