TASK 1
P1 Carry out mini research to identify various entrepreneurial ventures
An entrepreneur is the one who makes profit by his/her own business where risks,
initiatives and use of limited resources in various ways that can be taken to pull up the best
outcome of any product or in any services, but it is dangerous too as entrepreneur risks his or her
finance or money by putting all onto the business and if it runs an gets successful than that risk
turns into money a lot of money. Sometimes entrepreneurs do starts with a small scaled business
and then with changes at the right time and in right directions takes there business to a higher
level.
Small Business - This is usually owned by an individual or by family who operates the
business with a small number of working staff and have a diminutive revenue. It hardly effects
on economy. Under 100 member in a company or in an organization can be stated as a small
business and it comes under trading, manufacturing and related to other services like this where
the business holder do expects more profit in a low amount of investment (Desai, 2013).
Scalable Start-up Entrepreneurship - This is a business related to or based on social
media. We do have some examples of scalable entrepreneurship at a large scale as twitter,
Instagram that widely used by the people all around the world. Most of the people are willing to
1

become scalable entrepreneur instead of going for a small business which can in the future
change the world. Some entrepreneur do comes up with innovative ideas with new technology
apps that mostly becomes the eye catching in the whole world in a very short period and
sometimes it doesn't its totally depends on the usability of the app as a social media as
entertainment and for some other purpose.
Social Entrepreneurship - Social entrepreneurship is what in which most of the people
are looking forward into change the world by there innovative ideas and resolving social needs
by finding the right people and exact things what they need which is bringing up a great change
and under this entrepreneurs do focuses on improving the things In whole world. Here are some
examples where social entrepreneurs are working but for no profit as Hamlet foods which
produces meat related products and sell them or provide them to the people under poverty line
(Drucker, 2014).
Women Entrepreneurship - Women entrepreneurship is can defined as woman who
takes initiative, organizes and runs the business with innovative ideas can be stated as women
entrepreneur. In today's world we do have a lot of examples where a woman came up with new
ideas and running businesses in a successful manner as “Alex Brownsell” a founder of Bleach
London, “Sharmadaen Reid” founder of Wah Nails and “Melanie Goldsmith” co founder of
Smith and Sinclair.
Male Entrepreneurship - A question that asked all around the world that Is men is a
better entrepreneur than the women? and 90% of the people do answers as “yes” without even if
they don't say so. Well this is wrong in both the genders they do have same equality do handle a
business with perfections but in some countries women don't get supported by the people around
them to take an initiative and run a business where a man easily does get supported easily but the
world is changing and women are coming up with unique ideas to become a successful
entrepreneur (Fayolle, 2013).
