The process of setting up a business is known as entrepreneurship! The entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator, a | source of new ideas, 00d, services, and business/or procedures. i { : 1.4 MEANING: ‘The word “entrepreneur” is derived from the French verb entrepreneur, which rcuns ‘to undertake’. This refers to those who “undertake” the risk of new enterprises. An enterprise is created by an entrepreneur. The process of creation is called “entrepreneurship”, An entrepreneur is one who innovates, raises. money, assembles inputs, chooses managers and sets the organisation going with his ability to identify them. Innovation occurs through: (2) The introduction of a new quality product, (b) Anew product, (c) A discovery of a fresh demand and a fresh source of supply, and (@) By changes in the organisation and management. ' Schumpeter’s entrepreneur only exists if the factors of production are combined for the first time. To him, maintenance of a combination is not entrepreneurial activity. As such, he differs § from the theory of Rent enunciated by Ricardo, Ricardo included the term “entrepreneurial ! ability” as an independent factor of production. To Ricardo, profit is the reward for @ entrepreneurial ability. " An entrepreneur performs one or more of the following: ‘ (i) Perceives opportunities for profitable investments, (ii) Explores the prospects of starting a manufacturing enterprise, Gi) Obtains anc dasa ons cial (©) Provides pomsnal guarantees to the financial isiition, (09) Promises to moet the shortfalls in the capital, and Dap (vid supplies tectnial Know-how. Tn actual practice the term “entrepreneur” ig attributed to all small industrialists, small ‘businessmen, and traders. All people who are gainfully engaged in work of manufacturing, distribution or service and other sectors are called entrepreneurs. Entrepreneur - Concept Entrepreacur refers to individuals who were ‘undertakers’, mesaing those who “undertook” In several literature reviews, it bas been observed that as carly as in the sixteenth century the Frenchmen who st 10 organise and lead military expositions were refered fo a entrepreneurs. In the early 18th century French economist Richard Cantillon used the term entrepreneur to business. Entrepreocur was a dealer who purchases the means of production for combining them into markets prodocs. Since then, the word entrepreneur refers o one who fakes the tisk of starting a new organisation or introducing a new ides, product or service. Enueprecr isthe most important factor in the process of economic development. He ‘occupies the central place in the growth process because he initiates development in-a society ‘and carries it forward. As a change agent, the entrepreneur is the first and foremost a catalyst for ions ‘The function that is specific to entrepreneur is the ability to take the factors of production— land, Isier sad ps and ese them to produce new goods of services.

The entrepreneurial vision is deficed by discovery and risk-taking and is an. indispensable part of a nation’s capacity to succeed in an ever-changing and more competitive slobal marketplace. Definition: Exrepreneurship iefers 10 the process of creating 3 new eerie and beating any of is risks, with the view of making the profit It is an act of seeking investment and production opportunity, developing and managing a business venture, so as to undertake ° SUA asta prexliction fiction, arranging inputs like land, labour, material and capita, introducing new techniques and products, identifying new sources forthe enterprise. Conceptual Mode! of Entrepreneurship The person who creates 2 new enterprise and embraces every challenge for its development and operation is known as an entrepreneur. And the undertaking or organisation, typically a start- ‘up company, set up by the entrepreneur is called enterprise. The very existence of the term entrepreneurship differentiates it from the at of business, While business, as we know it is at its core the buying and selling of products and services in order to tur a reasonable profit, entrepreneurship goes farther than the common concept of commerce. Entrepreneurship seeks to change the world by discovering opportunities where none previously existed. They convert new inventions into viable products, and provide consumers the means of meeting their needs. 4.2 DEFINITIONS 258% The New Encyclopedia Britannica considers an entrepreneur 2s “an in ‘who bears the risk of operating a business in the face of uncertainty about the future conditions.” Leading. economists of all schools, including Karl Marx have emphasised the contribution of the entrepreneurs to the development of economies, but Joseph Schumpeter. who argues that the rate of growth in an economy depends to a great extent on the activities of entrepreneurs, has probably put greater emphasis on the entrepreneurial functioa than any other economist. AAs Professor Jan Tinbergen points out ~ “The best entreprencur in any developing country is not necessarily the man who uses much capita, but rather the man who Inows how to organise the employment and training of his employees. Whoever concentrates on this is rendering a ‘much more important Service to his country than the man who uses huge capita. ‘Adam Smith, the father of classical economics, did not use the term entrepreneur anywhere. Instead, he used the words like employer, the merchant, the undertaker and the maser. Alfred Marshall wrote about the capitalists and management but he was silent about their difference. As such, the classical economists ignored the term entrepreneur entirely. According 10 A. P. Usher, “Specialisation or division of labour necessitates an centreprencurial function the crux of which is to coordinate different economic activities. This SASS.

