Introduction

Q1) Give the definitions of entrepreneur.      5

A1) Adam Smith (1776) considers an entrepreneur to be a proprietary capitalist who supplies capital and acts as a manager who acts as an intermediary between workers and consumers.

Francis A. Walker (1870) calls entrepreneurs the engineers of progress and the chief agent of production.

F. H. Knight (1921) claims that entrepreneurs are a group of professionals who take risks and deal with uncertainty.

J-A. Mill (1848) advocates the use of the term entrepreneur in the sense of an organizer who is paid for his non-manual type of work.

JB Say (1824) described entrepreneurs as "assembling factors of production, securing costs and profits, re-accumulating capital, and identifying product prices in such a way as to have management and production knowledge. It is defined as "an economic agent that does."

This definition emphasizes the economic activity of entrepreneurs.

This concept is also supported by Hagen Se Robinson (1942). The emphasis is on socio-economic contributions and entrepreneurial characteristics.

Innovations here are seen as new product introductions or new utilities for old products, new markets, new manufacturing methods, new sources of raw materials, and new organizations.

Herberton G. Evans (I957) defines an entrepreneur as an individual or group of individuals who is tasked with determining the type of business they run.

Evan entrepreneurs are only engaged in setting the nature of the business, the products or services offered, and the types of customers offered.

"An entrepreneur is an individual who initiates, maintains, or expands a profit-oriented business salt for the production or distribution of economical goods and services," says H. Cole (1959).

Cole believes that anyone engaged in economic activity to make a profit is an entrepreneur. Therefore, making a profit is the focus for identifying an entrepreneur.

This definition focuses on the concept of management, which means that entrepreneurs are also managers.

At a seminar on entrepreneurship in Delhi in 1981, entrepreneurs have been understood differently in today's context.

The consensus said, "Entrepreneurs embrace challenges, focus on production for development, be wary of successes and failures when taking standard risks, and be cautious and important stove conditions before reaching a decision. A person to consider. "

This concept has taken us to the ideas of efforts and adventures that contribute to the arrival of facial progress leading to human well-being. It is built on the physical activity associated with product production as well as the psychological aspects associated with entrepreneurial success.

Strong achievers of the goals to achieve the success of the venture and their entrepreneurs as risk takers of all desirable behaviours said: It takes on all or most of the risk. "

Birch entrepreneurs are not only ventures, but also risk takers and capital providers. Entrepreneurs bring talent; product and service venture ideas, know-how, and usually take the necessary risks to fund them.

Q3) What are the factors that improve entrepreneurship? What are the challenges for Indian entrepreneur?                                                                                                  8

A3) Factors that improve entrepreneurship

1. Encouragement plan by government authorities

The Government of India is also encouraging interest in entrepreneurship. We have launched a "Start up India" campaign to support entrepreneurial initiatives. Schemes have emerged to promote world-class innovation hubs and youth self-employed opportunities. The focus is especially high in technology-driven areas. The Government of India recognizes that entrepreneurship can boost the economy and improve the financial position of the people of the country. Such a belief in entrepreneurship from India's highest institutions leads to the development of interest in this area among the youth of the country.

2.     Rise of technology

Technology has made India a software powerhouse. It has the second largest number of Internet users in the world. In addition to this, work uncertainty fuels people's interest in having their own business. The industry is constantly in need of innovation to move forward, and start-ups are emerging to help companies solve their unique problems and increase efficiency in areas such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

3.     Female entrepreneur

The wave of entrepreneurs is also being driven by female entrepreneurs who are opening up niches for themselves. Start-ups such as Zivame, Kaaryah, Your Story and POPxo have become successful ventures. Led by the female founders, they meet the market needs of their respective segments.

Challenges for Indian entrepreneurs

1. Financing for business

The challenge for start ups is to raise money for their business. To do this, you need a reliable business plan and a strategy for how to enter the market. When start-ups are convinced of the potential success of a venture, they raise money from venture capitalists.

2.     Knowledge of how to run a business

It may seem easy, but every venture needs to have a good plan in the first place. Various business schools have started entrepreneurship courses to meet the requirements of interested students who want to become entrepreneurs. These courses help students understand their expectations correctly and prepare for an entrepreneurial career.

3.     Keep up with technology

This is important for start-ups in the technology sector. It's important that they keep track of the latest technology and stay ahead of the curve. Innovations are happening every day these days, and technology is quickly becoming obsolete. They need to keep improving their products and bring new and innovative products to their customers. Innovation needs to be useful to customers. They need to do good research to support the launch of their product. If a product does not meet the needs gap of the market, even the most advanced technology cannot succeed in the market.

4.     Quality of human resources

Business success depends on the people who work for it. The right combination of people is important. These people should be trained for their work profile. For example, marketing managers need to understand the industry and its customers and plan marketing campaigns accordingly. You also need work experience to perform your job properly. In addition, they need to have the right attitude and a keen interest in working to the fullest.

Entrepreneurship thrives in a facilitating environment that drives business growth. Entrepreneurship is very important to a booming economy, as entrepreneurs are not looking for work, but are job creators for the rest. With the right support, India's entrepreneurship can lead to India's economic growth and people's prosperity.

Today, many Indians are on the cusp of start ups, which is driving economic growth and improving domestic employment. With such a thriving community and increasingly ambitious entrepreneurs coming in, we also need to learn from the existing ecosystem on how to succeed in this area. One of the great ways to do that is to take an entrepreneurship certificate program that will give you important knowledge to succeed in this area.

