Concept of Entrepreneur
Who is an 'Entrepreneur‘?
An entrepreneur is an individual who, rather than working as an employee, runs his/her own business and assumes all the risks and rewards of a given business venture.
Entrepreneurship is the propensity of the mind to take calculated risks with confidence to achieve a pre determined business or industrial objective.
It is the risk taking ability of an individual coupled with correct decision making.

Joseph A Schumpeter view’s
The Entrepreneur is an individual who introduces something new in the economy-
A method of production not yet tested by experience in the branch of manufacturing.
A product which the consumers are not yet familiar (Ex: Tesla solar roof tiles)
A new source of raw material (Ex: New processor for mobiles)
New market (Ex: Tata Nano in European market)
11
Peter Drucker’s views
Entrepreneurs are innovators.
Entrepreneur is one who always searches for changes, responds to it as an opportunity. Ex: Mark Zuckerberg
Innovation is a specific tool of an entrepreneur hence an effective entrepreneur converts a source into a resource
12
Scope of Entrepreneurship
Perception of market opportunities (original or imitative).

ENVSTY 101 memo #1 calls on you to describe two examples of the na.docxkhanpaulita
ENVSTY 101 memo #1 calls on you to describe two examples of the natural capital (natural resources and ecosystem services) thatyou encounter as you travel between two locations on a regular basis. An example might be the natural capital that you observe on a regular walk to the grocery store, a drive to a relative’s house, or a Train/bike ride to University. The memo should be between 600-750 words, so it requires that you provide some detailed description of the two types of natural capital you observe, as well as your analysis of the ecosystem services they provide. You must cite at least one source (for instance, the City of Boston, Mass Dept of Transportation, MBTA, Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, etc.) for each example and include a References or Works Cited page of properly cited sources as an appendix (this page will not count toward the word limit).
To help you along, I’m providing an outline of a memo below that gives you a template to follow:
To: ENVSTY 101 class
From: student name
Date: due date (or submission date if earlier)
Subject: [state the assignment question/issue/topic, e.g., Natural capital between ______________ and ______________.
I. Restate the question/issue/topic
This memo provides a description of two types of natural resources and the respective ecosystem services they support that I observe on a regular basis as I travel between ______________ and _______.
II. Describe the trip you take, including information about your method of transportation, how long the trip takes, the general environment you’re passing through, and how your mode of transportation affects the observations you’re able to make (for example, a bike ride provides different opportunities for observations than a walk or a subway trip).
III. In two paragraphs, describe your two examples of natural capital. For each example/paragraph, describe:
· what natural resource(s) you observe [e.g. trees, open fields]
· what ecosystem services are provided and how they serve society
· what condition the natural capital is in [e.g., healthy, degraded] and why
· whether it is likely or not to endure as a sustainable.
Cite relevant sources as evidence supporting your analysis.
IV. Conclusion
As outlined above, on my regular trip between __________ and ____, I observe two significant examples of natural capital. [Now make a few comparative/contrasting reflections that tell us what you can conclude from these different observations.]

MarketingWhat is Marketing?Some say it’s is about needs…Marketing deals with identifying and meeting human and social needs “Meeting needs profitably” (Kotler and Keller, 2006)
And some say its about value…“Marketing is about communicating values to potential and existing customers” (Lodish et al., 2001)“Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stake holders” (AMA)
*
…, but there is a clear distinction to selling…Selling simply refers to pushing an transaction
In its most ambitious sense, marketing should render selling unnecessary. “… The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself. Ideally, marketing should result in a customer who is ready to buy” (Peter Drucker, 1973)
Example:
Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX

… and there is also a clear distinction to advertising…Advertising is only one of many means by which you can communicate with existing and potential customers

What is marketing?Marketing deals with the two fundamental question of:
“What am I selling?”“To whom am I selling it?”
The marketing literature seek to answer these questions through five fundamental concepts

