The entrepreneur,according to French economist J.B. Say,“is a person who shifts economic resources out of an area of lower and into an area of higher productivity and yield.”But Says definition does not tell us who this entrepreneur is. Some define the entrepreneur simply as one who starts his or her own new and small business. For our purposes,we will define the entrepreneur as a person who takes the necessary risks to organize and manage a business and receives the financial profits and nonmonetary rewards.
The man who opens a small pizza restaurant is in business,but is he an entrepreneur?He took a risk and did something,but did he shift resources or start the business?If the answer is yes,then he is considered an entrepreneur. Ray Kroc is an example of an entrepreneur because he founded and established McDonalds. His hamburgers were not a new idea,but he applied new techniques,resource allocations,and organizational methods in his venture. Ray Kroc upgraded the productivity and yield from the resources applied to create his fastfood chain. This is what entrepreneurs do;this is what entrepreneurship means.
