The authors write, “Entrepreneurship is the process by which an entrepreneur undertakes the process of creating a new business venture. Entrepreneurship requires a risk-taker. Every new business venture entails both the possibility of success as well as the potential for failure. Entrepreneurship implies the acquisition of needed resources and the organization and management of these resources. Entrepreneurship involves the identification of an opportunity. The excitement of the entrepreneurship is captured in the quotation above by the globally recognized serial entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson. ‘Business opportunities are like buses. There’s always another one coming.’ Opportunity drives entrepreneurship.”
