Did you know what
they all have in
common?
Do you agree that
“Entrepreneurs are
born and not
made”?
o The creation or extraction of
economic value is referred to as
entrepreneurship. According to this
definition, entrepreneurship is seen
as transformation that typically
involves greater risk than is typical
when beginning a business and
may also involve values other than
just financial ones.
o An entrepreneur is a
person who seeks a
profitable opportunity
and takes the necessary
risks to set up and
operate a business.
❖ Differ from many small-
business owners in their
strong desire to make their
business grow.
oSerial Entrepreneurs
oSocial Entrepreneurs
Classic entrepreneurs are risk-
takers who start their own
companies based on innovative
ideas. Some classic
entrepreneurs are micropreneurs
who start small and plan to stay
small. They often start businesses
just for personal satisfaction and
the lifestyle.
• A serial entrepreneur is someone who
starts multiple businesses. They may
sell or step back from one business
before starting another, or they may
run multiple businesses
simultaneously, delegating leadership
roles to other people.
• A social entrepreneur is a person
who pursues novel applications
that have the potential to solve
community-based problems.
These individuals are willing to
take on the risk and effort to create
positive changes in society
o Entrepreneurs work to develop
ideas, create and refine products
and services, and grow
companies and industries. They
sometimes, but not always, work
for a family-owned business or for
themselves, but many work within
traditional companies and
organizations.

many entrepreneurs.

choice over when, where, and how to work.
