Who is an entrepreneur???
Entrepreneurship is defined as the process of making money, earning profits and increasing the wealth while posing characteristics such as risk taking, management, leadership and innovation. The term entrepreneurship is a complicated term and gives various meaning depending on the situation. The word entrepreneur has a French origin. It originated during the Middle Ages when the term entrepreneur was applied to “the man in charge of the great architectural works: castles and fortifications, public buildings, abbeys and cathedrals ”. It is derived from the French word, entreprendre, which means “to undertake.” In a business context, it means to undertake a business activity or simply to start a business.
