7. What is Entrepreneurship?
The earliest definition of Entrepreneurship, dating from the eighteenth
century, used it as an economic term describing
‘the process of bearing the risk of buying at certain prices and selling at
uncertain prices’
Early this century, the concept of innovation was added to the definition of
entrepreneur-ship. This innovation could be process innovation, market
innovation, product innovation, factor innovation, and even organisational
innovation. Later definitions described entrepreneurship as
‘involving the creation of new enterprises and that the entrepreneur is the
founder’

8. What is Entrepreneurship?
Although risk bearing is an important element of entrepreneurial behaviour,
many entrepreneurs have succeeded by avoiding risk where possible and
seeking others to bear the risk
As one extremely successful entre-preneur has said:
'My idea of risk and reward is for me to get the reward and others to take
the risks'
