What is ENTREPRENEURSHIP?

Entrepreneurship is the creation or extraction of economic value. With this definition, entrepreneurship is viewed as change, generally entailing risk beyond what is normally encountered in starting a business, which may include other values than simply economic ones.

Overview

An entrepreneur is defined as a business owner who takes on greater financial risks than usual. Even though small business owners are commonly referred to as entrepreneurs, these two roles are not entirely the same. Small business owners are more conservative, while entrepreneurs thrive on change and innovation.