Knighs 19 Ss anicle on Risk, Uncertainty and Profit propounded the maxim that “entrepreneur is 2 spec alised group of persons who bear risks and deal ith uncertamty.” He also identified social, psychological and ceonomic factors which gover the supply of entrepreneurship According to David Ricardo, a contemporary of J. B. Say, “The foremost motive of a risk taker isto mass capa! and capital accumulation isthe sine gua nea of economic development.” Joseph A. Schumpeter thus writes — “The entrepreneur in an advanced economy is an individual who introduces something new in the escoemy — a method of production not yet tested by experience in the branch of manufacture concemed, a provuct with which consumers are not yet familis, anew source of raw material or of new markets and the like.” Hee further states the entrepreneur's fumetion is to “reform or revolutionise the pattern of ‘production by exploiting an invention or more generally, an untried technological possibility for producing a new commodity..." 4,3 EVOLUTION OF ENTREPRENEUR 2020 will bs remenibered 2s one of the most remarkable years in human history for a host of reasons, least of which is how the state of our economy, and need to work from home, ha thrust usall to appreciss wht means to be online erre one «ime that many’ are exploring stating a business of their ow Never before has the landscape of our workforce changed so dramatically while circumstances ave millions considering entrepreneumbip. That made me curious about the evolution ofthat word, entrepreneur. That made us consider what more we can do to help. ‘+ 1734. Insh-French economist and author Richard Cantilion penned Essai (Essay on the [Natur of Trade in General), considered the frst complete formal work on the subject of economics. In Esssi, Cantillon explored the early economics idea of cause and effect, considered monetary theories, and identified the enteprencur as a risk-bearer. “Entreprencurs are non-fixed income eamers who pay known costs of production but eam uncertain incomes.” Cantillon divided society into two principal classes — fixed income wage-camers and noo-fixed income eamers; nd while it's considered that Jean Baptiste Say coined the word “entrepreneur,” it's 1803. Say, a favourite study of mine, studied Cantillon and Adam Smith, and noted thatthe entreprencur is distinct in being the person who unites all means of production to wacover new opportunitics, “By selling ‘the product in the market he pays rent of land, wages to labour, intrest on capital and ‘what remains is his profit.” The entrepreneur shifs economic resources out ofan arca of lower and into areas of higher productivity and greater yield ‘+ Early 1900s, Nikola Tesla introduced the notion of a “world, wireless system” and visionary thinkers such as Paul Otlet and Vannevar Bush conceived of mecnannes ane mesie ~ in the 1930s and 1940s, This, of PATS: 2 course, ave rise (0 the internet on which we all find ourselves today and is ne + ‘ur history of entrepreneurs as this technology has enabled everyone, everywhere 1934, Joseph Schumpeter helped establish that entreprencurs disrupt, leading us. notion popular today of disruption.

David McClelland is credited with developing Ac niovement Mecwacion Toes, commonly referred to as “need for achievement” or ~achievement theory. He hin an energetic and a moderate risk taker, claimed that motivation is “a recurrent cence: for a goal state or condition as measured in fantasy, which drives, directs and selects behaviour of the individual”. He focused on three particular motives: the need fx3 achievement (N-Ach); the need for affiliation (N-AfM; andthe need for power (N-Pos\z [N-Ach isthe desire to excel in relation to a set of standards.

