About

What is Effectuation?

Effectuation is a mode of action and logic that expert entrepreneurs use to create succesful ventures under high degrees of uncertainty. Effectuation can be learned and practiced, and has been integrated into many of the world's top entrepreneurship programs. It was first articulated by Prof Saras Sarasvathy 20 years ago under the supervision of Herbert Simon, a Nobel laureate in Economics, and is garnering great interest in Japan not only in the startup community but also among marketers and management consultants.

About the Effectuation Conference 2022

This is the first conference on effectuation to be held in Japan and Asia. We are thrilled to have Prof Saras Sarasvathy join us for the conference, which will help launch a new community of effectual entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and supporters in Japan, dedicated to co-creating the foundations necessary for transforming Japan into the next 20 years. We look forward to sharing practices and insights for building local communities, developing talent, and creating new industries from Hiroshima and beyond.