Meanwhile, here are some important tips from the Indian entrepreneurial community.

Ideas need to meet existing needs

Many ideas have been born and some are great, but the big question is whether they are filling existing gaps or the individual needs that form the target customer. Many entrepreneurs assume that all interesting and good ideas are not only viable as business proposals, but always viable. This is not the case.

Keep an eye on your goals

Sometimes you can't concentrate on what you want to achieve. The daily challenge of running a new business with a small team and a limited time frame is high. Still, it's important to remember the goals you're defining and working on. That's because it helps you readjust if you get out of orbit.

Making money is important

You may have started a venture as a passion or idea that needs to take a bigger form. But you need to make money to make your venture sustainable and emerging. It takes time, but it is necessary for a venture to grow without losing its commitment to be economically viable or profitable.

Maintain an agile business plan

Sometimes you get hooked on your business plan and can't revise it based on changing needs of the venture itself. Therefore, remember that your business plan is very important and provides a roadmap. However, if you need to change roads, we also change the roadmap, so it's a good idea to use a business plan to drive your strategy. However, maintaining flexibility is just as important so that the strategy is fed back into the plan and changed as needed.

People are important

Talent is very important whether you are hiring a small number of employees or a large number of employees. Appropriate personnel are needed at all levels of the organization.

These are some great tips to help new entrepreneurs embark on this exciting journey.

This revealed that entrepreneurs have to take different kinds of risks in order to set up and run a new company.

These risks are associated with changes over time and price fluctuations.

There is uncertainty in entrepreneurship as a conceptual ability. In addition, by elaborating on it, we made a slight distinction between risk and uncertainty.

According to this, "uncertainty carries risks and is neither predicted nor insured.

The ability to take such risks and provide guarantees against uncertainty is entrepreneurship.

2. Innovative concept

According to this concept, an entrepreneur is a developed country economy, whose parents have something new in the economy. "

Innovation is a specific tool for entrepreneurship.

In this concept, entrepreneurship is considered an adaptation of various innovations in the industry, of new production systems or technologies, new products, new markets, new marketing methods, new quality raw materials, new packaging, and methods. A new mix is ​​being used.

Ability to make decisions during uncertainty.

What's more, he also envisions high-level performance inspiration to make men entrepreneurs.

They have the view that entrepreneurship may develop through education and training.

Management ability may be learned through education and training, as well as entrepreneurship may be developed through education and training.

As a result, governments and private organizations are implementing a variety of training programs for entrepreneurial development.

9. Result-oriented concept

According to this concept, entrepreneurship is nowadays called result-oriented.

Well, it's not that important, what effort was made to reach the goal, how much effort was put into it, and more importantly what the outcome was.

In the business world, only those who succeed in achieving their goals are recognized as entrepreneurs.

10. Concept of personality, identity, or role transformation process

Entrepreneurship is not only about adopting new jobs and behaviours, but also about changing personality and establishing new identities through it.

Q5) What risk does an entrepreneurship face?     5

A5) Following are the risk taken by entrepreneurship is:

1. Lack of stable Paycheque

Entrepreneurs make obscene amounts – true. But no one will be Steve Jobs for a day, a couple of months. The road is long, not to mention very uncertain and risky.

It's pretty black and white. You need to quit your current job, abandon your career, and dive deep into entrepreneurship. There used to be a stable source of income, but now there is no guarantee.

This is the most serious risk that emerging entrepreneurs need to consider before the final plunge. Because even in the first few months, or even the year, you have to work hard to maintain your company, rather than thinking of tremendous or stable income.

Many entrepreneurs rely on working part-time on independent gigs, at least initially. By doing so, they can get a reliable safety net.

2. Beware of competitors

Despite fierce competition, all entrepreneurs decide to float and start their business. But there are other forms of competition that may not be so easy to face.

Take Uber as an example. It's very clear how the company is disrupting the market, or more precisely the taxi market. This is one risk you have to take on your entrepreneurial journey.

Unfortunately, like our competitors, there is no way to prevent confusion. Entrepreneurs want to be able to work hard at risk and come out unharmed.

There are some cases where a company went bankrupt completely due to the turmoil. The same thing happened to "Blockbuster" when Netflix disrupted the market and forced them to file for bankruptcy protection.

3. Currency fluctuations

Globalization is rampant today. There is no mistake. And all entrepreneurs are trying to enter the foreign market very sensitively by increasing their outreach.

However, this scenario paves the way for one of the most common entrepreneurial risks: uncertain currency fluctuations. If this fluctuation somehow goes against your favour, you will have to worry about rising exchange rate losses.

4. Cyber ​​security risk

One of the most common entrepreneurial risks in the world today, in particular, is cyber security risk.

Everyone knows the dramatic impact it can have on your company if your sensitive information is leaked. People without the proper authority should have no access to important, sensitive employee and company data.

We recently confirmed the impact of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the involvement of big names like Facebook in the data breach scandal. This was followed by public resentment towards Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. And that wasn't the end.

5. Maintaining a stable customer pipeline

It's hard enough to convince the first client, but it's not easy to maintain a stable customer pipeline, even when your business is up and running.

It's also a bit difficult to get people to trust you when you're in the early stages of your business. To get a stable lead flow in your pipeline, you need to work on building a large network of loyal communities and prospects.