T OF ENTREPRENEURS: > & REY Depending upon the level of willingness to create innovative ideas, there can be the following types of entrepreneurs: “A: Innovative entrepreneurs: These entrepreneurs have the ability to think newer, beter and more economical ideas of business organisation and management. They are the business Teaders and contributors to the economic development of a country.

Tis article will tke you through the efintion, pes, and examples of Socal Entrepreneurship. Socis! Entrepreneurship is when an individual or a group of people take up the responsibilty to sole the prevailing problems of society. It could bea low-key afar or a large-scale drive that involves the masses.

They are changing the world in fleet ways every day. If we lock sround, we'll find several examples of social cctnepreceuhip that have affected monumental change + A social entrepreneur refers to en individval who pursues novel ideas with the potential to solve or alleviate certain community-oriented problems. + Social enuepreneurs often are willing to take the risks associted with their venture to help address enabling postive change in society + Social etrepreneus often need to make sure tht their ideas are easily understandable, twierfriendly and that they are able to receive vast support fiom other people who will ‘join nthe venture Social entrepreneurship is a term that is used to describe the activities of individuals or organisations who identify and solve social problems. Unlike traditional businesses, which are primarily motivated by profit, social entrepreneurs are driven by a desire to make a postive impact on society. There are many different ways in which social entrepreneurs can operate, but all share a common commitment to improving the lives of others. One of the most famous examples of social entrepreneurship is Muhammad Yunus, the Bangladeshi economist who founded the Grameen Bank. The Grameen Bank provides small loans to impoverished entrepreneurs in developing countries, helping them to stat or expand their businesses. To date, the bank has provided over $10 billion in loans and helped millions of people escape poverty. Characteristics of Social Entrepreneurs Social entrepreneurs certainly dfer when it comes to individual personalities; however they also share similar characteristics necessary for success as pragmatic individuals willing to undertake significant risks and uncerainties to achieve positive changes in areas that might be resistant to new ideas or approaches. Social entrepreneurs firstly néed to posses a strong passion that drives their desire to see their ideas and initiatives come to fruition, while also adopting a healthy impatience that tes in ‘with their uncomfortableness with sting bac to wait for change to happen. They also need to come up with practical but innovative ideas to social isues and often use mazket forces and principles. It allows them to break away from constrains imposed by the traditions and customs ‘within the fields of certain disciplines to take risks that hers are afraid of taking. Despite being hopeful of their sucess and ability o change the minds of others, social entrepreneurs ae often able to moniter their own impact and degree of success and set high standards for themselves and ther organisations in respoase to the communities with which they engage. They constantly review their percrmance using contimous feedback, both quantitative and qualitative, to guide thei improvement. 1, Ambitious: Social entrepreneurs often tackle major social issues anid often strive to improve the lives of cern disadvantaged groups within society. They operate in all kinds of, organisations from non-profit organisation, caries, ventures ~ such as for-profit community development banks and organisations tht mix elements of tc: promt and for-profit organisations. 2. Missiondriven: Socal entreprencurs often focus on generating social value and focus less on profits and revenue. When profits are generated, they are put back into supporting the socal rission of the organization. While profit is an important objective of the organsatioa, the money isused towards furthering the socal cause and objecive. 3, Strategie: Social entreprencurs are adept at observing what others might miss. They identify opportunities to, improve systems. to create new solutions and approaches to create societal value and make a postive change in society. Social eitepreDetis Heéd to be extremely ‘determined and conscientious in order tobe relentless in thee pursuit of the socal objective. 4. Resourceful: Social entrepreneurs often lack the strong world of access to capital and market support systems due to thei rather than profit generation for shareholders and other stakeholders. They need to be skilled at persuading others to agree with thie ideas and support their ambitions through figancal, political, and other means. 5. Result-oriented: Socal ctreprencus focus onthe ced results, which transform existing realities, open up new pathways for the marginalised and disadvantaged, and unlock society's potential to effect socal change. Types of Social Entrepreneurship ‘There ae the diferent types of social entrepreneurship. Various types of social entrepreneurship: Here we'll look into four types of socal centeprencurship. 