Overview
The role of entrepreneurs in economic development varies from
economy to economy, country to country, depending upon its material
resources, industrial climate and more importantly, the responsiveness of the
political system to the growth of entrepreneurs. Liberalization and the new
economic policy has thrown upon the doors for every entrepreneur to seek its
own fortunes and thus contribute to the growth of the economy.
Entrepreneurship is an important input of economic development. He is
a catalyst of development. They are the prime movers of industrial
development in a country. Entrepreneur are found in every economic system
and in every type of economic activity. Artisans, traders, importers, engineers,
exporters, bankers, industrialists, farmers, forest workers, tribal,
professionals, politicians, and bureaucrats, any one from these could be
entrepreneur. The nature of entrepreneurs differs according to their functions.

History of Entrepreneurship
12,000 years ago- first big shift in entrepreneurship took place during the
Agricultural Revolution
Humans started to domesticate plants and animals and remain stationary in one location
and farm the land.
Villages and towns started developing close to fertile lands.
By specializing in different professions, members of the community could trade valuable
goods for food.
o hunting and gathering, fishing, cooking, tool-making, shelter-
building, clothes-making (area of specialization)
Farmers sell food at market to a clothes-maker so that they no longer needed to
make their own clothes.
Different social institutions arose around these permanent structures, including
religious centers, courts, and marketplaces.
o pottery, carpentry, wool-making, masonry- new areas of
specialization as time went on
Between the Agricultural Revolution and 2000 BCE- cities started to appear
The right international trade route could make an entrepreneur very wealthy.
o Trading salt from Africa across the Roman Empire
o Trading technologies like Chinese paper-making around the world
o Trading rice from China across Asia
o Trading coffee, lemons, and oranges from Arabia into Europe
o Trading complex ideas like the Arabic number system into Europe (this
occurred in the year 1200 by Italian trader named Leonardo Fibonacci).
o Trading gunpowder (a combination of carbon, sulphur, and potassium
nitrate) from China to other parts of the world
Trade routes were about more than just raw resources and goods. They were
also about ideas and technologies. In this way, entrepreneurs were responsible for
spreading ideas around the world
Entrepreneurship and the Invention of Money
Many people see the last 200 years of entrepreneurship as being fueled by
“machines and markets”.
Adam Smith’s work- “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of
Nations”, where he destroyed the idea of mercantilism.
whole.
o Robert L. Heilbroner explains this theory in The Worldly Philosophers:
“A man who permits his self-interest to run away with him will find that
competitors have slipped in to take his trade away; if he charges too
much for his wares or if he refuses to pay as much as everybody else
for his workers, he will find himself without buyers in the one case and
without employees in the other.”
18th century- Entrepreneurship moved from small-scale production in small towns to large-
scale production in big cities.
Powerful market forces would give rise to some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs
and innovators.
America played a particularly prominent role during this period, giving rise to
entrepreneurs like Andrew Carnegie, J. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Frank
Kenan and Henry Ford.
The economy was increasingly global and becoming more global every decade.
Better means of shipping and communication made it easy for entrepreneurs to sell products
and services to a global audience.
Massive economies like America could no longer afford to concentrate solely on selling
products to American marketplaces.
In America, car ownership made it more important to have highways between major
cities. As highways became more important, restaurants were needed where people
could eat while traveling.
Ray Kroc created a standardized restaurant that cut down on costs by serving a
limited number of men items. Then, he replicated that model.
General Electric, aircraft companies like Lockheed, IBM, and Holiday Inns- companies
that prospered during this period.
Japan- became one of the world’s largest economies by exploiting a large
population available for cheap wages.
Germany- experienced a similar trajectory.
