HISTORY
Middle Ages.

managed large production projects.
2. This person did not take any risks, but managed the project with
the resources provided.
3. A typical entrepreneur was the cleric who managed architectural
projects.
17th Century
By the 17th century the entrepreneur was a person who entered into a contract with the
government to perform a service.
Richard Cantillon, a noted economist of the 1700s, developed early theories of the
entrepreneur and is regarded as the founder of the term.
He viewed the entrepreneur as a risk taker who “buys at certain price and sells at an
uncertain price, therefore operating at a risk.”
18th Century.
In the 18th century the entrepreneur was distinguished from the capital provider.
19th and 20th Centuries.
• The entrepreneur “contributes his own initiative, skill and perform the functions of
planning, organizing and administering the enterprise assuming the chance of loss and
gain.”
In the middle of the 20th century, the entrepreneur was described as an innovator.
Innovation, the act of introducing something new, is one of the most difficult tasks for
the entrepreneur.

IMPORTANCE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
• 1. Development of managerial capabilities
• The biggest significance of entrepreneurship lies in the fact that it helps in identifying
and developing managerial capabilities of entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur studies a
problem, identifies its alternatives, compares the alternatives in terms of cost and
benefits implications, and finally chooses the best alternative. This exercise helps in
sharpening the decision-making skills of an entrepreneur. Besides, these managerial
capabilities are used by entrepreneurs in creating new technologies and products in
place of older technologies and products resulting in higher performance.
• 2. Creation of organizations
• Entrepreneurship results into creation of organizations when entrepreneurs assemble and
coordinate physical, human and financial resources and direct them towards achievement
of objectives through managerial skills.
• 3. Improving standards of living
• By creating productive organizations, entrepreneurship helps in making a wide variety of
goods and services available to the society, which results into higher standards of living
for the people.Possession of luxury cars, computers, mobile phones, rapid growth of
shopping malls, etc. are pointers to the rising living standards of people, and all this is due
to the efforts of entrepreneurs.
• 4. Means of economic development
• Entrepreneurship involves creation and use of innovative ideas, maximization of output
from given resources, development of managerial skills, etc., and all these factors are so
essential for the economic development of a country.
• 5. Job Creation
• We know that job creation is vital to the overall long-term economic health of
communities, regions, ad nations. Entrepreneurial ventures play very important role in it.
Small business create more jobs than large business do. During economic recession,
when large companies are on their way to retrenchment of their work force, individuals
whose jobs are eliminated find employment with small business. The creation of jobs by
small businesses is expected to continue into the future as new firms start small and
grow.
• 6. Innovation
• Innovating is a process of creating, changing, experimenting, transforming and
revolutionizing. Innovation is one of the key distinguishing characteristics of entrepreneurial
activity. The passionate drive and intense hunger of entrepreneurs to forge new directions
products and processes and to take risks set in motion a series of decisions that lead to the
innovations that are important for economic vitality. Without these new ideas, economic,
technological, and social progress would be slow indeed. The “creative destruction” process
of innovating leads to technological changes and employment growth. Entrepreneurial firms
act as these “agents of change” by providing an essential source of new and unique ideas
that might otherwise go.
• 7. It results in exploitation of economy’s resources, such as labour,
capital and technology to the fullest extent.
BENEFITS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

TYPES OF ENTREPRENEURS
• 1) Innovative entrepreneurs: An innovative entrepreneur in one, who
introduces new goods, inaugurates new method of production, discovers
new market and recognizes the enterprise.
• It is important to note that such entrepreneurs can work only when a
certain level of development is already achieved and people look forward
to change and improvement.
• 2) Imitative entrepreneurs: These types of entrepreneurs creatively
imitate the innovative technical achievement made by another firm.
Imitative entrepreneurs are suitable for underdeveloped countries as it is
hard for them to bear the high cost of innovation.
• 3) Fabian entrepreneurs: Fabian entrepreneurs are characterized by
very great caution and skepticism to experiment any change in their
enterprises. They usually do not take any new challenge. They imitate
only when it becomes perfectly clear that failure to do not so would result
in a loss of the relative position in the enterprise.
• 4) Drone entrepreneurs: They are characterized by a refusal to adopt
any change even at cost of severely reduction of profit.
FACTORS LEADING TO INCREASE IN
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
• 1. Encouraging schemes by the government authorities
• Government of India is also encouraging the interest in entrepreneurship. It has
launched a ‘start-up India’ campaign that provides support to entrepreneurial initiatives.
Schemes have been floated to promote world-class innovation hubs and self-
employment opportunities for the youngsters. The focus is especially high in technology
driven areas. The government of India realises the potential that entrepreneurship holds
in giving boost to the economy and uplifting the financial status of the people of the
country. Such faith in entrepreneurship from the highest body in India leads to
development of interest in this field among the youth of the country.
• 2. The Rise of Technology
• Technology has led to India becoming a software power. It has the second highest
number of internet users in the world. In addition to this, the uncertainty regarding jobs is
fuelling people’s interest in having their own business. Industries are in constant need
for innovation to move forward and start-ups are coming up in fields like artificial
intelligence and machine learning to help businesses solve their inherent issues or to
bring in more efficiency.
• 3. The Female Entrepreneurs
• The entrepreneurial wave is also being driven by women entrepreneurs who are carving
a niche for themselves. Start-ups like Zivame, Kaaryah, YourStory and POPxo have
become successful ventures. Led by women founders, they are answering the market
needs in their respective segments.
CHALLENGES FOR INDIAN ENTREPRENEURS
• Raising Funds for the Business
• The challenge for any start-up lies in raising funds for the business. To do so, they need
to have a dependable business plan and a strategy on how they want to enter the
market. Start-ups get funds from venture capitalists once they have convinced them
about the venture’s potential for success.
• 2. Knowledge on How to Run a Business
• As simple as it may seem, any venture needs to have a good plan to begin with. Various
business schools have started entrepreneurship courses to answer the requirements of
interested students who seek to become an entrepreneur. These courses help the
students get their expectations right and prepare themselves for a career in
entrepreneurship.
• Keeping Up with Technology
• This point is important for start-ups in the technology sector. It is important for them to
keep track of the latest technology and stay ahead of the curve. These days,
technological innovations are happening every day leading to technology getting
obsolete quickly. They need to keep on improving their products and give new and
innovative products to their customers. The innovations need to be useful for the
customers. They need to have good research backing their product launches. If the
product does not answer any need gap in the market, then it will not be successful in the
market even if there is cutting edge technology behind it.
• Quality of Human Resources
• Any business’ success is dependent on the people who work for it. It is critical to have
the right mix of people. These people should be trained for their job profiles. For
example, a marketing manager should understand the industry and its customers and
accordingly plan marketing campaigns. They should also have practical experience for
performing their jobs properly. Additionally, they should have the right attitude and keen
interest in doing their work to the best of their abilities.