6. Trust business partners or key employees

Many entrepreneurs overlook this, but trusting key employees and business partners is one of the most common entrepreneurial risks.

One is that it is unlikely that you will have a large number of employees when you are just starting out. Instead, you probably only have a business partner and a few employees.

To get things up and running, you need to put a lot of trust in your business partners or key employees. Now, this risk is unavoidable because there are not many options at this stage of life.

There are numerous issues that can arise if this trust turns out to be irrelevant. First, a trusted employee or partner knows a great deal of important data and information about the company. In addition, putting all absolute trust in one person's abilities can also lead to timeline failures.

7. Sacrifice private capital

Want to be an entrepreneur? It is amazing!

But did you think about the funding you would need to start your own business venture?

I think you rely heavily on external funding, but not all entrepreneurs can do that. Often, you try to dispel your own personal savings to fund your business venture.

This is one of the most common entrepreneurial risks, as it is even more burdensome.

If God forbids, your business venture won't work, and you may not even have a reliable safety net. This is actually a big risk, but once things start to recover, you'll be happy to take this risk.

8. Invest in your personal time and health

If you think being an employee robs you of your social life and maximum time (and health), you haven't seen anything yet.

Being an entrepreneur is a tedious task that robs you of much. At first, you may feel that the entire business venture is just stealing resources without giving anything in return. Lack of revenue and profits can have a negative impact on your mental and physical health, but since you've started a business, don't give up in the meantime.

Think of this as just a few obstacles in the path.

Always keep in mind that you are not the only one taking this risk. In fact, it's one of the most common entrepreneurial risks. But if all goes well, it turns out to be a risk worth taking.

Q6) Throw some lights on Economic theory of an entrepreneur.  8

A6) Economic Theories

G.F. Papanek and J.R Harris are economists who encouraged financial theory.       According to them, financial incentives are the principle force for entrepreneurial activates. A few critical financial theories of entrepreneurship are mentioned below

1)  RISK BEARING THEORY OF KNIGHT

There are sure dangers which are measurable and the opportunity of such chance may be statistically anticipated and for this reason such dangers may be insured. Example of insurable dangers encompasses robbery of commodities, hearth place withinside the enterprise, unintentional loss of life etc. On the alternative hand, there are sure dangers which cannot be calculated.

The opportunity in their incidence cannot be statistically ascertained. Such dangers encompass dangers related to modifications in prices, call for and supply. These dangers are non-insurable. Prof. Knight opined that the earnings is the praise for bearing the non-insurable dangers and uncertainties. Uncertainty-bearing is one of the maximum critical capabilities in a dynamic economy. The entrepreneur bears the uncertainty concerned withinside the enterprise.

The salient factors of Knight’s concept include:

i. According to the concept, the entrepreneur earns natural income for bearing the uncertainty.

Ii. The chance of uncertainty or non-insurable dangers can't be statistically estimated.

Entrepreneurs adopt dangers of various levels in line with their cap potential advert inclination. The concept shows that the extra unstable the character of company, the better stage of earnings earned with the aid of using the marketers.

Iv. Profit is the praise of the entrepreneur for bearing uncertainties and dangers. Hence, it needs to be part of the ordinary cost.

v. The praise of the entrepreneur is uncertain. Entrepreneur ensures hobby to lender of capital, wages to employees and hire to the landlord.

Vi. The stage of uncertainty in enterprise may be decreased with the aid of using making use of the method of consolidation. The overall stage of uncertainty may be decreased with the aid of using pooling man or woman instances.

F.H. Knight’s concept is one of the maximum state-of-the-art theories to provide an explanation for delivery of entrepreneurship primarily based totally on earnings. But, the concept suffers from positive drawbacks as pointed with the aid of using the critics.

i. The function of an entrepreneur has now no longer been elaborately supplied with the aid of using the concept. The entrepreneur’s pastime has been restrained to uncertainty bearing. Modern enterprise sports are one-of-a-kind. Often, there may be a dichotomy among possession and management. These elements have now no longer been taken into consideration.

Ii. The uncertainty-bearing concept mentioned the idea of earnings in a indistinct way. The actual estimation of earnings for the entrepreneur has now no longer been supplied withinside the concept

Iii. Profit as residual earnings of the entrepreneur has been criticized.

Iv. Critics sense that uncertainty-bearing need to know no longer be dealt with like different elements of manufacturing like land, labour and capital. It is a mental idea and need to be dealt with in a one-of-a-kind manner.

2) THEORY OF ADJUSTMENT OF PRICE- The adjustment of charges is the principle function of the entrepreneur. According to Kirzner, alertness to disequilibrium is the distinguishing traits of an entrepreneur. Alertness permits a few people to interfere withinside the marketplace with the aid of using converting the charge even as different people definitely reply to marketplace with the aid of using converting their shopping for and promoting plan in lieu of the brand new charge.

Kirzner in addition keeps that the number one function of financial concept is to provide an explanation for behaviour in phrases of functional human motion and take into account to that volume functional human moves can have interaction to supply surprising earnings.

3) HARVARD SCHOOL THEORY- According to this college concept, entrepreneurship takes a functional pastime which initiates, keep or increase an earnings incomes company in interplay with the inner scenario of the enterprise or with the financial, political and social occasions surrounding the enterprise. This concept emphasised styles of sports.

a) The organisation or co-ordination pastime and

b) The sensitivity to the environmental traits that have an effect on choice making.

