impact on the society by SME are given below:

goods and services over other countries. it also helps to develop innovation in the economy
which is too significant for the future generation.
P5 Differentiation of manager and entrepreneur on the basis of characteristics, skills and traits
by using two successful entrepreneur example
An entrepreneur is a person who bear the whole risk which is associated with its new
idea just to grab all the opportunities which are taking place in business environment so that
operation get maximise and an entity can generate more and more profit. The ultimate target
of any organisation is profit generation and an individual just start a business to earn and
generate more and more profit which facilitate in growth. The qualities of an entrepreneur are
from birth born and do not get learn from others (Kirzner, 2015). Its skills are completely
different from other managers of an organisation and thus that's why they are consider as a
leader. They never get fear from any threat and taking risk by all the time without thinking
about society as well. Their passion is everything for them and this is the only reason behind
their success. As per this positive attitude some examples of great personalities which lead to
show that managers are completely different from managers. Two famous individuals are
Mark Zuckerberg and Walt Disney.
Mark is a founder of one of a most famous social networking site Facebook. This is
used by more than billion, trillion people around the world and treated as one of the most
using social media ever. This application enables them in connecting one person to another
without meeting once in their life (Herrington and et. al., 2010). Thus, this is treated as one of
a most useful application ever. On the other hand, another famous personality is Walt Disney
which is known as the Father of Mickey Mouse. The first cartoon which was created by him
“Lucky Rabbit” but that owned by Universal picture. This possession by Universal picture
motivate him and he lead to create one of a most interesting thing which was treated as the
revolution in Cartoon Entertainment - “Mickey Mouse”.
Hence, these personalities are completely differing from managers of their own
company. If they choose the same path like their manager, they never become an
entrepreneur. Following are some of the differentiation between managers and these
individuals which signifies that managers and entrepreneur are not same term (Barringer,
2012).

Basis Entrepreneur Managers
Creative An entrepreneur is a person
who introduce a new thing in
market. He/ She also introduce
some new methods which aid
to society in development
process.
A manager never uses his/her
own skills to introduce a new
thing in market. But according
to its nature, he/she help in
solving out the problems
which occur at workplace.
Risk taking Another major feature of an
individual is risk taking.
Referenced entrepreneurs take
the risk first and then work on
them. This is a reason behind
their success.
A manager is itself employee
of a company and he/ she
never take a chance for any
act.
P6 Aspects of entrepreneurial personality
Task and role which is play by an entrepreneur is not easy and it is very complex in
nature. Environment is unpredictable in nature and get changed very rapidly so for a
personality it is their duty to analyse the business environment properly through which all
targets get attain in minimum time period. An entrepreneur always motivate team and all
employees who work with them. For success and survival for long term, owner have to set a
positive mind set which support them in conducting business properly. An entrepreneur has
some dimensions which describes as that a personality work on these aspects and this
signifies that their working is positive in nature. Mark and Walt Disney face so many
problems but their targets are set and their ideas are new in nature (Bosma and Levie, 2010).
Their mind set is a reflection of their past experience in which they get motivated
through various aspects of their life. Their personalities are different from others and this is a
key reason behind their success and survival. For this conceptualisation, thee famous persons
are described on the basis of five dimensions of personality which is known as the OCEAN
acronym and Big 5 personality trait. By considering them Zuckerberg and Walt Disney
working criteria get described (Bosma and Levie, 2010).
Originality/ Openness: As per this context, these bodies are famous I all over the world
because of their work. They have new ideas through which they want to change the world.

Moreover, their mind is open and a curiosity to get learn new things. Originality in idea
always motivate them to perform task effectively without limiting their task performance.
Consolidation: Both entrepreneurs formulate a plan for such targets which they want to attain
in near future course. They are self-discipline and always aware about goals which they want
to achieve in their life. This factor also motivates them and set a pure objective which is
achievable for them. They always respect their work and dutiful so that their dedication about
their dreams are summarised.
Extraversion: If an individual does not have positive mind set about targets then its
determination about such thing get decline and target will not lead to get achieved. Both these
bodies always show some energy in their work and never think that their dreams are too short
or big in front of achievement. Their nature is moderate extraversion in which they are not so
much talkative or not so much self-absorbed.
Agreeableness: Entrepreneur always support others by friendly behaviour. They are not so
much high tampered and always get ready to help others. They have moderate nature which
means they do not get angry on early basis.
Neuroticism: Stability of mind is must for every person. They have to set a positive mind in
every situation through which they can overcome from them on short term basis.
These personalities have moderate mindset and attitude or attribute. Nothing is find
out in excessive or low manner. Thus, they attract others which lead to contribute some in
economy of country by opening many new business (George and Bock, 2011).
P7 Use of background and experience in making a successful entrepreneur
Entrepreneurship enable a person to learn many things and provide a framework
through which they can overcome from them. An individual have to take some beneficial
decisions in this context. Also, their past experience signifies about nature of these famous
persons. Sometime their background is not so appropriate which means they are highly
motivated for achieving something new from market. Their mindset about idea foster them in
show more concern towards their target. Hence, their background foster or hinder them in
achieving their targets more specifically (Karlan and Valdivia, 2011).
Mark Zuckerberg have some ambition from starting of their life. He achieved so many
prizes at the time of school and he is one of a most excellent student than others. His

background was good and he never faced so much problems in his life. Hence, from starting
of life he always gets motivated and want to become successful personality than any other.
Another example is Walt Disney, his idea was stealing by Universal picture and for
that he become angry. He set a target and create a unique invention which create a revolution
in the history of cartoon networking. Many people hinder him in his life but he set a target
which any how have to get attain. Thus, this is a story behind the success of Walt Disney.
The role of government in the development of SME is too significant. Because it provides
fund for development and also support them by providing technical assistance. Apart from
that, there are various corporate houses which also provide finance and technical expertise in
order to development start-up in to large ventures.