1. Community Social Entrepreneur: Community social entepreneus are small-scale hangemakersA community social entepreneur can be a young individual iaehiig _Seespivieges kids in 2 town, a group of college students running sanitation and plantation drives in city oF one or more organisations working fr socal god Commmanity veil entrepreneurs work in specific geographies ard communities but for 2 wide variety of eaues From hygiene and saittion to employment and fod distribution services 22 from plantation snd ervtonment safety to providing employment o deserving ons, they do ital These types of socal sore 2. Now-Proft Social Entrepreneur: These social entrepreneurs believe in reinvesting ofits. So, along wih the tal eos, they pt their profits ino the cause. For instance, if he initial project was to educate kids from underprivileged backgrounds and they received more funds than requted to facilitate the intative, they will use the surplus to edacate wornen and expand zit portfolio, People who have 2 bsines-oriented mindset prefer this typeof socal entrepreneurship. Not jst hat, but companies end organisations chose non-profit socal entrepreneurship to utilise their sacl gooduil forthe cause : 3. Transformational Social Entrepreneur: These enrepreneus focus on estab business that can solve a purpose that government natives and oher businesses can't. “Transformation vacileneepreneurship is more like ansng an organisation where you hire skied people, think of newer ways to stay relevant inthe marke, follow he guidelines issued by ‘goverments and do everything that an enterprise does-—~ ‘The larger picture for vonsformational socal entrepreneurs includes a collabourative set-up of muhiple businesses serving society colleaively and individually. 4 Global Social Entrepreneur: Global socal entrepreneur thnk ona lgger scale and focus _ pr betes se Te retest a ‘They usually collabourate with organisations working on similar causes in specifi regjons/eountries. One ofthe mos relevant examples of this ype of social entrepreneurship isthe repreneurs ate tbe ones who bring about instant change and strive for SSUES NES Make A Wish Foundation, Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, it actively works in aroun» countries, fulfiling the wishes of critically ill children. 5, Strong Ethical Impetus: Highly-successful Social entrepreneurs aren't fuelled by a as, to become famous or build a fortune, but a desire to restore justice in society, to address sac ‘problems, And this motivation comes down to a clear sense of what is right and what is oxy ‘This “ethical impetus” isnot only evident inthe work of successful social entrepreneurs but, in how they live their lives. 6. Willingness to Cross Disciplinary Boundaries: Highly successful social entreprenex not only escape established structures, they also combine thinking and resources from difey Aisciplines to achieve their intended goal. “Indeed,” explains Bornstein, “one of the pines functions of the social entrepreneur is to serve asa kind of social alchemist: to create new soca compounds; to gather people's ideas, experiences, skis, and resources in configurations tha society isnot naturally aligned to produce”. Examples of Social Entrepreneurship ere are some great examples of social entreprencurs who have brought about tremendou change in Indi Anshu Gupta, Founder of Goonj: Anshu, a media professional, wanted to provide prope clothing to the underprivileged. He started collecting olé clothes to wpeyele them and distribu, them among the poor.

In 2010, she founded Yoga Sb a yoga studio and retreat Center in Aruba. ‘Since then, she has expanded her brand to include an online store, teacher tits programmes, and a popular blog and Instagram account. While her business is for-profit, Brit donates a portion of her profits to charity each year. EE tn sition to her philanthropic work, she is also an outspoken advocate for environmental and sustainability. Asa resolt of her success in social entrepreneurship Brathen has been featured in numerous publications. including Forbes, Time, and Fast Company These were just a few well-known examples of social entrepreneurship in India Not all tain the same levels of popularity, but they still have considerable impact oa society. These examples prove that you doa't need a dezree to be a social entrepreneur. An idea and the dive to see it through are what make you a socal enteprencur. Social entrepreneurship is an incredibly powerfUl tol for tackling today’s pressing social ‘needs, and we're only just witnessing the beginning of what social businesses can offer. Its upto the ising generation io explore their full potential and build social enterprises with power, scope, and breadth and reach of the Googles and Facebooks of today. In a quest to find out what makes a social entrepreneur, thirty-one social entrepreneurs ‘working in Boston, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles were interviewed. These ‘entrepreneurs were the kind of people that made headlines.