4) INNOVATION THEORY OF SCHUMPETER- Joseph Schumpeter propounded the famous revolutionary concept of entrepreneurship. Schumpeter takes the case of a capitalist closed financial system that's in desk bound equilibrium. He believed that marketers disturb the desk bound round glide of the financial system with the aid of using introducing an innovation and takes the financial system to a brand new stage of development. The sports of the marketers constitute a scenario of disequilibrium as their sports ruin the recurring round glide.

Innovation may want to contain any of the subsequent:

i. Innovation of recent products.

Ii. Innovation in novel strategies or methods of manufacturing.

Iii. The beginning up of a brand new market.

Iv. Entrepreneurs would possibly locate new supply of deliver of uncooked materials

v. Innovation in control. This method reorganization of an industry

Criticisms:

Schumpeter’s concept has been subjected to the subsequent criticisms:

i. Critics sense that the concept over emphasised on progressive features of the entrepreneur. It omitted the organizing factors of entrepreneurship.

Ii. Schumpeter had absolutely omitted the chance-taking characteristic of the entrepreneur, which can't be omitted. Whenever an entrepreneur develops a brand new mixture of things of manufacturing, there's sufficient chance involved.

Iii. The concept is greater relevant in advanced nations only. In growing nations there's a paucity of progressive entrepreneurs.

Iv. The concept does now no longer offer the reason as to why few nations have greater entrepreneurship expertise than others.

Despite of the entire above criticisms Schumpeter’s concept is taken into consideration as a landmark withinside the enlargement of entrepreneurship theories.

5) LEIBENSTEIN’S X-EFFICIENCY THEORY- The idea of X-performance turned into brought through Harvey Leibenstein a referred to economist in1966 in his article titled “Allocative performance vs. X-performance”. This is likewise called X-inefficiency. In popular X-inefficiency refers back to the distinction among the premiere green behaviour of enterprise in concept and the located behaviour is exercise which happens as a result of distinct elements.

X-performance refers back to the effectiveness with which a given set of inputs are used to provide outputs. If a specific company is generating the most output it can, given the assets it employs with the nice to be had technology, it's miles stated to be technical-green. X-inefficiency happens whilst technical-performance isn't achieved. Whenever an enter isn't used correctly the distinction among the real output and the most output as a consequence of that enter is a degree of the diploma of X-performance.

Harvey Leibenstein had cited that for allocative performance the entire economic system turned into taken into consideration while in case of X-performance simply precise agencies and industries are to be taken into consideration.

X-performance arises both due to the fact the company’s assets are used withinside the incorrect manner or due to the fact they may be wasted, that is, now no longer used at all.

The entrepreneur has been entrusted roles; first the position of an opening filler and 2nd an enter completer. The manufacturing characteristic typically has positive deficiencies. These deficiencies and hole get up due to the fact all of the elements of manufacturing characteristic can't be marketed. The entrepreneur has been entrusted the task to fill the gaps withinside the market. The 2nd position of the entrepreneur is entering completion. The entrepreneur has to mobilize all of the to be had inputs in an effort to enhance the performance of current manufacturing strategies.

Leibenstein recommended sorts of entrepreneurship. First kind is the ‘Routine entrepreneurship’ which includes the essential features of control of enterprise. Second kind is that of the ‘New entrepreneurship’ which includes progressive entrepreneurship.

The concept has many novel contributions however has been criticized on following counts:

I. The specific have an effect on which the X-performance has on output of an corporation can't be determined.

II. The concept is much less predictable in comparison to ordinary theories.

Q7) Explain the psychological theory of entrepreneur.    8

A7) PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES

According to the psychologists, entrepreneurship is maximum possibly to emerge whilst a society has enough deliver of person owning precise mental traits. The theories proposed through McClelland and Hagen fall beneath essential mental theories. They are defined below-

1) DAVID MCCLELLAND THEORY OF HIGH ACHIEVEMENT   - This concept turned into advanced through David. McClelland. McClelland involved himself with monetary boom and the elements that have an effect on it. In this context, he attempts to locate the inner elements i.e. “human values and reasons that lead guy to make the most opportunities, to take gain of beneficial alternate conditions.” That is why he offers significance to the progressive traits of entrepreneurial position. The entrepreneur is involved with want for fulfilment (n-fulfilment).

The n-fulfilment is referred to as “a preference to do well, now no longer a lot for the sake of social reputation or prestige, however for the sake of an internal feeling of private accomplishment.”

It is that this reason of n-fulfilment that courses the moves of entrepreneur. People with excessive n-fulfilment behave in an entrepreneurial way. So it's far higher to expand n-fulfilment amongst people to make sure excessive scale of monetary development. In exercise, n-fulfilment reason is inculcated via toddler rearing practices, which pressure requirements of excellence, cloth warmth, self-reliance, education and coffee father dominance.

McClelland recognized traits of entrepreneurship. First doing matters in a brand new and higher way. Secondly, choice making beneath uncertainty.

This reason is known as because the tendency to attempt for achievement in conditions regarding an assessment of one’s overall performance with regards to a few preferred of excellence. People having excessive want for fulfilment are much more likely to be successful as marketers.

