To him an entrepreneur is an ‘innovator’ i.e. he has the potential to do things in a new way. This economic development is not a spontaneous or automatic process. It must be deliberately and actively promoted by some agency within the system. According to Schumpter, there are five different ways to act as an entrepreneur: 1. Introduction of better quality or new product or services. 2. Introduction of new production technology. 3. Discovery of new market. 4. Discovery of new sources of supply of raw materials. 5. New form of organization structure in industry. -- The entrepreneur provides leadership. By nature, he is neither a technician nor a financer. Entrepreneurship is not a profession nor it is the permanent occupation. Psychologically entrepreneurs are not motivated by profits or rewards. The profits come out of the economic progress. Such kind of entrepreneurs are mostly motivated by the desire to establish a personal kingdom and the will to conquer. Criticism : 1. Conceived in the context of industrial revolution. 2. Modeled on big private enterprises and not applicable to developing countries. McClelland’s need for achievement theory : David McClelland an American, psychologist in 1960 gave the concept of need for achievement. It is the need for achievement (also known as n- Ach) which provides drive to the entrepreneur to set up a new enterprise, to achieve goals or targets, to innovate, to identify problems and opportunities, to take risk and most importantly to run the business successfully. The entrepreneurs strive for personal satisfaction rather than profits or rewards. They have a desire to do something new or something of better quality that has been done before, high achievement differentiate themselves from others by their desire to do something better, they seek situations where they can attain personal responsibility for finding solutions to the problems. High achievers are not gamblers. They take up reasonably challenging goals. They dislike succeeding by chance rather they like to take calculated amount of risks, they prefer the challenge of working for a problem and accepting personal responsibility for success or failure, rather than learning outcomes to chances or action of others. R. A. Sharma categorized the factors that motivate entrepreneurs into two types: 1. Internal factors : a. Desire to achieve something. b. Educational background. c. Experience. 2. External factors : a. Government assistance and support. b. Easy availability of raw materials and cheap labor. c. Encouragement from big business houses. d. Promising demands for the product. Hoselitz’s theory of entrepreneurship based on managerial skills and leadership : According to him, a person desirous of becoming an industrial entrepreneur, must have additional personality traits extending beyond a desire to gather wealth in addition of being motivated by an expectation of profit. He must have managerial and leadership abilities. Financial skills have secondary role. There are 3 types of business leaders (merchant money lenders, manager type leader, entrepreneur type leader). Harbison’s theory of entrepreneurship as an organization building function : According to F. Harbison, organization building is the most important and critical skill needed for industrial development. Entrepreneurship is the skill which is essential to build an organization. The crux of entrepreneurship consists in the ability to multiply oneself by effectively delegating responsibilities to others, he lays more emphasis on managerial skills and creativity and harnesses innovative ideas for use in organization. To him, entrepreneur is an organization builder and if organization is absent, it cannot stimulate economic growth. Entrepreneurial motivation : The term motivation has been derived from the word ‘motive’ which means drive i.e. motivation is the drive and efforts to achieve goals. There may be several reasons as to why an entrepreneur may undertake risk and start a new enterprise. It may be financial scarcity, family or social status, or dissatisfaction from present life. Classifying entrepreneurial motivation according to Maslow’s need theory , they would fall in the category of the higher order needs (sociological, esteem and self actualization needs) but this does not mean that the lower order needs of physiological and safety needs don’t contribute to entrepreneurial motivation. If we categorize the same in McClelland’s theory of needs, the entrepreneur would generally be labeled as an individual with a high need for achievement, moderate need of power and low need for affiliation. Researchers have pointed out varied ranges of entrepreneurial motivation like need for achievement, dissatisfaction from present job, work and family situations etc. but most of them have agreed that need for achievement is the most important motivation for an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship and economic growth / development : economic development of any region is the outcome of purposeful human activities. According to Schumpter, the economic development consists of employing resources in a different way bringing in new factors of production or combination of the factors. The entrepreneur looks for innovative ideas and puts them into effect for economic development. The entrepreneur occupies a crucial place in the process of economic development by acting as a trigger head to give spark to economic activities. Some of the development activities are as follows: 1.increase in the income. 2. Brings change in the structure of business and society. 3. Wealth creation. 4. New products, services and business. 5.

