the highest profit in the markets in comparison of other ventures. Employment generating ratio is
also very high in public ventures. Currently these ventures have provided great job opportunities
to people. Expansion process is always too effective in this type of ventures. British Petroleum is

and private ventures also give a specific fund to social ventures to run its operations in

motive of high growth ventures (Eckblad, Gutmann and Lindener, 2019). Such public and

their ideas to bring change in society by betterment through their enterprises, and
construct initiatives in their business standards by which they can bring change in living
standards of people (Mironova, Dimitrov and Tsenkov,2019).
Appropriate strategies to improve competitive edge and market position
 Entrepreneurs need to analyse the market share of other competitors to build strong
company structure where there is high level efficiency along with advanced technology
usage to reach set performance goals. Small business firms need to build cost efficiency
12

in technology working methods for optimum utilization of resources, capitalized revenue
and high profit margins.
 Entrepreneurs to gain competitive edge in market position analyse where are the growth
opportunities for company and how the performance can be enriched according to
changing customer preferences. The new preferences of market share according to
competitive business world should be deeply analysed for gaining large market share and
customer segments (Rodríguez-López and Souto, 2019).
LO4
P7: Hinder or Foster Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurial characteristics and influence of personal background and experience has
large effect on weather their will be growth foster or it can hinder the enterprise success levels.
Arora brother example can be taken for this expatiation where Simon Arora was graduated from
Cambridge, which enables him to build strong management principles learning into his business
firm and bring financial goals to reach optimum heights. Entrepreneurial decision taking ability
with high passion and strong competency to derive high market share and enlarge customer
segments enable entrepreneur to foster growth in company working stricture. Economic
circumstances while building up the start-up is also an important element in determining where
company performance levels will go in the future. A strong background with large level of
experience in management operations will enable company to establish quick reputation among
consumers with quality performance delivery. Whereas any negative experience of entrepreneur
in failure can hinder the present working structure, and demotivate employees of company
extensively (Titus Jr,Parker and Covin,2019). Personal background of arora brothers can be
analysed as they possess high creativity energy and innovative talent to boost their business
scale, financial circumstances can be analysed as the initial business funding was difficult for
them. Vision to make ideas into successful business has brought the success to their entrepreneur
where they have worked with huge passion and management skills to build dynamic factors in
operational structure.
j.K.Rowling is another biggest entrepreneur example whose courage and passion to work
with high deliverance in performance levels has made her biggest author in world. She was born
on 31st July 1965 in south-east Wales and has developed a deep interest in writing and reading
from childhood. Her writing career had seen many ups and downs which was highly affected due
13

to her personal relationship problems. She faced large personal losses in her early life which
largely demoralized her deeply, a failed marriage and being single mother to her child she faced
extensive financial burden. Her book Harry Potter reached large level audience attention globally
due to her creative writing skills and the potentiality to attract readers all over world. The
entrepreneur has deep vision in her writing pattern which inspired readers of all age groups to
take up her books (Vaznyte and Andries, 2019). She faced rejections from many publishers for
her books initially which increased her financial problems extensively. She had high education in
her academic career in literature and history which has enabled her to build strong career in
writing, her vision and strong flexibility in work has resulted in being a global recognized
entrepreneur. Her upbringing in UK has influenced her positively to get inspired for her writing
stories and novels.Through this example we can understand entrepreneurial skills and
background along with experience has high impact on how they pace their careers, business
goals and serve their accomplishments. The high influential skills of entrepreneurs motivate
them to build their business into successful entity frames and reach personal growth height in
their individual performance levels. Culture and background have high emphasis on how
entrepreneurs build their firms, ideas and vision which motivate them to conspire growth along
with betterment of society on whole.