According to McClelland, people with excessive want fulfilment will now no longer be inspired through financial incentives however that financial rewards will represent a image of fulfilment for them. Similarly, they're additionally now no longer fascinated a great deal for social popularity or status however their last purpose is non-public accomplishment. That is why McClelland shows that so that you can improve the extent of fulfilment motivation, dad and mom have to set excessive requirements for his or her children

Critical Evaluation:

Research at the mental roots of entrepreneurship monitor that excessive fulfillment orientation guarantees the achievement of marketers. But the empirical gear of idea utilized by McClelland are located to be pretty suspect and one wonders how some of the folks who are judged to have excessive n-fulfilment should achieve using it in exercise withinside the modern growing international locations except reinforced through different reinforcing circumstances.

2) E. E. HAGEN’S THEORY (EMPHASIS ON WITHDRAWAL OF STATUS RESPECT): E. Hagen tried to formulate a principle of social extrade. The principle of social extrade explains that once individuals of a few social agencies experience that their values and standing aren't reputable through the society, they flip to innovation to get the honour of the society. According to Hagen, entrepreneurship is a feature of repute withdrawal. This principle affords that a category which misplaced its preceding status or a minority organization has a tendency to expose competitive entrepreneurial drive.

Hagen postulates 4 sorts of activities which could produce repute withdrawal:

(i) Displacement of a conventional elite organization from its preceding repute through some other conventional organization through bodily force.

(ii) Denigration of values, symbols via a few extrade withinside the mindset of advanced organization.

(iii) Inconsistency of static image with a converting distribution of monetary strength and.

(iv) Non-attractiveness of predicted repute on migration to a brand new society.

Hagen in addition opined that innovative innovation or extrade is the fundamental characteristic of monetary boom. He describes an entrepreneur as a innovative trouble shooter inquisitive about matters withinside the sensible and technological realm. Such form of person feels a experience of extended satisfaction while dealing with a trouble and tolerates ailment without discomfort.

In conventional societies, positions of authority are granted on the idea of repute, in place of person ability. That is why, Hagen visualised an progressive personality.

There are 4 responses which determine the personality-

(i) Retreatist – One who combines to paintings withinside the society however stays detached to his paintings and position.

Ii) Ritualist – One who adopts a form of shielding behaviour and acts withinside the approaches everyday and authorized in his society however and not using a hopes of enhancing his position.

(iii) Reformist- One who foments a revolt and tries to set up a brand new society?

(iv) Innovator- A innovative person who's in all likelihood to be an entrepreneur.

Innovation calls for creativity and such innovative people purpose monetary boom. In exercise innovative personalities emerge while the individuals of a few social agencies revel in the withdrawal of repute respect. Whenever there may be any withdrawal of repute respect, it might supply upward push to innovation an  innovative person who's in all likelihood to be an entrepreneur.

Critical Evaluation:

The principle acts to differentiate among entrepreneurship and intra-preneurship. There are various factors withinside the corporation which encourage the executives and specialists to perform a little progressive behaviour main to new merchandise and services. Actually, they're now no longer ruled through repute withdrawal.

The principle most effective shows that the people, who had loved social status during their histories, fall right into a retreats segment and with an urge to regain that misplaced repute end up entrepreneurial personality. The principle additionally presupposes a long time angle for entrepreneurial boom approximately 3 to 5 generations for the emergence of entrepreneurship.

But surely it does now no longer happen. In India, first era marketers are pretty a hit of their entrepreneurial behaviour. J.P. Gour of Jai Prakash Industries and Sunil Mittal of Bharti organization etc. may be noted on this context.

Q8) State the Sociological Theory of an entrepreneurship.   8

A8) The supporters of sociological theory say that the entrepreneurial activities are affected from social status hierarchy and values. Individuals’ position, tradition, cultural values, mobility and social status etc. are thoroughly effected to entrepreneurship development. The sociological theories depend on this concept.

Two important social and cultural theories are:

1) MAX WEBER THEORY OF SOCIAL CHANGE

According to Weber, “A person who lives in which community, religion and follows the conventions and religious values.”

All these things completely affect by their professional life, energy, livelihood and enthusiasm.

In other words, Max Weber is connected with the emergence and success of entrepreneurs with social ethical values systems. He also associated the

Entrepreneurship development with protestants and other non-convents.

According to him, non-convents groups are those groups who give pressure on capitalism, money rationality and thinking. They were almost successful in creating entrepreneurs, wealth collection, technology, capital formation and economic development.

“The modern economic development is explained to a greater extent, by the social factors as discussed in the foregoing lines. This becomes more prominently evident when we contrast the Indian culture with that of the western of particularly of the American culture. Even if we contrast the different sub cultures within the same larger society, the story of economic development is explained.”

Weber says that the religious beliefs and moral values are basically affected to people’s attitude, view trust and thinking pattern and people’s selected occupational pursuits as per earlier things.

Highlighted Points:

i. Entrepreneurship development is based on Protestants.

Ii. Selection of occupation pursuits is effected from religious and social values.

Iii. Religious and moral values are affected to people’s attitude, thinking power.

2)B. F. HOSELITZ’S CULTURE THEORY OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

According to Hoselitz, “The development of industrial entrepreneur is based on only which type of society is there.”

a. Social process is not static.

b. Sufficient employment pattern is available.

c. Encourage to entrepreneurs for personality development.

Hoeslitz says, “Culturally marginal groups plays an important role in encouraging the economic development of any nation.”

