Abstract
Recognizing opportunities for new businesses is an important part of the entrepreneurial process, one that researchers seek to explain and human resource managers seek to encourage. In this study, we examined whether the same genetic factors that affect openness to experience also influence recognizing opportunities. We applied bivariate genetics techniques to a sample of twins and found that a substantial part of the heritability of recognizing opportunities is mediated through genetic influences on openness to experience. Evidence of genetic effects on opportunity recognition has important implications for how companies might think about selection and training and raises important ethical issues in human resource management.