Environmentalism and Moral Concern for AnimalsMany believe t.docxkhanpaulita
Environmentalism and Moral Concern for Animals
Many believe that we are in serious trouble today as human beings plunging headlong into a major climate crisis on planet earth.
Our course eText on Environmental Ethics states the following:
There is no denying that the global climate is changing, as the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased during the past century. … Coastlines are crumbling as the climate changes and sea levels rise… storms are increasing in severity … the Arctic ice cap is melting… (MacKinnon, 427).
But what’s causing these troubling changes? We are. MacKinnon again:
Some skeptics dispute whether the changes are entirely man-made, but the vast majority of experts believe one of the major causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels … (MacKinnon, 428).
And the human disregard for nature also means disregard for all species of animals that depend on livable natural habitats. Entire species today are threatened with immanent extinction. Writing in 2016, MacKinnon says “687 animal species are listed as either endangered or threatened.” That number has risen drastically since 2016, leading some scientists to conclude that we are in the midst of a global mass extinction of animal species.
The following video link and quoted material provide: 1) a summary of a U.N. Climate Change Report from 2019 (the video), and 2) an explanation of the meaning of speciesism as Dr. Richard Ryder first used it (the quotation ). After reviewing these, please respond to the discussion questions listed below.
U.N. Climate Change Report:
LINK (Links to an external site.)
On Dr. Richard Ryder's use of the term speciesism (which term the moral philosopher Peter Singer later made more popular):
“The view that only humans are morally considered is sometimes referred to as ‘speciesism’. In the 1970s, Richard Ryder coined this term while campaigning in Oxford to denote a ubiquitous type of human centered prejudice, which he thought was similar to racism. He objected to favoring one’s own species, while exploiting or harming members of other species” (Gruen, Lori, "The Moral Status of Animals",
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,
Fall 2017 Edition, Edward N. Zalta, ed., URL =
LINK (Links to an external site.)
).
Discussion Questions (please address both 1 and 2).
[1] How does the hearing of this U.N. report on the climate crisis affect you, your values, your sense of the world and its future? What human beliefs or values today will more likely prevent needed changes in our way of life, methods of production, or government policies? And what beliefs or values will more likely lead to the kind of changes needed to address the climate crisis?
[2] Do you think humans are biased against animals, as moral philosophers like Peter Singer express with the term speciesism, and do you think this speciesism is comparable to other human biases such as racism, as Richard Ryder claimed in the 1970s? Why or why .

ENVIRONMENTALISM ITS ARTICLES OF FAITHNorthwest Environmental J.docxkhanpaulita
ENVIRONMENTALISM: ITS ARTICLES OF FAITH
Northwest Environmental Journal Vol. 5:1, (1989) p. 100
Victor Scheffer
Here I offer an interpretation of environmentalism, a body of principles and practices so recently manifest in national thought that its meanings are still disputed. It is called, for example, "a theology of the earth," "a religion of self restraint," and "a science rooted in resource management and ecology." I define it broadly as "a movement toward understanding humankind's natural bases of support while continuously applying what is learned toward perpetuating those bases."
The word environmentalism entered the American vernacular during the 1960s. An editorial in Science (Klopsteg 1966) noted that "one of the newest fads in Washington-and elsewhere-is 'environmental science.' The term has political potency even if its meaning is vague and questionable." Environmentalism was at first perceived by the public as merely a response to a crisis, but it quickly proved more than that. As Lord Ashby (1978:3) explained to a Stanford University group:
A crisis is a situation that will pass; it can be resolved by temporary hardship, temporary adjustment, technological and political expedients. What we are experiencing is not a crisis, it is a climacteric. For the rest of man's history on earth. . . he will have to live with problems of population, of resources, of pollution.
The vision of environmentalism is to preserve those things in nature which will allow the human enterprise, or civilization, to endure and improve. (I use the word nature for the world without humans, a concept which-like the square root of minus one-is unreal, but useful.) Because civilization depends absolutely on surroundings that are healthful and stimulating, environmentalism aims to protect both material and spiritual values. At the risk of oversimplifying, 1 review five articles of faith which support and energize the environmental movement. They reflect ideas developed by "earthkeepers" from the time of George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882) down to the present.
1) All things are connected. The cosmos is a set of dependencies so complex that its boundaries lie forever beyond understanding. Simply lifting a spadeful of garden soil disturbs a trillion protistan lives, impinges on the lifter's muscles and mind, and changes the landscape. The poet who mused, "Thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star," was struck by the unitary connectedness of all matter (Thompson 1966 [1897]:19). He was an environmentalist before his time. Now we technological beings have Spun a web of change around the whole earth and nearby space. Our artifacts range in scale from radiations and molecules to mountains and lakes. Yet never will we understand completely the spinoff effects of the environmental changes that we create, nor will we measure Our own,' independent influence in their creation. Consider the mysterious decline in the numbers of fur seals breeding on A.