Entrepreneurship and economic growth / development: economic development of any region is the outcome of purposeful human activities. According to Schumpter, the economic development consists of employing resources in a different way bringing in new factors of production or combination of the factors. The entrepreneur looks for innovative ideas and puts them into effect for economic development. The entrepreneur occupies a crucial place in the process of economic development by acting as a trigger head to give spark to economic activities. Some of the development activities are as follows: 1.increase in the income. 2. Brings change in the structure of business and society. 3. Wealth creation. 4. New products, services and business. 5. Generation of employment. 6. Increase in the standard of living.Entrepreneurial development program (EDP): it is designed to help a person in strengthening and fulfilling his entrepreneurial motives and in acquiring skills and capabilities necessary to play his role effectively and efficiently.Entrepreneurial development in India: Stage 1 (emergence of entrepreneurial classes; pre-independence period): During British era, large portion of India consisted of villages which were self sufficient. The villages and economy were constituted by farmers, craftsmen and gram-panchayats. They produced various products and provided services. They represented the culture and possessed the characteristics of an entrepreneur. The barter system mainly prevailed in the economy. The art, sculptures, crafts, textile, spices and minerals attracted world-wide attention. Village craftsmen used to receive patronages from kings for their work. Exports of these were also done throughout the world. Stage 2 (Decline of entrepreneurship during the British rule; pre-independence period): During this period, Indian entrepreneurship received a huge blow because of the mechanization in the British industries which initiated the industrialization process in Britain. Moreover, the British industries that required raw materials were supplied by India. The raw materials received from India were then converted into machine made cheap products that flooded the Indian markets pushing out the handmade (more expensive) products which contributed in the complete destruction of the Indian handicraft industry. Stage 3 (Post independence growth of entrepreneurship): Post independence, the Indian economy was full of interesting developments in the field of entrepreneurial development. It was conditioned by various economic, social and political factors. The industrial policy (1947) introduced government’s help in starting, supporting and maintaining small and medium scale industries.Objectives of EDP: 1. promote development of small and medium scale industries that encourages self employment among potential entrepreneurs. 2. To provide, in the rural areas, special programs designed to stimulate new ventures and encourage expansion of existing activities of small and medium scale industries. 3. generate employment and self employment opportunities in the society. – These objectives focused to help achieve the following objectives: 1. Develop and strengthen their quality and motivation. 2. Analyze environment related to small and medium scale industries. 3. Select the project or product. 4. Formulate the projects. 5. Understand the procedure of setting up of small and medium scale industries. 6. Acquire quality management skills.

Libenstein’s gap filling or input completing theory: theory was postulated in 1968. He identified two broad categories of entrepreneurial activities: 1. Routine

Linkage of innovation and creativity on entrepreneurship: innovation is different from invention and invention is the discovery of new methods whereas

Page 2: Entrepreneurship Management{BBA 5TH SEM}

entrepreneurship: it is associated with the managerial functions of the entrepreneurs. 2. New entrepreneurship: Schumpter’s kind of innovation.Entrepreneurship consists of filling gaps in knowledge about the production function. The gaps here represent deficiencies. The gap in production function exists because some of the inputs like leadership and motivation are vague in their nature. Hence, the output cannot be exactly measured. The entrepreneur moves for work to fill up these gaps. His function is input completing. According to Libenstein, entrepreneur is an individual or a group of individuals having these 4 characteristics: 1. Establishment of connection between different markets. 2. Capability to identify and make up the market deficiencies i.e. gap filling activities. 3. Input completion. 4. Creation or expansion of inputs transforming entities like business firms. The supply of entrepreneurs is governed by: 1. Input completion capacity. 2. Motivational capacity. 3. Investment criteria. 4. Training.Hagen’s theory of entrepreneurship as a function of status withdrawal : Everett Hagen considered the process of change in a society as transition to economic growth on the basis of the analysis of traditional societies. He discovered that the position of authority is based not on ability but on status. Persons of status in societies have authoritarian personalities. Since traditional societies are stable, strong forces are needed to disrupt them. According to Hagen, such disruption is necessary for the emergence of creative personalities such kind of personalities emerge when members of social group experience status withdrawal i.e. displacement from their established positions by some other groups. On account of displacement of status, the affected group may give any of the following responses: 1. Ret realism: the group continues to work in the society but remains indifferent to its work. 2. Ritualism: the group develops defense mechanism and begins to act with the ways acceptable to the society but without the hope of improvement. 3. Reformism: the group develops rebellion power and attempts to establish a new society. 4. Innovation: The group members focus on creativity and develop the possibility of setting up a new enterprise.Hagen’s works are based on experiences of the back ward areas of Asia and Latin America, hence, in his theory he has identified status withdrawal to be the prime factor of becoming an entrepreneur.Max Weber’s theory of entrepreneurship as a function of religious beliefs: Max Weber analyzed religion and its impact upon the enterprise culture. The spirit of capitalism is a set of attitude towards acquisition of money and the activities necessary to achieve the goal. This spirit of capitalism can be generated only when mental attitude of the society is favorable to capitalism. Such an attitude is prevalent in the society and professional culture as well as protestant culture but had been singularly absent in Hinduism culture with its belief in karma and immunity to external values and influences. The spirit of capitalism infuses beliefs which lead to systematic and intensive exertion in occupational pursuits and systematic ordering of means and documentation of assets. The Hindu ethical ideas are more directed towards individuals than the society as a whole.Criticism: Tripathy has criticized Weber’s theory and assumptions as simplistic. Hinduism according to him is a collective name for many beliefs. Rapid growth of entrepreneurs in India after independence is a proof that Hinduism is not averse to the spirit of capitalism and that Weberian model is inadequate for explaining entrepreneurship in Indian context.

innovation is the utilization of invention to produce better quality of products. The importance of innovation and creativity has risen from the increased competition amongst the corporates. Successful entrepreneurs are realizing that creativity, innovation and implemental value addition are necessary ingredients to survive in the rising competition.
