  • The concept of entrepreneurship has been around for a very long time, but its resurgent popularity implies a sudden discovery. As if we had stumbled onto a new direction for American enterprise. America was discovered by entrepreneurs and nourished by entrepreneurs, and the united state became a world economic power through entrepreneurial activity. They are inspired people, often adventures, who can at once disrupt a society and instigate progress. They are risk takers who seize opportunities to harness and use resources in unusual ways, and entrepreneurs will thrust us into the twenty-first century with a thunderous roar. 6

  • Entrepreneurship is one of the four mainstream economic factors: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. early references to the entrepreneur in the 14th century spoke about tax contractors- individuals who paid a fixed sum of money to a government for the license to collect taxes in the region. Tax entrepreneurs bore the risk of collecting individual taxes. Entrepreneurship was a common topic in economic essays for much of the 18th and 19th centuries. Notable early French, British, and Austrian economists wrote enthusiastically about entrepreneurs as the change agent of progressive economics.7

  • Starting a decade after most automobile manufactures had been established in the united state, Henry ford created the manufacturing miracle that launched a modern era in industry. His genius was in engineering an assembly line process, and his process was an historic innovation. Ford reversed the fundamental way things were manufactured. during his lifetime, ford instituted more than a thousand innovations, and at one time he had more ford automobiles on the road than the rest of the worlds manufactures combined. 10

  • With a definition in mind, we still have trouble identifying entrepreneurs, finding them , or determining what they do. Is the local gas station owner an entrepreneur? Are there entrepreneurs in corporations? In schools? In government? There are no short answer to these question, and there are no formal guidelines for classifying entrepreneurs. There is no entrepreneurial licensing procedure and no evidence of professional status.In an effort to understand better. Researchers have sought to define traits common to a majority of individual who start and ventures. john Hornaday of Babson college was among the first to use surveys and intense interview to develop a composite list of entrepreneurial traits. these are summarized in exhibit 1-1. 11

  • THE TERM ENTREPRENEUR MAY BE PROPERLY APPLIED TO THOSE WHO INCOBATE NEW IDEAS, START ENTERPRISES BASED ON THOSE IDEAS, AND PROVIDE ADDED VALUE TO SOCIETY BASED ON THEIR INDEPENDENT INITIATIVE. HOEVER, INDIVIDUALS who simply substitute income by leaving jobs to operate local stores or independent service business are described as SMSLL businessperson. The person who establishes a fast- food franchise chain is called an entrepreneur, but the local restaurant owner is called a small business person. The small business person may exhibit these characteristic, but only coincidentally, Corporate entrepreneurship, sometimes referred to as entrepreneurship, is concerned with innovation that leads to new corporate divisions or subsidiary ventures in established, larger firms. The concept of entrepreneurship does not exclude managers in large organization from being entrepreneurs if they combine resources in unusual ways to create innovative new products or services. 13

  • During the small 1970s small business created more than 6 million new jobs for Americans. At the same time, fortune 500 firms cut employment by nearly 10 percent, for a net loss of more than a million jobs. During the first half of the 1980s, new jobs form small business enterprises eclipsed the gain of the 1970s, and today, more than 16 million small business account for approximately 97 percent of all non farm business . Between 1980 and 1987, 66 percent of all new jobs in the united states were in firm with fewer 1000 employees generating less than $10 million in annual sales. Figure 1-3 illustrates these relative changes. 14

  • According to the small business administration, a small business is one that does not dominate its industry. SBA uses these benchmarks for evaluating loans and providing business assistance. Fast food franchises, such as McDonalds, generate million in sales with only a few employees. On the other hand, firms with several thousand workers may have low sales volume. In general, small business seldom dominate their industries and rely on filling a niche in local or regional markets. 16

  • Family enterprises are locally owned and operated, often by one person called a sole proprietor. Proprietors may have started their business in an effort to supplement or replace family income. Many are services based firms that rely on an owners skills. types of businesses that are family owned vary widely and can include retail stores. in the absence of a successor, the life of a venture is limited to the working life of its founder. succession is a serious problem, and successful business owners often must resign themselves to dissolving their firms.17

  • Personal service firms rely crucially on unique skills of their founders or key employees. in most instances, the business is the person, and succession is unlikely unless a son or daughter develops comparable skills. many of enterprise become quite large and are distinguished from smaller personal service firm by their growth characteristic. 18

  • Century 21Based in Irvine, California, century 21 is the worlds largest real state organization. with more than 6,700 franchised office in the united state, Canada, Japan, and great Britain, the company generates $50 billion annually in world revenue. Century 21 plans to open an additional 500 units in England, Scotland , Wales, and northern Ireland, and 800 units in France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, and the Netherlands during the early 1990s. By awarding sub franchises territories or major regions to one substantial franchisee, century 21 has created a global network of expanding enterprise, each capable of opening new location and managing growth.

