Definition Definition of Entrepreneurship
To begin with, the term entrepreneurship has been defined in various ways by our predecessors,
There is a widely referenced academic view today.It would be, for example
-

Shane and Venkataraman(2000)

The essence of entrepreneurship is...
Natural ability and talent has nothing to do with it.
The purpose of entrepreneurship research, which originally began in the 1980s in Europe and the United States, was to create innovation in society. In one study that examined the conditions for so-called "innovators" who evolve society through creative destruction, the researchers initially focused on startup executives and analyzed their characteristics, but gradually came to realize that "human qualities have nothing to do with it."
The starting point of entrepreneurship is...
The only thing that makes a difference is "action."
The only clear difference between those who are called innovators and those who are not, who are representative of those who embody entrepreneurship, is the number of times they have experienced this opportunity, and that is why innovators have also experienced more failures than others. By turning on the "action mode" switch and accumulating more and more experiences, the "innovator component," which lies dormant in every person, will be awakened without fear.
