Introduction:
An entrepreneur is a person who organizes a
venture to benefit from an opportunity, rather than
working as an employee. Entrepreneurs play a key
role in any economy. These are the people who have
the skills and initiative necessary to anticipate current
and future needs and bring good new ideas to market.
Entrepreneurs who prove to be successful in taking
on the risks of a start-up are rewarded with profits,
fame and continued growth opportunities. Those who
fail suffer losses and become less important in the
markets. Many fail, lose money, and close the
business.
What Is an Entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is an individual who creates a
new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying
most of the rewards. The entrepreneur is commonly
seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas, goods,
services, and business/or procedures.

Definition:
An Entrepreneur is a person who has a role of an
industrialist and forms an organization for the
commercial use. He is a change agent who
transforms the demand into supply by forecasting
the needs of the society.
Characteristics of Entrepreneurship
1.Profit Chances
The chances of profit are the level of return to the person who is taking risks
and developing an idea into its business venture. The actions of the
entrepreneurs will likely remain abstract and a paper leisure activity without
the potential of the profit.
2.Creativity and Persuasiveness
There is a need to have the creative capacity for recognizing and pursuing
the opportunities in a successful entrepreneurship. The entrepreneurs should
possess great selling skills and be persistent
3.Innovation
The entrepreneurship continuously demands a continuous search for
innovative ideas. The entrepreneur should evaluate the present modes of
business operations for developing more efficient and effective systems. In a
simple definition, it is a continuous effort for optimization of performance in
an organization.
4.Risk Bearing
As we defined above, the entrepreneurship is the willingness to
take risks. The individuals should arise out of the implementation
and creation of the creative ideas. They should believe that new
ideas take some time to offer results and their results may not be
instantaneous.
5.Vision
Probably, one of the biggest responsibilities of the entrepreneur is
to decide the direction of the business. There is a need to have
proper vision. If a company doesn’t have this, they will likely get lost
in the sea.
6.Excellent Business Skills
A successful entrepreneur always has the ability to set up the
internal procedures, systems, and processes required to operate a
company. He/she should focus on sales, revenue, and cash flow all
the times. They always evaluate the current talents and professional
network
.
Types of Entrepreneurs
•
Innovative Entrepreneur:
These are the ones who invent the new ideas, new products, new production
methods or processes, discover potential markets and reorganize the
company’s structure. These are the industry leaders and contributes
significantly towards the economic development of the country. The innovative
entrepreneurs have an unusual foresight to recognize the demand for goods
and services. They are always ready to take a risk because they enjoy the
excitement of a challenge, and every challenge has some risk associated with it.
Ratan Tata is said to be an innovative entrepreneur, who launched the Tata
Nano car at a considerably low cost.
•
Imitating Entrepreneurs:
The imitating entrepreneurs are those who immediately copy the new
inventions made by the innovative entrepreneurs. These do not make any
innovations by themselves; they just imitate the technology, processes, methods
pioneered by others. These entrepreneurs are found in the places where there
is a lack of resources or industrial base due to which no new innovations could
be made. Thus, they are suitable for the underdeveloped regions where they
can imitate the combinations of inventions already well established in the
developed regions, in order to bring a boom in their industry.
•
Fabian Entrepreneurs:
These types of entrepreneurs are skeptical about the changes to be
made in the organization. They do not initiate any inventions but
follow only after they are satisfied with its success rate. They wait for
some time before the innovation becomes well tested by others and do
not result in a huge loss due to its failure
.
•
Drone Entrepreneurs:
These entrepreneurs are reluctant to change since they are very
conservative and do not want to make any changes in the organization.
They are happy with their present mode of business and do not want to
change even if they are suffering the losses.
•
Thus, this classification is done on the basis of the willingness of an
entrepreneur to create and accept the innovative ideas.
Difference Between Entrepreneur and Intrapreneur
As both entrepreneur and intrapreneur share similar
qualities like conviction, creativity, zeal and insight, the
two are used interchangeably. However, the two are
different, as an entrepreneur is a person who takes a
considerable amount of risk to own and operate the
business, with an aim of earning returns and rewards,
from that business. He is the most important person who
envisions new opportunities, products, techniques and
business lines and coordinates all the activities to make
them real.
..
Conclusion
The term entrepreneur not only refers to the creator, owner and manager of
a business, but also to the project leader of a business. To define the
entrepreneur, two problems relating to the behavior of economic agents must
be combined: methodological individualism, according to which economic
agents are calculators, and the theory of resource potential, according to which
the rationality of economic agents is embedded in a network of social
relationships. In other words, the entrepreneur is an economic agent whose
ultimate goal is to create a business from a well-defined project. To realize his
project, he mobilizes a number of resources (knowledge-based, financial and
relationship-based), from which he produces other resources (employment,
innovation, etc.), interacting with his environment. In this sense, the
entrepreneur is rational, because he maximizes his resources in order to
achieve a goal, which is to create his own job. In this sense, his behaviour is
opportunistic, because he seeks to take advantage of all the opportunities
presented to him (a social relationship, a grant, a requirement, etc.). In these ...
An entrepreneur is someone who takes risks to create a new business venture and brings innovative ideas to the market. Success in entrepreneurship brings rewards, while failure can lead to losses. Characteristics of entrepreneurship include profit chances, creativity, innovation, and risk-bearing. Entrepreneurs play a crucial role in economies by anticipating needs and driving growth.