Challenges
There are four causes of unsustainable economic growth:
1. Natural capital stock (environment and resources)
2. Population growth
3. Poverty and inequality
4. Institutions
Sustainable Development
Definition
What does sustainable development mean in economic terms?
I Continuous economic progress
I Natural capital stock should not decrease over time
Economic growth and environmental quality
The trade-off
Pessimistic view:
I There is a trade-off between economic growth and
environmental quality
I The current generation must stop growing to ensure the well
being of future generations
Evidence
I There are serious environmental dangers associated with
economic growth
I Depletion of exhaustible energy resources
I Such as coal and oil
I Deterioration of the environment
I Through such as CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases
I Many examples illustrate the negative effect of economic
growth on environmental quality
I Pollution in Mexico city, Tehran, London during
industrialization
Environmental quality could improve with wealth
Some people, however, argue that environmental degradation is
only temporary
Environmental Kuznets Curve
Environmental quality improves with wealth
Recent research finds EKC for certain pollutants:
I Local pollutants (SO2): evidence
I As we become richer, we take care of our local environment
I Global pollutants (CO2): no evidence
I Taking care of our local environment, does not guarantee
better global environment
Technological progress
Optimistic view
The largest criticisms of the Club of Rome is that technological
progress was not taken into account
I New growth theories can reconcile economic growth with
environmental constraints
I New growth theory is based on innovations and directed
technical change

1. What drives sustained growth in income per capita?
2. Is sustained economic growth possible without environmental
degradation?
Sulfur dioxide
1. Is there an Environmental Kuznets Curve for sulfur dioxide in
the US? Why? Why not?

Environmental PoliciesThe National Park Service manages all the .docxkhanpaulita
Environmental Policies
The National Park Service manages all the national parks in the U.S. The agency also is tasked with the management of the monument. According to the environmental policy, the main purpose of this body is to offer recreational activities for citizens and at the same time preserving the ecosystems (Dale, 2015). The BLM and the Forest Service, on the other hand, plays the role of extraction of resources like timbers. The U.S Forest service agency operates within the U.S Department of Agriculture administering the national grasslands and forests. The Bureau of Land Management operates under the United States Department of the Interior tasked with the distribution of public land. Unlike the forest service which has land all over the country, BLM land is only located in the western half of the country.
Wild Horse and Burro Act are one of the agencies formed under federal land management to preserve the native plants. The act formed in 1971 had direct effects on the Bureau of land management since it limited the techniques of BLM eliminating wild horses or rather animals that could sustain oneself on the BLM lands but instead require their protection (Loomis, 2002). Initially, the BLM was of the idea that those animals be killed, but it had to change their direction and adopted a Horse program. The program used a more humane approach and responded to the growing population of the non-native species and the adverse effects they had on the native plants as well as the wildlife populations on BLM lands. The sole function of this agency was to protect the endangered species and ensure their continuity. The endangered species Act's roles revolve around conserving the threatened and endangered plants and the habitat they are found. The act has influenced the operations of the Wild Horse and Burro Act through funding it as well as foreseeing its operations so that it remains true to its mission of ensuring the continuation of the existence of species.

