ENTREPRENEUR
Entrepreneur The term 'entrepreneur' is derived from
the French word ' entrprendre ' which
means 'go between' or 'to undertake'
An entrepreneur is an individual who
creates a new business, bearing most
of the risks and enjoying most of the
rewards.
Peter F Drucker defines an
entrepreneur as one who always
searches for change, responds to it and
exploits it as an opportunity.
ADOLF DASSLER :
Early Life
• Adolf "Adi" Dassler was a German cobbler, inventor
and entrepreneur who founded the German sportswear
company Adidas.
• Adolf Dassler was born on 3 November 1900, in
Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany,
• Adolf Dassler was the youngest of four siblings. His
father Christoph was a tailor and his mother Pauline
ran the family laundry business.
• His mother set up a laundry in the back of the house
where his sister Marie also worked, and the three boys
were used to deliver clean wash throughout the town,
becoming known as the "laundry boys."
• In 1913, Adolf completed high school and following the
wishes of his father entered an apprenticeship to
become a baker, but decided against baking as a long-
term career.
Adi spent much of his free time in athletic endeavors. Along
with his childhood friend, Fritz Zehlein .He engaged in a variety
of sporting events in track and field as well
as football, boxing, ice hockey, skiing and ski jumping.
He began to learn stitching from his father. He also began
thinking about how changes in shoe design could improve
athletic performance.
Adi was conscripted in June 1918 in the last days of the war.
He remained in the army for over a year until October 1919.
When Adi returned, he found that the economic devastation of
the war caused their mother to give up the laundry business.
Adi decided to pursue his concepts of innovative athletic
footwear design and use the laundry shed to begin a small
shoe production business.

percent of his/her time to something he/she loves in alignment with Google's core
mission), he created a social network called 'Eden'.
However he couldn't get the domain eden.com. Then had a meeting with Marissa Mayer
and Eric Schmidt and they suggested that he should launch it as orkut.com Because he
was the one who created it, it was a five-letter word, and domain was available.
Soon after the launch, when the website got hundreds of thousands of users, Google
decided to assign more resources to orkut.com

• The India story for Orkut was only getting stronger, when in
2007, Google recognized its potential, and rolled out the site in
six Indian languages—Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Kannada
and Telugu.
• Orkut was launched worldwide and gained the most popularity
in Estonia, Brazil and India.
• At one point, Orkut.com became so popular that it had over 300
million users across the globe and had as many pages as
Google search.

would be shutting down completely on September 30,

• Google engineering director Paulo Golgher said in a
blog post: "Over the past decade, Facebook,
YouTube, Blogger and Google+ have taken off, with
communities springing up in every corner of the
world. Because the growth of these communities has
outpaced Orkut's growth, we've decided to bid Orkut
farewell."
