synchronised with this different behavioural approaches. Each business organisation should
be careful about the needs of the clients. If the clients are not satisfied by the services then the
organisation may face the huge loss in market. In other words client’s satisfaction is the
major motive of the business organisation. For any kind of business organisation customer
necessity is the main concern. Through the use of advanced network business industries like

of shippers of delivering times. Those shippers are hiring for delivering the desired items of
client’s (Lin, Lee and Gibbs, 2008).
Duopoly: in this type of market two business industries are present to take charge those
businesses. This type of market is known as duopoly market system. This type of business is
totally depending on either variety of items or the quality of the items. Those two existing
market are equally served their client’s with providing different types of products as well as
the best quality (Lin, Lee and Gibbs, 2008). The SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) are
facing shocks at regular basis as their efficiency is impacted in negative way. The GDP
growth of UK is declined and at present is recovering. But now, GDP is increased at a growth
of 0.5 % which is a good sign of economy of UK. Confidence is prevailing in the SME's and
they are able to face competition from the market and they are regaining their lost

types of techniques by applying these techniques the entrepreneurs can establish a business or

different types of entrepreneurial motivation techniques including with internal and
environmental factors.

Entrepreneurship
analysed from different perspectives of the every entrepreneur. Most of the experts
researched on entrepreneurial motivation theory in the past and they described
entrepreneurial motivation as the independent variables. The scholars explained the relations
between entrepreneurial behaviors and entrepreneurial motivation. But the others have
explained about the relevance between entrepreneurial performance and entrepreneurial
motivation.
In psychological science, entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial mmotivations are
different, both of them can be stated as an entrepreneurial driving force, aspirations and idea.
This model has described only about the entrepreneurial intentions from the individual
entrepreneurial outlook or perspective. Some scholars believed that the entrepreneurial
motivation is the outcome of environmental factors, resource management, management
skills, policy support, business culture, market conditions etc. have an effect on
entrepreneurial motivation. Some scholars thought that the individual factors including
skills , personality, background, values, training etc may affect the entrepreneurial intentions.
Hodgette and Kuratko has proposed a mode of entrepreneurial motivation which is now
generally accepted. This new model, explains about features of individual personality,
commercial and individual atmosphere on the result of individual entrepreneurial inspiration.
An expert said that an entrepreneurial motivation is based on environmental factors,
entrepreneurial personality and characteristics, business skills and the phases of business
development etc. He has made the division of entrepreneurial motivation in three dimensions,
those are: internal orientation, security orientation, achievement orientation. Then he
described these three orientations are influenced by environmental factors, enterprise
development and organizational skills etc. There are some differences between
entrepreneurial motivation and vision. But the phase of entrepreneurship is the main essence
and this phase is depended on social factors and individual factors of the dual impact.