Environmental Factors
In this assignment, you will have a chance to discuss a topic that brings personality theory together with social psychology. Dealing with unhealthy groups like gangs or cults is an important issue in social psychology. However, you cannot fully address this issue if you do not first understand personality development and how one’s personality affects the choices that are made. Specifically, you will look at Skinner’s behavioral perspective on personality development and discuss how that theory can play a role in this issue of unhealthy groups.
Bob is an adolescent who grew up in a gang-infested part of a large city. His parents provided little supervision while he was growing up and left Bob mostly on his own. He developed friendships with several kids in his neighborhood who were involved in gangs, and eventually joined a gang himself. Now crime and gang activities are a way of life for Bob. These have become his way to identify with his peer group and to support himself.
It is relatively easy to see that Bob’s environment has played a large role in his current lifestyle. This coincides with Skinner’s concept of environment being the sole determinant of how personality develops. Skinner believed that if you change someone’s environment and the reinforcements in that environment, you can change their behavior.
Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research Skinner’s concept of the environment and answer the following questions:
If you were to create an environment for Bob to change his behavior from that of a gang member to a respectable and law-abiding citizen, what types of environmental changes and positive reinforcements would you suggest and why?
What are some interventions that are used in the field currently? Are there any evidence-based programs that use these environmental and reinforcement interventions?
Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

11
5. Peter Drucker’s views
Entrepreneurs are innovators.
Entrepreneur is one who always searches for changes, responds
to it as an opportunity. Ex: Mark Zuckerberg
Innovation is a specific tool of an entrepreneur hence an
effective entrepreneur converts a source into a resource

Advantages of developing and encouraging Entrepreneurship
Employment Generation: The entrepreneurial ventures are
generally started in small-scale, utilizing the labor intensive
techniques. Therefore, these venture generate a lot of
employment for the regional manpower.
Distribution of Economic power: Small-scale Business are the
seed-bed for entrepreneurship therefore they help in equitable
distribution of economic power instead of it getting
9. concentrated in the hands of certain big industrialists.
Optimum utilization of regional resources: The small-scale
entrepreneurs generally rely on the regional resources for their
production needs.
21
Advantages of developing and encouraging Entrepreneurship
(cont..)
Meeting the demand gap by seizing appropriate opportunity:
Entrepreneurs have the knack of seizing the opportunities
existing in the environment as pointed out earlier. Therefore
they always study the demand gap keenly and utilize their
entrepreneurial ventures too meet such demand gaps.
Export potential: Whenever entrepreneurial ventures are the
results of innovations, they create an opportunity for export. As
we are aware a number of entrepreneurial ventures are the
results of innovation. Hence, they always add to the export
potential.
Regional Development: Regional development is one of the key
advantage of entrepreneurial ventures.
22
10. The individual. Individuals who initiate, establish, maintain and
expand new enterprises generate entrepreneurship in a society.
Environment. This factor is constituted by the socio-political
and economic policies of the government and financial
institutions and the opportunities available in a society as a
result of such policies.
Socio-cultural factors. Entrepreneurs grow in the traditions of
families and societies and internalize certain values and norms
from these sources. The contribution from these socio-cultural
factors, in the process of transmission, gets filtered through the
individual whom it seeks to influence.
Support system. Support systems that work for the development
of entrepreneurs include financial and commercial institutions,
research, training, extension and consultancy services, as also
large industrial units interested in developing ancillary
industries.

