Study Notes
Nature and Concept
- Entrepreneurship consists of five salient features derived from its operational definition
- The salient features of entrepreneurship provide a better understanding of the concept
- The salient features act as a reference point for determining if a business endeavor operates within entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship as an Art of Correct Practices
- Entrepreneurship is an art, not a science; it’s dynamic and constantly changing, denoting movement and innovation
- It is not static or stagnant but continuously grows, develops, improves, and expands, evolving and responding to people's changing needs
- Entrepreneurship is closely related to creativity, contributing to the enhancement of the enterprise and generating new ideas
- Entrepreneurs are always searching for something new and transform new ideas into entrepreneurial opportunities
Entrepreneurship as a Wealth-Creating Venture
- Entrepreneurship operates within the concept of wealth creation rather than just profit generation
- Wealth is defined as the abundance of money, property, or possessions, not just business profit
- Profit represents the excess income or revenue from costs and expenses and is applicable to accounting to measure business operating performance
Entrepreneurship as Providing Value to Customers
- Entrepreneurship creates economic wealth by providing valuable goods and services
- Goods and services provided must have value to create wealth, and one essential principle is “not to sell waste to consumers but only valuable goods and services"
- The owner of the business is engaged in the sale of goods and services however, the mere act of selling doesn't warrant someone as an entrepreneur
Entrepreneurship Entailing Opening and Managing the Self-Owned Enterprise
- This feature highlights two elements: opening a self-owned enterprise and managing it
- The entrepreneur opens and manages their own business under the principle of entrepreneurship
- A self-owned business means the person managing its daily activities is also its owner, which is a requirement of entrepreneurship
- Businesses managed by others for the benefit of the owners fall under intrapreneurship, including franchising and buyouts
- The issue is about ownership, not the amount of capital or nature of the business
- Businesses range from small bakeries to large construction companies, provided the owner manages them
Entrepreneurship as a Risk-Taking Venture
- Risk is inherent in an entrepreneurial venture, coming simultaneously with new ideas or opportunities
- This risk cannot be detached from any entrepreneurial venture, and the only way to remove it is to close the venture
- Closing the business means giving up and is not the ultimate solution for handling the risk, instead, risk in entrepreneurship is called a business risk
