An entrepreneur is an individual who leads to the new corporate, dealing with maximum of
the risk and enjoy maximum rewards in the economy. The entrepreneur is normally found as
an innovator, who brings the new thoughts for the products and services or for any kind of
procedures. In the views of economist, Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1883-1950) entrepreneurs
are not required to encourage by revenue but regard it as the standard for evaluating
achievement or accomplishment (Masurel and Masurel, 2019). Schumpeter also discovered in
there research that entrepreneur are equipped with some skills which include: -
 Greatly value with the self-reliance

In the dynamic environment, the entrepreneurs are the one who perform the vital role in the
economy by making the effective utilization of the initiative as well as skills that are required

other. The person who works as entrepreneur is one who has uppermost stakes at venture that
means that requirements to be authorized to completely straight the attempt. It can be said
that entrepreneur is a person who operate as well as organise the corporate or different
industries taking the higher than the normal financial risks in order to change the impression
into reality (Matlay, Rae, Audet and Couteret, 2012).
In addition, this has been said by many economists that entrepreneur is a person who begins
with the new business venture. While, on the other hand it has been found that every
entrepreneurs is small business owner but on the same side not every small business owner is
considered as an entrepreneur (Kaptein, 2019). The person who has the talent for seeing
occasions with all the skills to form those opportunities into profit-making businesses is

loss that makes the entrepreneurs to effort the efficient constantly as well as discovery reveal
knowledge (Matlay, Rae, Audet and Couteret, 2012). Entrepreneurs open their firms through
which they found that lead to the rise in the competition among the market which leads to the
rise in the research and development opportunity for the different companies in the market. It
has been found in the end an entrepreneur is one who grab the opportunity in the market but
in the eyes of different economist they are the one who contribute effectively within the
economy.
