Fundamentals of
Entrepreneurship

Challenges typically faced by entrepreneurs
The desired interest in the entrepreneurship has effectively refaced throughout the past
decades. The entrepreneurship is defined as the group of the individuals, or any particular
individual comes up with a business idea which is technology-driven, business-model-driven,
values drive etc. It has been evaluated that there are various challenge’s that are effectively
faced by the entrepreneurs. To enhance the execution of the business processes, it becomes
important for the entrepreneurs to reduce the challenges so the efficiency and effectiveness
throughout the concerned work processes can be effective enhanced. Few of the challenges
related with the social entrepreneurship are measuring that value of the firm, execution in the
role as well as a donation of the concerned government and challenges in the execution of the
role of the volunteers. The measuring of the values within the Social ventures is considered to be
one of the difficult tasks (Lukovics, Lengyel and Imreh, 2016). The learnings have critically
provided me knowledge regarding the challenges that are within the social entrepreneurship. The
learnings have provided me with immense knowledge regarding the development of new
strategic overs to execute the concerned business processes.
Moreover, it of great importance to analyses own strengths and weaknesses as it helps in
enhancing the entire work processes but utilizing own skills and finding out the areas in recent
innovations. There are few of the other challenges faced by the entrepreneurs, they are time
management, bringing out the desired innovative idea, delegating tasks, finding out the best
marketing strategy, hiring the employees (Sarasvathy et al., 2014). Therefore, to become a
successful entrepreneur, it is essential to analyze won strengths and capabilities to make the
desired business venture a successful one.

Identification and justification of entrepreneurial opportunities
The learnings critically reflect that there are a number of the opportunities available for a
particular business venture. The identification of crucial ideas is considered as t be the first step
of the entire entrepreneurial process. I have gained a vast amount of knowledge from the
learnings that the opportunity needs to be perceived having a vast amount of potential in it. After
the determination of the business opportunity, it is vital to evaluate that opportunities with the
help of an effective decision-making process. There is a requirement of the depth-analysis of the
landscape of the concerned opportunity.
Moreover, it is of great importance for the concerned entrepreneur to understand the
crucial difference between the markets (buyers) and the industry (sellers), as it will help in
bringing out the desired elevation in the growth and development of the concerned business
procedures for the firm (Kulo, Agbogo and Okudarie, 2018). Moreover, the definition of the
various industry boundaries is important to identify the execution area for the concerned business
processes by the respective entrepreneurs. Moreover, the evaluation of the industry is important
based on four key types of the industries; these are emerging, fragmented, mature and the
declining (McCann and Ortega-Argilés, 2016). I have understood the fact that the effective use
of Porter's five forces is of great importance for determining the present forces across the entire
industry.
Articulation of the key processes towards the successful new-venture creation
To start a new venture there possess some key processes that are needed to be followed
an entrepreneur to have a successful new venture. The first step is an entrepreneurial pitch which
states that while staring with a new business plan it is necessary to translate the idea to the
outside world that arises in the mind of an entrepreneur (Sahut and Peris-Ortiz, 2014). I come to

know that the significance of this process cannot be underestimated as the first impression
collected from the outside people cannot be replaced and erased. It is observed that while taking
this step most of the entrepreneurs fail to establish the idea that presents their concept to execute
the business as they are not adequately prepared. This could be difficult and lead to costly
miscalculation. Thus, I gathered information that entrepreneurial pitch is an effective method to
deliver the critical elements of the business to start a new venture. Another critical process is a
first hook that is required to grab the attention of the listener (Adamu, 2018). I got to know that
this process is essential for impromptu encounters in which a presentation of sales might be
dismissed immediately. Next is the core value proposition process that presents the value
proposition of the venture or product (Okoye, 2017). I gain knowledge that the value proposition
could be unique, immediately understandable and imply a substantial and clear target market. I
also understood that it is essential to have a clear connection with the entrepreneur. Also, the
process call to action facilitates the listener with a clear step through which it could gain interest
in the business.
Explanation of the concept of entrepreneurship and how it has evolved
Entrepreneurship is the process that provides opportunities to individuals without any
resources that are presently controlled by an individual. Also, it is defined as the art of
converting an idea into a business. It is considered to be both complexes as well as the dynamic
process. I understood that the method of entrepreneurship includes building or creating
something that possesses value. It helps in recognising an opportunity, accepting both risk and
uncertainty in the business and planning together for the required resources to establish an
opportunity. It is a matter of the fact that the importance of entrepreneurship where both
individuals and political and economic leaders are focused on entrepreneurship (Aspelin, 2015).
