CONCEPT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

5. AS SAID ABOVE ENTREPRENEUR IS USED IN VARIOUS WAYS AND
VARIOUS VIEWS. THESE VIEWSARE BROADLY CLASSIFIED INTO THREE
GROUPS, NAMELY
• RISK BEARER
• ORGANIZER
• INNOVATOR
ENTREPREENEUR AS RISK BEARER:
 Richard Cantilon defined entrepreneur as an agent who buys factors as
production at certain prices in order to combine them into a product with a view
to selling it at uncertain prices in future.
 He illustrated a former who pays contractual incomes,
which are certain to land owners and labourers, and sells at prices that are
‘uncertain’.
 He includes merchants also who make certain payments in expectation of
uncertain receipts.
Hence both of them are risk-bearing agents of production.
MAIN CONCEPT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

6. ENTREPREENEUR AS AN ORGANIZER:
 According to J Baptist Say “an entrepreneur is one who combines the land of one, the labour of another
and capital of yet another, and thus produces
a product.
 By selling the product in the market, he pays interest on capital, rent on land and
wages to labourers and what remains is his/her profit”. Say made distinction between the role of capitalist
as a financer and the entrepreneur as an organizer.
 This concept of entrepreneur is associated with the functions of coordination, organisation and
supervision.

7. ENTREPREENEUR AS AN INNOVATOR:
 Joseph A Schum Peter in 1934 assigned a crucial role of ‘innovation’ to the
entrepreneur.
 He considered economic development as a dynamic change brought by
entrepreneur by instituting new combinations of factors of production, i.e.
innovations.
 The introduction of new combination according to him may occur in any
of the following forms.
(a) Introduction of new product in the market.
(b) Use of new method of production, which is not yet tested.
(c) Opening of new market.
(d) Discovery of new source of raw materials.
(e) Bringing out of new form of organisation.
