• Entrepreneur seem to be the starters and managers the followers– Initially, entrepreneurs also assume the
role of manager, but later the managerial roles are delegated to the managers.
• Managers do not start businesses, they only manage them.

given the task of starting new ventures.

Definition of Entrepreneurship
“ Entrepreneurship is the ability to create and build a vision from practically nothing. Fundamentally, it is a human, creative act. It is the application of energy to
initiating and building an enterprise or organization, rather than just watching or analyzing. This vision requires a
willingness to take calculated risks – both personal and financial, and then to do everything possible to reduce the
chances of failure.
Entrepreneurship also includes the ability to build an entrepreneurial or venture team to complement your (the
entrepreneur) own skills and talents. It is the knack for sensing an opportunity where others see chaos,
contradiction, and confusion. It is possessing the know-how to find, marshal and control resources, often owned
by others.” Professor Jeffrey Timmons (1990)

Entrepreneur Are Made and Not Born
“The entrepreneurial mystique? It’s not magic, it’s not mysterious and it
has nothing to do with the genes. It is a discipline. And like any discipline, it can be
learned.” …Peter
