Jaroslav Kaplan is an entrepreneur, business consultant, market researcher, speaker, and published business author specializing in contemporary business thinking and strategies.[1] He is an expert in identifying new sources of growth and sustainability for organizations. He established and currently serves as the president of Kaplan Research Company, a consulting firm.[2][3][4]

Kaplan is the author of "Business Incognita: How to Expand the Boundaries of Entrepreneurial Thinking" and "The Odyssey of Goshio the Goldfish," both of which focus on various facets of value creation and entrepreneurship.[5][6]

Kaplan is a seminar and conference speaker on business, entrepreneurship, product value, business strategies, and market research. He has been quoted in publications such as US Reporter,[7] CEO World,[8] LA Weekly,[9] Digital Journal,[10] MSN,[11] Khaleej Times, and London Insider.

Education

Kaplan completed his master’s in economics from the Riga Technological University of Civil Aviation, graduating in 1997.

Career

In 2015, Kaplan founded Kaplan Research Company, a business consulting company. The company's primary objective is to conduct market research and implement the results to enhance enterprises.[12] Since its inception, the company has been assisting businesses in all industries in attaining their goals and objectives through consulting services.[13]

The same year, Kaplan initiated the Business Intellect IQ Project, a research project that sought to quantify and improve the capacity of entrepreneurs to define and resolve business challenges.[14] Kaplan noticed that only three out of ten businesses survive their tenth anniversary; thus, to determine the cause of the high "business mortality rate" in entrepreneurship, he initiated research into the matter.[15]

During his six years of research, Kaplan compiled a list of the most "common" entrepreneurial mental misconceptions and erroneous beliefs that lead to failure. His debut publication, "The Odyssey of Goshio the Goldfish," was based on these elements. The book functions as a narrative and a structural framework for entrepreneurs and has been translated into fifteen languages.[16]

Kaplan concluded his initial research in 2021 and authored "Business Incognita: How to Expand the Boundaries of Entrepreneurial Thinking."[17] The book was published by one of the largest and most prestigious publishing houses in Russia, Alpina Publisher.

The book is the most comprehensive research work on the perception of value that has ever been accomplished.[18] The book unravels the results of research into Business Intellect as a distinct phenomenon—one that involves posing and resolving problems that arise in the course of entrepreneurial activities.[19] The main focus of analysis in such business tasks is how various target markets perceive the value of products or services. There is no value without having a product, yet the existence of a product does not, by itself, imply high value for the consumer. And that is the dilemma to be solved in the entrepreneurial task.[20]

Professional associations

Kaplan is a member of the International Association of Specialists in Strategic and Competitive Intelligence (SCIP, USA), highlighting his knowledge and authority in the field.[21][22]

In addition to being a recognized business consultant, market researcher, and author, Kaplan is also a public speaker, contributing his insights at various industry conferences and seminars.[23] He has been cited by several publications and media outlets, including US Reporter, CEO World, LA Weekly, Digital Journal, MSN, Khaleej Times, and London Insider. He is also a columnist for Forbes Latvia Magazine.[24]