Q10) Discuss the environmental factors affecting entrepreneur.  8

A10) People in society live in the umbrella of a particular environment. Therefore, entrepreneurship emerges in the context of the environment of all societies in the world.

Certain factors of the external environment that influence the growth and development of entrepreneurs are still issues that are being discussed among experts.

Several authors have addressed this topic by identifying a set of factors that make up the entrepreneurial environment.

1. Venture capital availability

When starting a new venture, some form of venture funding is usually essential.

In a well-established entrepreneurial environment, one source of venture capital is already successful entrepreneurs in the area.

They will often sympathize with other new ventures as a means of management and finance.

Many venture capital firms have developed their capital base as entrepreneurs.

According to Cooper (1970), an important initial source of capital for many companies is the shares held by the founders of the companies they previously worked for.

In the US electronics industry, executive-to-enterprise stock options can make it economically feasible to leave a company and become an entrepreneur.

In Austin, the atypical situation meant that venture capital was not a significant environmental factor.

Most companies were not capital intensive and were therefore founded with internal funding. The initial capital required was only tens of thousands of dollars

As Hoffman (1972) observes, if a local bank or other local source of funding does not provide a loan due to inexperience in lending to a technology company, the entrepreneur will go elsewhere.

This lack of experience arises from the "economic history" of the region and has a significant impact on lending policies and practices.

Cooper (1970) points out those most new companies raised locally for the following reasons:

The founder was unaware of potential investors in other areas.

Local investors tended to understand and empathize with technology-oriented businesses.

Potential local investors can easily see the background of an aspiring entrepreneur. In many cases, they knew the individual personally.

Investors can stay in close contact with the new company.

Presentations and suggestions to local investors didn't have to be elaborate.

2. Existence of experienced entrepreneurs and incubator organizations

The idea that entrepreneurial activity promotes more activity is the paper of some authors.

Cooper (1970) argues that: "Technical entrepreneurship in a particular area seems to be closely tied to the incubator organization (established company) that is already there.

Unless such an incubator organization exists in the region, it is unlikely that a new technology-based company will be born there. "

When the first tech companies succeed, they begin to change the environment and attract other entrepreneurs.

Naumes (1978) states: Encourage potential entrepreneurs who are already in the area. "

In particular, successful entrepreneurs can leverage the experience and knowledge gained from previous successes and failures. If they study their predecessors, they can understand the formula of success.

Spin-off companies can take advantage of their existing talent pool. If the risks associated with a new company are managed and easily assessed, their talents are more likely to leave a safe position in the area.

The source of debate is whether SMEs or large companies are better incubators for new start-ups.

On the other hand, it can be argued that employment in small businesses exposes potential entrepreneurs to any problems or decisions that entrepreneurs may encounter at startups.

On the other hand, it can be argued that the experience of working for some large companies seems to inspire employees to become entrepreneurial.

Incubator organizations are important to potential entrepreneurs, gain management insights to supplement his technical expertise, and become familiar with customers and suppliers while paying someone else's salary.

The network he develops is tied to the environment of the incubator organization, so when he starts a venture, it tends to be in the same area.

3. Technically Skilled Labor Force

A technically skilled labor force is another important environmental factor conducive to entrepreneurial activity.

In the Twin Cities of USA, the hearing aid industry provided a technical base; many technicians and engineers were employed in the area (Draheim 1972).

Labor skilled in a particular area of the new venture facilitates the formation of new companies.

A Stanford Research Institute (SRI) (1962) study of small businesses in the electronics industry concluded that the “availability of the type of labor required in the industry is one of the most important considerations in determining the location of electronics companies”.

Since a new firm is viewed as a high-risk place of employment, skilled labor is not willing to relocate. The new firm must locate where the labor pool already exists.

4. Accessibility of Suppliers

Although several authors (Cooper 1970, Shapero 1972, Schollhammer and Kunloff 1979) have noted the importance of supplier access to entrepreneurship, no published research has been found to support this proposition.

In some situations, good access to suppliers has likely had a positive impact on the decision to start a company.

One suspects, however, that this is the exception rather than the norm, and that accessibility’ to suppliers is seldom a deciding factor.

The consideration is likely to be highly specific to particular industries, depending upon the bulkiness of raw materials and the degree of personal service desired from suppliers.

Again, little published research is available.

In general, this factor appears to be more significant when the entrepreneurial activity has local rather than national or international scope, or when customers are geographically concentrated. It should also depend on the amount and frequency of personal interaction required by customers.

5. Accessibility of Customers or New Markets

This factor is particularly important when the entrepreneurial activity has local rather than national or international in scope or when customers are geographically concentrated.

It should also depend on the amount and frequency of personal interaction required by customers.

The new entrepreneur found it difficult to enter into a new market or inaccessible market due to its incapacity in respect of lower means and efficiency.

Socio-political as well as cultural barriers also deter entry into a new market. A market structure may be a strong barrier for entrepreneurs to have access to the market.

Therefore, environmental support for having entered into the new market or customers is primacy for the entrepreneurship in any country.

6. Favorable Government Policies

Taxation rates, licensing policies, and other government activities can have a positive or negative’ impact on entrepreneurship.

Several researchers address the governmental influence factor to observe that state and local legislation on taxation and licensing can make one location more attractive than another.

Cooper (1973) maintains that this legislation affects the ability to collect “seed” capital with which to start new ventures. Mahar and Coddington (1965) observe that taxes on business must bear some relationship to the services provided, but assert that if lax costs were the only consideration.

