This is also a type of entrepreneurship with finite life cycles. It involves sustaining
innovation , offering new products that are different from their core product. Its change the
customers taste, launched new technologies, legislation, new competitors, etc. can be pressuring
for disruptive innovations. It requires large companies to make new products sold into the new
consumers in new market. Innovative company is not doing better to the existing company ,it is
tough task for the large company entrepreneurship . It is difficult to existing in competitive
environment for an entrepreneurs so it can not be success of new ventures in a market.

or by total sales within the defined time ,In large business enterprises the size of the company
structure are large then the small business while small business less numbers of worker are
worked because the structure is to short than big and in social business the number of workers.

social enterprises branding the employees ,the employees brand reflects well on the corporate
brand

Business legal structure determines how the enterprises is managed,taxes and whether owner are
liable for business. In small business ,the company start as sole proprietorship or partnership,and
they are only responsible for all operations and complete control over the business and owner is
sole proprietor of business so they pay a taxes for business profit on their personal income tax
returns and are legally liable for business debt.Large companies owners are shareholders and thy

myriad layers management and the generally long standing age of larger, organization, politics
tends to play lesser role , while in small business entrepreneurial it is less than big organization
because it is also a family business and in social entrepreneurial its is work for society so there
less chances for politics(Harley and et.al., 2018).

From the statistics we observed that the micro business which is indicated by the blue
line are less grow than the small business which is shown as red lines. In this interpretation we
can find both businesses are increase from 2008 to till now but micro business is less growth to
the small business. In 2008 both stand at same place but after some period both declined to
there growth. Micro business declined more than small business . Both the business are grow
with the periodically which is shown in this graph and observation. We can find this growth by
this interpretation and analysis that at the present year both are at high pick but micro business is
less achieved than the small business .both business are moved upward but the small business
scale moving upward with the increasing stage while micro business also moving upward but it
is grow with the constant speed .so both are not equally grow small business are more than
achieve there goals than micro. In 2010 both business are at equal stage but in 2011 its can
different to achieve their goals and growth. In 2018 both are highly indifferent to each other
because the small get more success than micro business so both businesses achieve their success
at different scale.
