implements for companies’ revenue and directly-indirectly contributes to improve social
economy growth. They always work for region, state, community, country and for a specific area
of people. They help to make some changes like-

6

use of these new technological products, an individual need to increase their level of thinking
and also have to improve their skills and ability according to new era (Bruton, Ahlstrom and Li,
2010). At this time all the small and large scale business start to selling their products through
internet or other new aspects so for customer should have to know about this terms and its uses
and benefits.
Provide Employment services- Now a day, everyone wants a great opportunity for their
job and to work under others but if an individual become an entrepreneur, then there will be one
less job seeker person in the crowd and they can provide job opportunities to other. Government
of a country also wants to reduce unemployment from economy and to improve social lives. So
for these they also promote and support new start-ups and small businesses.

opportunities to a single person but also helps to increase economy development. Some business
entities work for social issues like provide batter roads, electricity and water supply, developed
schools and hospitals and other public services for welfare (Bruton, Ahlstrom and Li, 2010).
These types of organisations directly or indirectly serve for growth of economy and social life
and helping other who needed. If a new idea is established for provide services and products for
backward areas, this thinks will be one of the biggest achievement for an administrator and for
public too.
Helps to improve Standard of living- Improve and develop living of standard of a
community and public is also a key of social and economic growth. The think to provide job and
products is not a factor of economy development but adopting new techniques and aware them
about its benefits and uses and through this how can they improve their thinking, living of
standard and also stand with new era is the think of evaluation and build up their standard. In this
process they also motivate and inspire them to take educational and learning facility by advance
technology and other sources.

consumers and fulfil their demands and needs. Businessperson is one who work for others to
give satisfaction and make a positive goodwill of its entity in market. For this term first of all
they have to explore market and get an information about customers need and at where services
and products are not distributing according to its requirement (Bruton, Ahlstrom and Li, 2010).