Certain parts of the USA, like Boston. Palo Alto and Los Angeles would never have developed as centers of entrepreneurial activity since California and Massachusetts have high taxes.

Vesper and Albaum (1979) point to the area’s unfavorable business tax structures as deterrents to new start-ups.

Galvin (1978) notes that taxation laws often defer rather than forwarding the decision to start a new business.

7. Proximity of Universities

It is a popular Relief that universities are the source of technical spin-off companies, but this is the exception, not the’ rule.

If it does occur, it is due to the positive encouragement by the administration or its passive acceptance of entrepreneurial activity on the part of the faculty, and the presence of contract research, contract research centers, or laboratories (Shapeno 1972).

Cooper maintains that universities have undoubtedly played a role in attracting able young men and women to particular regions, and sometimes in giving the firms located there competitive advantages in recruiting and retaining these people.

They also provide sources of consulting assistance and opportunities for continuing education for professional employees.

However, the degree to which universities play a central or essential role in technical entrepreneurship appears to vary widely (1973).

Mapes observes that “many professors and laboratory researchers at big universities throughout the country are going into business for themselves. Mostly they take theories that they develop while doing uni­versity research work and put them to practical use in highly specialized new products”.

There is also some evidence that the university spin-off is more likely to succeed than the average new business venture.

One advantage is their connection with university research labs and the government agencies that finance them.

Mapes quotes F. Turman of. Stanford University, the USA as saying “more universities now believe a spin-off is in their enlightened self-interest.

It builds the community as a more attractive place for faculty and students, and it keeps scientists in touch with the engineering problems that exist in the practical world”(1907).

Allison (1965) concedes that schools with strong engineering and science capabilities and policies that encourage entrepreneurship to stimulate new enterprises. The presence of academic institutions, however, may be merely a facilitating factor and not a necessary one.

For example, Dallas did not have a “natural attractiveness” in terms of climate or academic institutions but was able to develop an industrial community by creating a connection between its research centers and the rest of the community.

Hennings’ (1979) empirical investigation of organizational births found the presence of a university to be insignificant.

8. Availability of Land or Facilities

Mahar and Coddington (1965) emphasize the importance of low-cost facilities for newly-formed companies since they have little capital with which to operate.

They recommend the construction of shell-type buildings with easily movable partitions if incubator space is not available in older buildings.

They maintain that high-quality industrial space is also essential since firms usually do not want to worry about the ‘availability of water, power, sewage, roads, or zoning”.

Recent researches in various countries of the world suggest the negative impact that land availability and related factors can have.

Quirt (1978) points out that California-based high-technology companies are not building their new plants in California because of rising labor costs, environmental regulations, high’ business taxes, and generous unemployment compensation rates.

The uncertainty over energy supplies, the absence of industrial revenue bonds, and soaring housing costs also influence decisions to locate plants elsewhere.

9. Accessibility of Transportation

Accessibility to transportation and transportation costs are cited as important environmental factors by several authors. It affects the establishment and progress of the business and industry.

Mahar and Coddington (1965) emphasize the importance of airline transportation while Schary (1979) says that industry type, competition, general and specific location, firm size, product, markets, energy, and regulation affect the importance of transportation to businesses in the certain areas of the world.

It exhibits that transportation along with other variables is a significant contributive factor that influences business decisions.

But it is highly affected by the nature of industry or business.

Cooper (1973) observes that transportation costs may not be very important with many high-technology products but the ability to work closely with customers is sometimes essential.

10. Receptive Population

Cooper (1970) notes that public reception of new issues of stock can “substantially affect the availability of venture capital, an important factor for success. Societal attitudes toward business and entrepreneurship.

Undoubtedly influence individual decisions. Manhar and Cod dington (1965) conclude that it is difficult for a firm lo to operate successfully in an unsupportive environment.

They define an encouraging environment as “an attitude which recognizes that small firms are making important contributions to the economic development of the area (1965).

A supportive population would promote the law, labor and materials supply, financing, distribution and selling of goods or services and promotion of the firm and the product.

11. Availability of Supporting Service

Support services are auxiliary activities that are vital for the operation and survival of new ventures.

Thus, this factor usually affects a firm after the initial formation stage. These services are provided by accountants, tax experts, lawyers, and consultants specializing in new ventures and small businesses.

Naumes (1978) mentions that these advisors understand the typical problems present in starting a new enterprise.

He further opines that they help entrepreneurs overcome many of the initial stumbling blocks to successful new venture initiation.

The existence of supporting services further assures that new ventures will be more successful in the future.

12. Attractive Living Conditions

The cultural, climatologically and recreational amenities are the greatest important factors for the growth and development of entrepreneurial ventures.

A community must become an exciting and attractive place if it is to attract and retain the technical professional workforce that is the chief productive factor in high technology industries.

The highly-trained body of workers is relatively young, highly mobile, in great demand and has a choice of places to work and live, it will not stay in a community that does not have within it a selection of amenities that are available elsewhere (Shapero, 1972).

Mahar and Coddington (1965) mention that primary and secondary schools are very important because qualified people want good educational facilities for their children.

Q11) Write the impact of the environment on the entrepreneurship development.                                                                                                                                            8

A11) The impact of the environment on the entrepreneurship development and growth is to be empirically measured to understand the essentiality of the environmental support for the emergence of entrepreneurship in any society.

