Techno 1 notes
one who shifts economic resources out of an area of lower
productivity and into an area of higher productivity
and greater yield
. An entrepreneur always searches for
change, responds to it, and exploits it as an
opportunity.
An entrepreneur is, therefore, one who creates an organization as away of offering something new to the market.
Someone who sees a need and brings together the
human resources, materials and capital (means of production) required to create
a productive organism in order to meet that need.

What is Entrepreneurship? Over the 19th century, British Economists, such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo and John Stuart Mills briefly touched on the concept of entrepreneurship but referred to it under the broad English term of Business Management


Technoprenuership1 2 Peter Kilby (1983) defined entrepreneurship as a large and important animal, which has been hunted by many individuals using various ingenious trapping devices. All who claim to have caught sight of him report that he is enormous, but they disagree on his particularities. Not having explored his current habitat with sufficient care, some hunters have used as bait their own favourite dishes and have then tried to persuade people that what they caught was a Heffalump. However, very few are convinced, and the search goes on Professor Jeffrey A. Timmons defines entrepreneurship as “
a human, creative act
that builds something of value from practically nothing. It is the pursuit of
opportunity regardless of the resources, or lack of resources, at hand. It requires
a vision the passion and commitment to lead others in the pursuit of that
vision.
It also requires a willingness to take calculated risks Whereas management involves the ongoing coordination of the production process, entrepreneurship is a discontinuous phenomenon, appearing to initiate changes in the production process and then disappearing until it reappears to initiate another change.
