Part 2: Class Instruction
The World of the Entrepreneur LO 1
Around the world growing numbers of people are realizing their dreams of owning and
operating their own business. Entrepreneurship is thriving and is essential to a strong
global economy. Downsizing by large companies has resulted in a new population of
entrepreneurs. Today small companies have the competitive advantage as they can move
faster to exploit market opportunities and use modern technology to quickly create
products and service that once took years.
A study by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) found that 68 percent of
working adults around the world perceive entrepreneurs as having high status. Eastern
European countries, China, Vietnam, and other nations whose economies were state–
, controlled and centrally planned now hold potential for entrepreneurs. (Refer to Figure
1.1 and Table 1.1)
What Is an Entrepreneur? LO 2
An entrepreneur is one who creates a new business in the face of risk and uncertainty for
the purpose of achieving profit and growth by identifying significant opportunities and
assembling the necessary resources to capitalize on them. Although many people come
up with great business ideas, most never act on their ideas.
One reason the U.S. economy has been so successful over time is the constant churn that
results from the rapid pace at which entrepreneurs create new businesses, destroy old
ones, and upend entire industries with their creativity and ingenuity. (Refer to Figure 1.2)
Studies have identified several characteristics entrepreneurs tend to exhibit, but none of
them has isolated a set of traits required for success. A brief summary of the
entrepreneurial profile includes:
1. Desire for responsibility
2. Preference for moderate risk (risk eliminators)
3. Willingness to break rules
4. Self-reliance
5. Confidence in their ability to succeed
6. Determination
7. Desire for immediate feedback
8. High level of energy
9. Competitiveness
10. Future orientation. Opportunity entrepreneurs start businesses because they spot
an opportunity in the marketplace. Necessity entrepreneurs start businesses
because they cannot find work any other way. Serial entrepreneurs repeatedly
start businesses and grow them to a sustainable size before striking out again.
11. Skill at organizing
12. Value of achievement over money
Other characteristics of entrepreneurs include:
High degree of commitment