  • Discuss why many new ventures start small and remain small.

    Define personal service firm, and describe three that you frequent.

  • 2- DistributionIf entrepreneurs have defined their methods of distribution should be equally clear. A luxury consumer item intended for specialty markets and high-income consumers will not be offered through a discount channel

  • Matching markets with products and servicesEffective distribution strategies will define channels that complement products and service characteristics. entrepreneurs , therefore, must consciously select ways to position their venture through market channels that match expectations of consumers with characteristics of products andservices. There are three strategic categories for distribution called:

    Intensive Distribution systemsSelective Distribution systems Exclusive Distribution systems

  • Channel of Distribution

    1- consumer channels: the first of four alternative consumer channels is direct link between manufacture and end customers

    2- Industrial channels: industrial marketing channels exist between two or more institutions or companies.

  • 3- promotionThe role of promotion is to facilitate exchanges between organization and their customers. Commercial enterprises are concerned with informing clients a bout their services; and not for-profit organizations must let their constituents know what they do. different types of enterprises will have distinct promotional mixes utilizing a variety of promotional methods.We will describe these methods and address the concept of an effective promotional mix.

  • Advertising

    Advertising is a from of impersonal broadcasting through commercial mass media. The pervasive type of promotion is advertising because it is the one from that punctuates our daily lives.

    There are two approaches to advertising. First , a company will try to pull products through a distribution system by firing information salvos through mass media.

    The second approach is a push system where advertising is directed toward one channel member

  • 4- pricingThe price one pays for a product is the exchange value, and the price one asks service coupled with a premium to reward risk taking.Prices are known by other names, including fares, fees, interests , tips, tuition, and taxes.

  • Figure 9-7 pricing to maintain marginsFactory-direct 59.95-4.00=

  • Marketing strategiesAs defined earlier, a marketing strategy is a consciously formulated plan that describe how a new venture will compete. It focuses the enterprise on activities related to competing in its market niche , subsequently providing guidelines for decisions a bout strategic objectives, allocation of resources, and responsibilities required to implement a marketing plan.

  • Strategic objectiveGrowth. Growth is measured through sales activities and should be expressed in term of sales dollars or units sold.Profitability. Every commercial enterprise will have profit objectives, but these can be expressed several ways.Customers service. An essential objective is to define how the enterprise will serve customers.Human resources. In addition to the personal aspirations of founders, most excellent companies have human resource objectives such as helping employees improve their career opportunities, or improving performance through job skill training .

  • Exhibit 10-1 Essential provisions of soviet joint venture regulation JVs have the status of legal entities under soviet law and will operate independently on the basis of their own operating budgets and financing. JVs must be approved and registered with the state on the basis of a negotiated agreement between the partners land, mineral rights, and water and forest resources are leased to the JV by the state . the JV statutes are by partner agreement and determine the aims of the venture , its location , the participants shares, the assets, the administrative structure , and priority in liquidation.

  • share of assets is determined in rubles based on agreed prices related to world markets with currency converted at official exchange rates. Equipment and materials contributed by the western partner are duty-free. JVs may conduct import and export operations and participate in domestic markets. all foreign currency expenditures by the JV must be based on internally generated currency from foreign sales or other such means.JVs may apply for financing on commercial terms from soviet banks in both hard currency and rubles.

  • franchising

    Franchising is a method of doing business by which a franchisee is granted the right to offer sell or distribute goods or services under a system created by the franchisor . Specially, franchising is a special form of licensing that involves rights to a business concept.

  • Joint ventures

    Moving up the scale of international involvement, entrepreneurs can pursue joint ventures with foreign companies. A joint venture is a shared ownership by two or more organizations in which the investors have an equity investment in separate enterprise .the crucial point here is that unlike a license or franchise that seldom requires direct investments, the joint venture requires specific equity investments by all parties.

  • Figure 10-5 pattern of joint venturing in peoples republic of chinau.S company makes direct investment in PRCThrough a joint venture With equity and operating Funds(10-49% owner)Existing or newly formed PRC company combines assets or invests equity In joint venture( 10-51% shared of venture)

  • The foreign environment of business

    Services and their counterparts in manufacturing and merchandising have several things in common. They must take in to consideration cultural, legal, political , and economic characteristics that exist overseas. No one can simply transplant a domestic business in to foreign environment without adjustments.
