MAIN BODY
Background of entrepreneur
James Dyson is a British inventor and the founder of Dyson Ltd and also the inventor of
the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner which is based on the working of a cyclonic
separation. Dyson was born in 1947 2 May at Cromer in Norfolk. His education took place at
Gresham’s school and was good in long distance running (Machmud and Sidharta, 2016). Also,
he spent one year at the Byam Shaw school of art and then went for studying furniture and
interior designing before going in the field of engineering.
In the year 1978, Dyson by looking at the vacuum cleaner and its reducing performance
and became frustrated. With the analysis of the problem Dyson came to know that the problem
was that the bag of the cleaner was clogged with the dust and garbage and this caused
performance to reduce (Yitshaki and Kropp, 2018). Thus, to overcome this problem Dyson tried
many research and development and, in the end, came up with bagless vacuum cleaner. These
were made using the industrial cyclone tower which separated paint particles from the air with
the help of centrifugal force.
In the current work environment, the products of Dyson Ltd are used in around more than
65 countries all over the globe. Further Dyson thinks that the engineers are the problem solver
and because of this the Dyson is very motivated and passionate towards encouraging people to
pursue science and engineering (Meet James Dyson, 2019). For this Dyson also runs a charitable
establishment which works in support of the student and help them in pursuing their dreams.
Also, Dyson is the chairman of its company which deals in more than 60 consumer products and
also generated around $5.8 billion sales in the year 2018.