Bruno and Tyebjee (1982) suggested a model explain the measurable impact of the environment on the entrepreneurial activity.

They opined that entrepreneurial activity can be measured in terms of three types of outcome: start-up outcome, performance outcome, and residual outcome.

The impact of the environment on entrepreneurship activities and its outcomes are presented in the model.

Start-up outcomes include the number of start-ups, equity and legal structure of start-ups/new ventures, and scale of start-ups. They record the impact of the environment on emerging entrepreneurs.

Available resources and the cost of doing business influence the prospective entrepreneurs to take the venture imitative. The scale, the number and the size of the ventures are also dependent on environmental variables.

Performance outcomes record how entrepreneurs fare in various environments.

Profitability measures such as ROI, ROA, return on sales, growth and market share, ability lo am act new customers, the establishment of a market position arc the indicators of the performance outcomes.

Failure of the firm, of course, is a negative performance outcome.

Residual outcomes occur in the latter stages of the firm’s life cycle. Changes in the capital structure, particularly the exit of venture funds from the equity base, are residual outcomes.

The issue of shares “going public” on the market is another. Merger and acquisition activity is third.

Finally, new start-ups by the firm’s principal and the development of new products, markets, or technologies are evidence of residual entrepreneurial activity.

Environmental influences have been classified into two groups and linked to the three outcome levels. The first group includes the resources necessary to start a firm.

The second group includes factors that influence the cost of doing business.

Resource availability will affect start-up outcomes and residual outcomes.

The projected cost of doing business will influence start-up outcomes, particularly the decision to start a venture, and the realized cost of doing business will influence performance outcomes.

Q14) Explain risk taking in entrepreneurship.     5

A14) Whether you are all-in all through a pleasant poker sport or quitting a protracted profession to pursue one in every of your promising commercial enterprise ideas, it is horrifying to take dangers. Most humans have a tendency to keep away from dangers as plenty as viable due to the fact it's far regularly more secure to take no movement than to do, however maximum a success humans take dangers to everybody else. He stated he become inclined to get to in which he become. Otherwise, I could both make investments the cash that everybody else idea become crazy, or idea it might work.

Still, taking dangers is horrifying, specifically for brand new marketers. But it is greater complex than simply "doing what may have horrific effects." Keep those 5 concerns in thoughts to make you sense greater snug taking dangers and to make greater knowledgeable danger-primarily based totally decisions.

1. Risk taking is inherent in entrepreneurship.

If you are now no longer equipped to take dangers, you do not have a commercial enterprise to turn out to be an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is essentially related to danger taking. In maximum cases, you'll want to make investments a number of your non-public capital in a developing commercial enterprise. Bet your recognition on unproven ideas. Sacrifice a strong profits for the primary few months to a year. The equal is proper in maximum cases.

And from there, each choice you're making includes a small danger-your new lease may also cease in a month, your lead technology method may also fail, your new method May offend one in every of your quality clients. Accepting danger as a part of a deal, and whilst you input the entrepreneurial world, you want to be equipped for it.

2. There are exceptional styles of dangers.

Here, we aren't simply referring to "huge dangers" and "small dangers", additionally they exist. There is a computable danger. This consists of a fixed of acknowledged dangers which could fairly are expecting the opportunity of achievement. For example, ancient statistics may also infer that there's a 30 longer that attendance will decline till a alternate truthful attendee turns into unprofitable.

There are ambiguous dangers, along with a few acknowledged and a few unknown, complicating the choice-making process. Most commercial enterprise dangers fall into this class due to the fact it's far hard to quantify or are expecting such a lot of elements, which includes customer conduct and financial changes. Second, there's a very unknown danger. This occurs whilst you carry some thing certainly specific to the market. Knowing the distinction among those dangers will assist you higher recognize how "dangerous" a choice at a specific factor in time is actually.

3. Some of the dangers aren't rewarded.

Optimistic danger takers constantly don't forget matters to be half-filled, with a 50 achievement charge of "quite correct odds" and a 75 achievement charge of "certain." This is similarly complex via way of means of the cultural perception that danger-taking is normally a profitable method. However, do now no longer anticipate that every one dangers are correct dangers, or that you'll constantly gain from deciding on a volatile option.

Some dangers (even cautiously calculated ones) fail. Accept it in preference to ignoring this reality to conquer your tension approximately danger. Accept the opportunity of failure. If you're making a mistake, please do now no longer take it personally. Learn from revel in and pass on.

4. We are inherently biased toward catastrophe prediction.

The human thoughts have inherent biases that distort the notion of danger. First, it has a tendency to magnify the opportunity of failure. With uncooked estimates (restrained numerical statistics), humans have a tendency to are expecting failure greater pessimistically than the real state of affairs justifies. Second, it significantly exaggerates the effects of those failures. We anticipate the worst state of affairs in which truth is plenty simpler to manage.

5. Risk is a differentiator.

Some dangers provide better fee promises. Some dangers have much less capability effects than others. Some dangers may also accomplish or wreck your commercial enterprise. However, there's one crucial element that every one dangers have in common. It's a differentiator. The world's danger takers evidently stand out withinside the crowd, as maximum humans do not take dangers, and as all of us know, most effective outstanding marketers and groups purpose for a success breakout. I am.

Even if it fails, you are, so that you could speak, "failing in style". And it can monitor greater possibilities for itself, simply as it become inclined to interrupt the norm prominently.
