1.1 Concept of Entrepreneur

According to Cantillon “ an Entrepreneur is the agent who buys factors of production at certain

prices in order to combine them into a product with a view to selling it at an uncertain prices in

the future’’

Jayanth Sir Explanation: Here the author Cantillon was an Irish-French economist and author

of Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en Général (Essay on the Nature of Trade in General)

explains the concept of Entrepreneur as an agent, Agent is a person who acts as a mediator

between people and business and entrepreneur in general sense is nothing but an agent who

purchases the factors of production i.e. Land Capital, Labor, Equipment at a certain price and

using these factors of production he prepares a product or renders a service at an uncertain

price in the future, (Uncertain Price) please as a reader question yourself why is the word

uncertain used , Uncertain is anything uncontrollable in the future example nobody knew that

the World’s Demand for Masks and PPE Kits would increase because of COVID-19. Now this is

uncertain because everyone is using Masks, Sanitizers and PPE Kits, as and when the demand

grows for a particular product grows new entrepreneurs enter the Society.

Dear Students please understand the meaning of every word to look inside the author’s mind and

view point and understand the subject for knowledge sake and not for just marks. After

discussing the Concept and Definition of Entrepreneurship it is time to understand the meaning

of entrepreneur.

Meaning

An entrepreneur is a person who recognizes an opportunity, raises the resources required to

exploit that opportunity and assumes the risk associated with executing the plans. An

Entrepreneur therefore can also be termed as an individual or a group of people who tries to

create something new, who organizes production and undertakes risks involved in the

establishment and operation in the business enterprise.

entrepreneur Mr. Mustafa and his friends who started ID Company , with selling the Dose and

Characteristics of Entrepreneurship

Characteristics of an Entrepreneur (Qualities of a successful) Entrepreneur).

Successful entrepreneur possesses a combination of traits that show both innovation and leadership qualities. Scholars from around the world have worked tirelessly to discover just what characteristics make a good entrepreneur; what exactly makes up a business founder's x-factor?

Great entrepreneurs have the following traits:

Ambition

A good entrepreneur is driven to make something of him. He knows what he wants, and he sets a course to get it. His motivation to achieve something can sometimes be overwhelming, and the urge to establish himself can be quite consuming. An entrepreneur's ambition is often the key ingredient that gets him off of his chair and puts him into action, turning his daydreams into reality_. Example : JIO by Reliance Digital is an Ambitious project which took down the other players in the market_

Enthusiasm

Often coming hand-in-hand with ambition, enthusiasm plays a great role in the entrepreneur's motivation. While ambition may be the key to the entrepreneur's ignition, enthusiasm is the gas. Every successful entrepreneur has a positive outlook giving him the energy to pursue his endeavors. Without enthusiasm, an entrepreneurial project will slowly wither into inactivity and failure. Example: BOUNCE is an App for local motor vehicle commute which faced problems life petrol theft, helmet theft and vehicles being damaged etc but the entrepreneur never gave up.

Creativity

When problems do arise, you can count on creativity to bail you out. Creativity is probably what led you to envision your company in the first place, and it'll be creativity that will help you realize the possible solutions to any hitches that might come your way. Successful entrepreneurs find inspiration throughout the entire process, and often discover ways to turn roadblocks into opportunities.

Example : No better example of that than Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Computers, which came out with some of the most innovative products and inspired future innovations in computing and mobile technology.

Perseverance

The ability to withstand the troubles that come with starting a business. Beginning a new enterprise is an immensely difficult task, and as an entrepreneur, you'll have to stick through the storms and stress if you want your venture to be a success. It sometimes takes years for a good idea to start making you money, but when it does, you'll be glad you stood strong in the face of adversity.

Example: Walt Disney set up a small animation business and released several cartoon series, such as Laugh-O-Grams and Alice in Cartoon land. However, it did not last long, as they had to declare bankruptcy when the studio was not able to repay all its debts. He took this as his cue to move to Hollywood with his brother, and they set up the Disney Brothers’ Studio. They had a met a few snags at first, but it wasn’t until Walt created “Mickey Mouse” that everything took off.

Initiation:

Given the Demand of the situation the entrepreneur takes initiatives to start an industry and take necessary steps accordingly. As the quote goes Well begun is half done, in the same manner to initiate a business, to start a project, to begin a product is a mindset that an entrepreneur commands.

Watch Dog

Entrepreneurs are watch dog i.e. they wait for the right business opportunities and take necessary accordingly.

Example: During Demonetization lot of people saw this as an business opportunity and launched an app to stand in queue in front of banks on behalf of others. Although it looks strange as an example but definitely a opportunity to explore. During COVID-19 Pandemic although lots of lives are in danger and everyone are in need of Sanitizers, Masks and PPE Kits. Today, more than 600 companies in India are certified to produce PPEs, whose global market worth is expected to be over $92.5 billion by 2025, up from $52.7 billion in 2019. 60 days since Lockdown, 56-fold growth: India now second largest PPE manufacturer in the world is an inspiring example.

Information Seeker

He is ready to learn from the experience of others and enriches his business information to help him reach the goal.

Example: Entrepreneurs working in the field of Stocks and Shares are always information seekers; they seek information from various sources to make profit. True entrepreneur is a

MUMBAI ‘S DABBA WALA

Dabawala was started in 1890 by one Mr. Mahadeo Havaji Bachche. He was once asked by a Parsi working in the Britisher’s rank, “Will you bring my tiffin from my home?” He simply answered “Yes, I will, no problem.” From that day onwards, he started to collect tiffins from homes and delivering them to the respective workplaces. In 1890, there was one dabbawala and one customer, and now, there are 5000 dabbawalas and 200,000 customers, which means, one dabbawala carries approximately 40 Tiffins. The maximum weight comes to 65-70kg; carrying that much weight in the crowded local trains is a lot of hard work. Why do they do it then? Work is worship. And, as far as qualification is concerned, you will see that the average literacy rate is 8th grade schooling; which means the dabbawalas are illiterate and yet they have managed to achieve a Six Sigma quality rating, which means only one wrong service in a 6 million deliveries. So please understand that in order to be efficient and produce great quality literacy isn’t the only criteria!

Proper Planner

Frames realistic business plans and follows them rigorously to achieve the objectives. Plan is not just an action to be made as a blueprint. It involves various experience , foresight of the future needs and a target.

Self Confident

Strong believer in his strengths and weaknesses. Future is uncertain, so is life, so is entrepreneurship, it is vast sea where, entrepreneurs sail the lone voyage overcoming the tempest to reach the destination of profit. In order to overcome difficulties an entrepreneur has to be extremely confident in his work, his ideas and path chosen.

Confidence and crazy passion towards his goals ELON MUSK is a classic example of Entrepreneurship.

Tesla Cars, SpaceX First ever private rocket making company , Solarcity, Boring Company and its tunnel ideas and lastly the dream to travel to mars and make it Habitable.

Assertiveness

Able to assert his issues, whatsoever these might be, in the interest of his enterprise.

  • Entrepreneurs know the business on a macro scale. Intrapreneurs are highly skilled and specialized.

  • Innovative entrepreneurs also find new ways to market their products by choosing product differentiation strategies that make their company stand out from the crowd. And sometimes it is not just standing out from the crowd but actually creating a new crowd.
