ANALYSIS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP1
Introduction
Entrepreneurship can be defined as the method that is used to design, launch and run a
new business that is mainly a small in size. The individuals who are responsible for creation of
these businesses are mainly called entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship typically focusses on the start
of new business operations that can also involve huge levels of risks related to failure in the
particular industry. An entrepreneur has the ability to recognize commercial potential of a
particular invention and can also organize the available capital, resources and talent that are
available for them (Guan et al. 2017). The report will be mainly based on the traditional and
effectuation based understanding of entrepreneurship and the five major principles of
effectuation as well.
Differences between ‘traditional’ and the ‘effectuation’ understanding of entrepreneurship
The traditional entrepreneur is mainly considered to be the one who is able to undertake
the control, can coordinate and also assume the risks that are related to the operations of a
business organization within the competitive marketplace. The entrepreneurs possess similar
features that are required to be versatile in the ways by which they face challenges related to the
dynamic environment. The entrepreneurs who are a part of the current business environment
depict similar types of characteristics that are related to dynamic nature of the business
operations (Marvel, Davis and Sproul 2016). The entrepreneurs are considered to be innovators
and developers of the ideas as well. An entrepreneur is also a major agent of the changes that are
implemented within the modern business environment. Traditional entrepreneurship is able to
change the society by tackling the major social problems that are faced by the organizations.
Social entrepreneurship is also a major part of the traditional entrepreneurship process that is
implemented in order to develop the start-up businesses (McMullen 2019).

that can be considered to be inherently unpredictable. The three major aspects that are related to
the process of effectuation that include ideas, stakeholder commitments and the decisions
(Effectuation.org 2020). Effectuation advances the ideas towards different sellable services and
products with the proven customers. Stakeholder commitments are based on the processes of
interaction that the entrepreneurs implement in order to select the partners. The decisions are
mainly taken by the entrepreneurs with the help of different techniques which can serve as
foundation for the entire process (Effectuation.org 2020).
Description of five principles of effectuation and their importance
The expert entrepreneurs have played a major role in development of the interesting
ventures that are developed in a space where the future is considered to be unknown. The
entrepreneurs are also able to shape the unpredictable future in an effective manner with the
expertise that they have gained (Rawhouser, Cummings and Newbert 2019). The five major
principles of effectuation of entrepreneurship are as follows,
 Bird-in-hand – The entrepreneurs start the operations of their businesses with the
implementation of their own capital and resources. The major importance of this
principle is mainly based on the resources and the levels of capital that can be
invested by the entrepreneur at the start of business operations in a particular
industry (Sarasvathy 2001).
