Enterprise

   BUS1
Key words
Enterprise: process by which new businesses are formed and
new products are formed and new products and services are
created and bought to the market. Enterprises are usually lead
by entrepreneurs.

Enterprise skills: skills that allow an individual or organisation to
respond effectively to changing market situations.

Entrepreneurs: individuals who have an idea that they develop
by setting up a new business and encouraging it to grow.
Characteristics of a successful
             entrepreneur

• Determination and persistence
• Passion
• The ability to spot and take advantage of
  opportunities
• Relevant skills and expertise
• Vision, creativity and innovation
• Motivation to succeed and not be daunted by failure
• Willingness to take risks
Bill Gates
• Founder of Microsoft
• Dropped out of Harvard University less than
  halfway through his IT degree
• His drive, imagination, business acumen and
  obsession for detail turned Microsoft into one
  of the worlds most successful companies and
  him into one of the richest men in the world!
Opportunity Cost


The ‘real cost’ of taking a particular action
       or the next best alternative.

 (the next best thing that you could have
           chosen but did not)
This is a vital concept in business because there
 are always alternative decisions that could be
                      made.

Example: If the founders of Innocent Drinks had decided to
remain in their original jobs rather than pursuing the smoothie
venture, the opportunity cost would have been the chance they
had of developing a highly successful business and the large
amount of wealth they subsequently made
Why become an
