Many of the sharp，blackandwhite contrasts between the entrepreneur and the professional have faced to a gray color. Formerly，professionals such as doctors，lawyers，dentists，and accountants were not supposed to be entrepreneurial，aggressive，or market oriented. They were“above”the marketdriven world. Entrepreneurs，on the other hand，were the mavericks of society. They were risktakers who aggressively sought to make something happen. Long hours were about all the two worlds had in common. However，increased competition，saturated markets，and a more priceconscious public have changed the world of the professionals. Today they need to market their skills，talents，and competencies；Lawyers advertise their services. Doctors specialize in one form of surgery. Accounting firms join with other businesses（e.g.，consulting and law）to serve clients.
Entrepreneurs exhibit many different behaviors；searching for a specific personality pattern is very difficult. Some entrepreneurs are quiet，introverted，and analytical. On the other hand，some are brash，extroverted，and very emotional. many of them share some qualities. Viewing change as the norm，entrepreneurs usually search for it，respond to it，and treat it as an opportunity. An entrepreneur such as Ray Kroc of McDonalds is able to take resources and shift them to meet a need. Making the decision to shift resources works better if a person is creative，experienced，and confident.

Modern technology and science have produced a wealth of new materials and new ways of using old materials.For the artist this means wider opportunities.There is no doubt that the limitations of materials and nature of tools both restrict and shape a man‘s work.Observe how the development of plastics and light metals along with new methods of welding has changed the direction of sculpture.Transparent plastic materials allow one to look through an object，to see its various sides superimposed on each other（as in Cubism or in an Xray）。Today，welding is as prevalent as casting was in the past.This new method encourages open designs，where surrounding and intervening space becomes as important as form itself.