Types of Ventures
28
Sole Proprietorship
One of the most popular business types, namely because it's one
of the simplest and only requires an individual.
In a nutshell, a sole proprietorship is a business that's owned by
just one person.
There isn't a legal or financial distinction between the business
and the business owner, which means that you as the business
owner are fully accountable for all of the profits, liabilities and
12. legal issues that your business may encounter.
Instead, just by owning a business on your own, a sole
proprietorship is automatically associated with your new
business.
Keep in mind, however, that depending on your product or
service (and your location), you may need to access a specific
license or other documents.
29
Advantages of Sole Proprietorship:
Many sole proprietorships are one-owner businesses.
An individual owns and operates the business and is responsible
for all business transactions.
He may or may not have any employees.
He can close it, sell it or pass it down to his heirs at any time.
A sole proprietor pays taxes as a part of his individual income
tax filing.
Some businesses may require licensing.
However, the costs of obtaining a license for sole proprietors
are substantially less than those for corporations.
Start-up costs for sole proprietorship are very low.
30
Disadvantages of Sole Proprietorship:
The main disadvantage of sole proprietorships is the owner's
personal liability for all debts incurred by the business.
Creditors may come after an owner's personal assets if a small
business is unable to cover debts.
13. Sole proprietors may have difficulty obtaining business loans.
Financial institutions are reluctant to lend to them as many
small business loans go into default when companies struggle to
stay afloat.
While a sole proprietorship does not pay taxes, the owner may
have to pay higher taxes as his profits increase.
31
Two heads are better than one, right?
A partnership might be appropriate if your business is owned by
two or more people.
Keep in mind that with this type of business, business
responsibilities, including financial and legal, fall upon each
business owner.
Depending on how the ownership is divided (either equally or
not), there are different types of partnerships for you to explore
from a legal standpoint.
A partnership does require that you register your business with
your state and establish an official business name.
After that, you'll then be required to obtain a business license,
along with any other documentation that your state office can
help you with.
Partnership
32
Advantages of Partnership:
Capital – Due to the nature of the business, the partners will
14. fund the business with start up capital. This means that the more
partners there are, the more money they can put into the
business, which will allow better flexibility and more potential
for growth. It also means more potential profit, which will be
equally shared between the partners.
Flexibility – A partnership is generally easier to form, manage
and run. They are less strictly regulated than companies, in
terms of the laws governing the formation and because the
partners have the only say in the way the business is run
(without interference by shareholders) they are far more flexible
in terms of management, as long as all the partners can agree.
Shared Responsibility – Partners can share the responsibility of
the running of the business. This will allow them to make the
most of their abilities. Rather than splitting the management and
taking an equal share of each business task, they might well
split the work according to their skills. So if one partner is good
with figures, they might deal with the book keeping and
accounts, while the other partner might have a flare for sales
and therefore be the main sales person for the business.
Decision Making – Partners share the decision making and can
help each other out when they need to. More partners means
more brains that can be picked for business ideas and for the
solving of problems that the business encounters.
33
Disadvantages of Partnership:
Disagreements – One of the most obvious disadvantages of
partnership is the danger of disagreements between the partners.
Obviously people are likely to have different ideas on how the
business should be run, who should be doing what and what the
best interests of the business are.
Liability – Ordinary Partnerships are subject to unlimited
15. liability, which means that each of the partners shares the
liability and financial risks of the business. Which can be off
putting for some people. This can be countered by the formation
of a limited liability partnership, which benefits from the
advantages of limited liability granted to limited companies,
while still taking advantage of the flexibility of the partnership
model.
Taxation – One of the major disadvantages of partnership,
taxation laws mean that partners must pay tax in the same way
as sole traders, each submitting a Self Assessment tax return
each year.
Profit Sharing – Partners share the profits equally. This can lead
to inconsistency where one or more partners aren’t putting a fair
share of effort into the running or management of the business,
but still reaping the rewards.
34
Limited Partnership
A limited partnership, or LP, is an offshoot version of a general
partnership, and while it may not be as common, it's a great bet
for businesses who are looking to raise capital from investors
who aren't interested in working the day to day aspects of your
operations.
With an LP, there are two sets of partners, one of which is
known as a general partner.
The general partner is usually involved in the everyday business
decisions, and has personal liability.
On the other hand, there's also a limited partner (typically an
investor), who are not liable for debts and don't partake in
regular business management of said company.
Just like a general partnership, if you enter an LP agreement,
you'll need to register your business with the state, establish a
16. business name.
35
Corporation
A corporation, is a fully independent business (when public)
that's made up of multiple shareholders who are provided with
stock in a new business.
The only problem with this is that your profits will be taxed
twice, both at the corporate level and at the personal level.
Don't let this fact deter you however - this is extremely
common, and if you currently work for a company with multiple
employees, that's likely the business structure they're using.
Most likely, if you're starting off as a smaller business,
particularly one that only operates online, declaring yourself as
a corporation wouldn't be appropriate.
But if you truly are a corporation, you'll need to file very
specific documents with the state, followed by obtaining the
appropriate business licenses and permits.
36
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
An LLC is a newer type of business that is a blend between a
sole proprietorship and a corporation.
Instead of shareholders, with LLCs, owners are referred to as
members.
17. No matter how many members a particular LLC has, there must
be a managing member who takes care of the daily business
operations.
The main difference between an LLC and a corporation is that
LLC’s aren't taxed as its own business entity.
Instead, all profits and losses are moved from the business to
the LLC members, who then, instead of having to report
business finances on a corporate return, can report profits and
losses on a personal federal tax return.
The nice thing about pursuing an LLC is that members aren't
personally liable for business decisions or actions of the
company in question, and there's far less paperwork involved in
creating an LLC as compared to a corporation.
37
Nonprofit Organization
It’s a business organization that's intended to promote
educational or charitable purposes.
The "non-profit" aspect comes into play in that any money
earned by the company must be kept by the organization to pay
for its expense, programs, etc.
Keep in mind that there are several types of nonprofits
available, many of which can receive "tax exempt" status.
This process requires filing paperwork, including an
application, with the government for them to recognize you as a
nonprofit organization.
Depending on the parameters of your new business, they'll be
able to tell you which category you best fall under.
18. 38
Cooperative
A business that's fully owned and operated for the benefit of the
members of the organization that use its services.
In other words, whatever is earned by the cooperative is then
shelled out among the members themselves, and aren't required
to be paid out to any external stakeholders, etc.
Unlike other types of businesses, which have shareholders,
cooperatives sell shares to cooperative "members," who then
have a say in the operations and direction of the cooperative
itself.
The main difference in the process of becoming a cooperative,
as opposed to the other types of businesses listed, is that your
organization must create bylaws, have a membership application
and have a board of directors with a charter member meeting.

