2. Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, launching and running a new business,
which is often initially a small business. The people who create these businesses are
called entrepreneurs.

5. Start-ups
Starting a business generally requires:
• A business concept or idea involving a product,
service, process, or new technology
• People to support the work, whether as employees,
vendors, or advisors
• A process by which the product or service will be
delivered, or the technology will be developed
• Enough money to support the development of the
idea to the point that it generates revenue

6. How to Start a Business
 Create a business plan.
 Determine your business' legal structure.
 Register your business' name.
 Review small business taxes.
 Market the business.
 Sell your products and services.
 Keep your customers happy.
 Fund the business.

7. Why New Businesses are Started
According to research by Cox Business, the main reasons entrepreneurs go out on
their own, rather than staying employed, are:
•Control – to be their own boss
•Ambition – to start something from scratch themselves
•Financial – opportunity to earn more money

8. What Kind of Business to Start
Finding a need or opportunity in the market and filling it is at the core of
entrepreneurship and small business success. That doesn’t mean that starting a
business similar to one already in existence can’t be successful, however.
In considering what kind of business to start, assess:
 Your interests
 Your background and experiences
 Your financial resources
 Unmet market needs
 Problems you can solve
 Your network and connections

9. Characteristics of Entrepreneurship

this world with opinions, there are some characteristics that are considered indispensable
or necessary in an entrepreneur. These are listed here as follows.
 Ability to take Risks
 Innovation
 Visionary
 Leadership
 Open Minded
 Confident and Well Informed

10. 4 Type of Entrepreneurship
Small Business Entrepreneurship
Scalable Startup Entrepreneurship
Large Company Entrepreneurship
Social Entrepreneurship

11. Small Business Entrepreneurship
In this day and age, small businesses still make up a
huge chunk of entrepreneurship and startups in the
world. The grocery store, the travel agent, the Salon and
the street food vendor. People would consider these as
small.
These are anyone who runs their own business, most of
which are barely profitable. They usually hire family
members or local employees to run their business with or
for them. Their measure of success are simple such
as being able to pay bills and indulge in small luxuries
like travel

12. Scalable Startup Entrepreneurship
Groundbreaking web- and software-based businesses via
social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Large
internet businesses like Amazon.com and eBay. Just some of
the successful examples of scalable entrepreneurship.
Unlike small businesses, scalable startups are what
entrepreneur hotspots like Silicon Valley, Shanghai, New
York, and Bangalore do. These risk takers and their
venture capitalist know that they have the possibility of
changing the world.

13. Large Company Entrepreneurship
Large companies have finite life cycles. Most grow through
sustaining innovation, offering new products that are variants
around their core products. Changes in customer tastes, new
technologies, legislation, new competitors, etc.
can create pressure for more disruptive innovation – requiring
large companies to create entirely new products sold into new
customers in new markets. Existing companies do this by
either acquiring innovative companies or attempting to build a
disruptive product inside. Ironically, large company size and
culture make disruptive innovation extremely difficult to
execute.

14. Social Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurs are innovators who focus on
creating products and services that solve social
needs and problems. But unlike scalable startups
their goal is to make the world a better place, not
to take market share or to create to wealth for the
founders. They may be nonprofit, for-profit, or
hybrid.
