The Concept of Entrepreneurship
 Entrepreneurship is the capacity and desire, along with all of its uncertainties, to
create, organize and operate a business enterprise in order to make a profit.
 Starting new businesses is the most famous example of entrepreneurship.
 It is the process of creating and building a business while taking on financial risks
in the hope of profit.
 Entrepreneurs are innovators and visionaries.
• Innovation-new idea, method or device or products
• Innovator If you refer to someone as a visionary, you mean that they have strong,
original ideas about how things might be different in the future, especially about
how things might be improved. An entrepreneur is more than just a risk taker. He is
a visionary.
• In economics, a profit can be created by entrepreneurship connected with land,
labor, natural resources and capital.
• The entrepreneurial vision is characterized by discovery and risk-taking and is an
integral part of a nation's ability to compete in a global marketplace that is ever
evolving and more competitive.

goods and services.
• Furthermore, it defines a person's ability and willingness to start a business.
Entrepreneurship is considered the fourth factor of production.
• Other words for this are business, employment or livelihood.
• One business principle used in entrepreneurship is called PDCA, or Plan, Do,
Check, Act.
Need to plan, implement the plan, be able to manage and continue to progress.
• Entrepreneurship is not just important for the business itself. It plays a big role in
the economy of a country. First of all, it creates new jobs. When an entrepreneur
starts a business, he or she needs to hire someone else to build the company.
Moreover, entrepreneurship brings economic growth.