19. Franchisee
FRANCHISOR OR FRANCHISEE?
A franchise is merely a legal document that defines a
commercial relationship between the owner of a trademark or
trade name and an individual or group that wants to use that
identification in business.
If you own a trademark you can choose to distribute your
product all by yourself, or you can create a contract with others
who wish to distribute the product you created.
In the simplest form, a franchisor owns the right to the name or
trademark, and sells that right to a franchisee.
This is known as a product/trade name franchising.
The franchise often provides a full range of services including
site selection, training, product supply, marketing plans, and
even assistance in obtaining financing.

Who is a Serial Entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur who continuously comes up with new ideas and
starts new businesses.
As opposed to a typical entrepreneur, who will often come up
with an idea, start the company, and then see it through and
play an important role in the day to day functioning of the new
company.
A serial entrepreneur will often come up with the idea and get
27. things started, but then give responsibility to someone else and
move on to a new idea and a new venture.
This can be a good thing if the individual has lots of unique
ideas and is the best one suited to get each one started, but can
be a bad thing if the individual stops putting time into a
company that needs his or her help, in order to try to move
forward with a new idea that may or may not succeed.

An entrepreneur is an individual who, rather than working as an
employee, runs his/her own business and assumes all the risks
and rewards of a given business venture.
Entrepreneurship is the propensity of the mind to take
calculated risks with confidence to achieve a pre determined

Advantages of developing and encouraging Entrepreneurship
Employment Generation: The entrepreneurial ventures are
generally started in small-scale, utilizing the labor intensive
techniques. Therefore, these venture generate a lot of
employment for the regional manpower.
Distribution of Economic power: Small-scale Business are the
seed-bed for entrepreneurship therefore they help in equitable
distribution of economic power instead of it getting
concentrated in the hands of certain big industrialists.
Optimum utilization of regional resources: The small-scale
entrepreneurs generally rely on the regional resources for their
production needs.
21
44. Advantages of developing and encouraging Entrepreneurship
(cont..)
Meeting the demand gap by seizing appropriate opportunity:
Entrepreneurs have the knack of seizing the opportunities
existing in the environment as pointed out earlier. Therefore
they always study the demand gap keenly and utilize their
entrepreneurial ventures too meet such demand gaps.
Export potential: Whenever entrepreneurial ventures are the
results of innovations, they create an opportunity for export. As
we are aware a number of entrepreneurial ventures are the
results of innovation. Hence, they always add to the export
potential.
Regional Development: Regional development is one of the key
advantage of entrepreneurial ventures.
22
The individual. Individuals who initiate, establish, maintain and
expand new enterprises generate entrepreneurship in a society.
Environment. This factor is constituted by the socio-political
and economic policies of the government and financial
institutions and the opportunities available in a society as a
result of such policies.
Socio-cultural factors. Entrepreneurs grow in the traditions of
families and societies and internalize certain values and norms
45. from these sources. The contribution from these socio-cultural
factors, in the process of transmission, gets filtered through the
individual whom it seeks to influence.
Support system. Support systems that work for the development
of entrepreneurs include financial and commercial institutions,
research, training, extension and consultancy services, as also
large industrial units interested in developing ancillary
industries.

