LO 1. Explore and illustrate the range of venture types that might be considered entrepreneurial.The termentrepreneurship can be stated as the willingness and ability to formulate, organize,control and manage a business organization with a view to make profit in the short run and tomaximize wealth in the long run with any risk involved in it (Frese, M., Baron, R. 2016). Forexample, it is basically associated with the start-up of a new business. For the clarification of this report, it is to state that the terms enterprise, entrepreneurs andentrepreneurship have a clear distinction. Enterprise is the business venture formed to producegoods and to provide services, to create job opportunities, to help increase national income, toincrease export/ import and to contribute to the sustainable development of the economy. On theother hand, entrepreneurs are the persons who start-up businesses with a risk to have lose andopportunity to make profit. Finally, the activities of formatting a business including ability,skills, originality and difficulties will be termed as entrepreneurship. However, if3
entrepreneurship is the act then entrepreneur is the actor and whole economy will be consideredas field. P1. Examine different types of entrepreneurial ventures and explain how they relateto the typology of entrepreneurship. There are several types of entrepreneurial ventures based on the traits of their size, location,scope and status. Here are several types of entrepreneurial ventures-Explanation of few entrepreneurial ventures are as follows:Small business entrepreneurship: The number of small business and their contributionto the UK economy is overwhelming today. There are almost 5.2 million of small businessventures in UK economy, they covers almost 48% of employment of the total economy and 33%of private sector employment turnover (Hughes, A. 2016). There are several hundreds ofexamples of small firms such as, grocery stores, hairdressers, consultancy, electrician, travelagency, carpenters and so on around our daily life premises. The objectives of their business is tofeed themselves, make a little profit, expand business not more than $100 million and to supporttheir family (Hughes, A. 2016). They can be anyone to formulate and manage their business, hireemployees or afford employees from their own family etc. chance of lose is very little in thiskind of business. Formulation and destruction is very easy as there is single owner. Entrepreneurship of large companies: Large companies often faces a limited life cyclebecause of the nature of its competitiveness, arrival of new technology, changes in the test ofcustomers, arrival of the new firms offering same products and services etc. Some of the largecompany entrepreneurship are said to Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. Most of the firms gothrough innovation of new products and services, making little change around the core productsto be sustained in the competitive world (Drucker, P. 2015). New technologies, change incustomer tastes, change in legislation and new firms can create pressure on the existing firm thusrequiring existing firm to produce new products, according to customer demand, and sell them tothe new customers. This objective can be done through acquiring existing innovative firms orthrough developing new product lines inside the firm. Scalable start-ups entrepreneurship: It is different from small businesses that it is likewhat Shanghai entrepreneurs and their investors do. The vision of the ventures is very dynamicand can change the business world (Church, O. 2015). For example, Online shopping is emergedas scalable start-up business for apparels, DVDs, Electronics, ebay and computers.4