Types of Ventures
28
Sole Proprietorship
One of the most popular business types, namely because it's one
of the simplest and only requires an individual.
In a nutshell, a sole proprietorship is a business that's owned by
just one person.
There isn't a legal or financial distinction between the business
and the business owner, which means that you as the business
owner are fully accountable for all of the profits, liabilities and
legal issues that your business may encounter.
Instead, just by owning a business on your own, a sole
proprietorship is automatically associated with your new
business.
Keep in mind, however, that depending on your product or
service (and your location), you may need to access a specific
license or other documents.
47. 29
Advantages of Sole Proprietorship:
Many sole proprietorships are one-owner businesses.
An individual owns and operates the business and is responsible
for all business transactions.
He may or may not have any employees.
He can close it, sell it or pass it down to his heirs at any time.
A sole proprietor pays taxes as a part of his individual income
tax filing.
Some businesses may require licensing.
However, the costs of obtaining a license for sole proprietors
are substantially less than those for corporations.
Start-up costs for sole proprietorship are very low.
30
Disadvantages of Sole Proprietorship:
The main disadvantage of sole proprietorships is the owner's
personal liability for all debts incurred by the business.
Creditors may come after an owner's personal assets if a small
business is unable to cover debts.
Sole proprietors may have difficulty obtaining business loans.
Financial institutions are reluctant to lend to them as many
small business loans go into default when companies struggle to
stay afloat.
While a sole proprietorship does not pay taxes, the owner may
have to pay higher taxes as his profits increase.
48. 31
Two heads are better than one, right?
A partnership might be appropriate if your business is owned by
two or more people.
Keep in mind that with this type of business, business
responsibilities, including financial and legal, fall upon each
business owner.
Depending on how the ownership is divided (either equally or
not), there are different types of partnerships for you to explore
from a legal standpoint.
A partnership does require that you register your business with
your state and establish an official business name.
After that, you'll then be required to obtain a business license,
along with any other documentation that your state office can
help you with.
Partnership
32
Advantages of Partnership:
Capital – Due to the nature of the business, the partners will
fund the business with start up capital. This means that the more
partners there are, the more money they can put into the
business, which will allow better flexibility and more potential
for growth. It also means more potential profit, which will be
equally shared between the partners.
Flexibility – A partnership is generally easier to form, manage
and run. They are less strictly regulated than companies, in
terms of the laws governing the formation and because the
49. partners have the only say in the way the business is run
(without interference by shareholders) they are far more flexible
in terms of management, as long as all the partners can agree.
Shared Responsibility – Partners can share the responsibility of
the running of the business. This will allow them to make the
most of their abilities. Rather than splitting the management and
taking an equal share of each business task, they might well
split the work according to their skills. So if one partner is good
with figures, they might deal with the book keeping and
accounts, while the other partner might have a flare for sales
and therefore be the main sales person for the business.
Decision Making – Partners share the decision making and can
help each other out when they need to. More partners means
more brains that can be picked for business ideas and for the
solving of problems that the business encounters.
33
Disadvantages of Partnership:
Disagreements – One of the most obvious disadvantages of
partnership is the danger of disagreements between the partners.
Obviously people are likely to have different ideas on how the
business should be run, who should be doing what and what the
best interests of the business are.
Liability – Ordinary Partnerships are subject to unlimited
liability, which means that each of the partners shares the
liability and financial risks of the business. Which can be off
putting for some people. This can be countered by the formation
of a limited liability partnership, which benefits from the
advantages of limited liability granted to limited companies,
while still taking advantage of the flexibility of the partnership
model.
Taxation – One of the major disadvantages of partnership,
50. taxation laws mean that partners must pay tax in the same way
as sole traders, each submitting a Self Assessment tax return
each year.
Profit Sharing – Partners share the profits equally. This can lead
to inconsistency where one or more partners aren’t putting a fair
share of effort into the running or management of the business,
but still reaping the rewards.
34
Limited Partnership
A limited partnership, or LP, is an offshoot version of a general
partnership, and while it may not be as common, it's a great bet
for businesses who are looking to raise capital from investors
who aren't interested in working the day to day aspects of your
operations.
With an LP, there are two sets of partners, one of which is
known as a general partner.
The general partner is usually involved in the everyday business
decisions, and has personal liability.
On the other hand, there's also a limited partner (typically an
investor), who are not liable for debts and don't partake in
regular business management of said company.
Just like a general partnership, if you enter an LP agreement,
you'll need to register your business with the state, establish a
business name.
35
Corporation
51. A corporation, is a fully independent business (when public)
that's made up of multiple shareholders who are provided with
stock in a new business.
The only problem with this is that your profits will be taxed
twice, both at the corporate level and at the personal level.
Don't let this fact deter you however - this is extremely
common, and if you currently work for a company with multiple
employees, that's likely the business structure they're using.
Most likely, if you're starting off as a smaller business,
particularly one that only operates online, declaring yourself as
a corporation wouldn't be appropriate.
But if you truly are a corporation, you'll need to file very
specific documents with the state, followed by obtaining the
appropriate business licenses and permits.
36
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
An LLC is a newer type of business that is a blend between a
sole proprietorship and a corporation.
Instead of shareholders, with LLCs, owners are referred to as
members.
No matter how many members a particular LLC has, there must
be a managing member who takes care of the daily business
operations.
The main difference between an LLC and a corporation is that
LLC’s aren't taxed as its own business entity.
Instead, all profits and losses are moved from the business to
the LLC members, who then, instead of having to report
business finances on a corporate return, can report profits and
52. losses on a personal federal tax return.
The nice thing about pursuing an LLC is that members aren't
personally liable for business decisions or actions of the
company in question, and there's far less paperwork involved in
creating an LLC as compared to a corporation.
37
Nonprofit Organization
It’s a business organization that's intended to promote
educational or charitable purposes.
The "non-profit" aspect comes into play in that any money
earned by the company must be kept by the organization to pay
for its expense, programs, etc.
Keep in mind that there are several types of nonprofits
available, many of which can receive "tax exempt" status.
This process requires filing paperwork, including an
application, with the government for them to recognize you as a
nonprofit organization.
Depending on the parameters of your new business, they'll be
able to tell you which category you best fall under.
38
Cooperative
A business that's fully owned and operated for the benefit of the
members of the organization that use its services.
53. In other words, whatever is earned by the cooperative is then
shelled out among the members themselves, and aren't required
to be paid out to any external stakeholders, etc.
Unlike other types of businesses, which have shareholders,
cooperatives sell shares to cooperative "members," who then
have a say in the operations and direction of the cooperative
itself.
The main difference in the process of becoming a cooperative,
as opposed to the other types of businesses listed, is that your
organization must create bylaws, have a membership application
and have a board of directors with a charter member meeting.

Franchisee
FRANCHISOR OR FRANCHISEE?
A franchise is merely a legal document that defines a
54. commercial relationship between the owner of a trademark or
trade name and an individual or group that wants to use that
identification in business.
If you own a trademark you can choose to distribute your
product all by yourself, or you can create a contract with others
who wish to distribute the product you created.
In the simplest form, a franchisor owns the right to the name or
trademark, and sells that right to a franchisee.
This is known as a product/trade name franchising.
The franchise often provides a full range of services including
site selection, training, product supply, marketing plans, and
even assistance in obtaining financing.

Who is a Serial Entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur who continuously comes up with new ideas and
starts new businesses.
As opposed to a typical entrepreneur, who will often come up
with an idea, start the company, and then see it through and
play an important role in the day to day functioning of the new
company.
A serial entrepreneur will often come up with the idea and get
things started, but then give responsibility to someone else and
move on to a new idea and a new venture.
This can be a good thing if the individual has lots of unique
ideas and is the best one suited to get each one started, but can
be a bad thing if the individual stops putting time into a
company that needs his or her help, in order to try to move
forward with a new idea that may or may not succeed.

it 2 or more, are required to
give in an amount of resources to the company and an amount of
assets. They should be

distribute the required amount of
liabilities of the organization. (Investopedia , 2017)
