Executive Summary
There are more than four million small business organisations all over the UK and they are contributing half of the UK’s GDP and UK’s employment. Hence, marketing for small businesses is seemed to be neglected (Department for Business Innovation and Skills, 2012).

Slowly he became market leader for that product. Entrepreneurship has been defined by several researchers as the progression of making a product or service valuable by gathering a distinctive set of resources and opportunities. This procedure comprises the set of accomplishments to recognise opportunities, business classification, evaluation and obtaining the essential resources, management and getting positive results. Furthermore, entrepreneurship has been seen as an organizational coordination that underlines the three extents: innovation, taking calculated risks and proactive orientation. There are many indications to provision the idea that the businesses which were engaged in entrepreneurial practices have been most effective and successful (Hills, Hultman & Miles, 2008).

Research has been collected, over the years, to determine what the true definition of corporate entrepreneurship is in the business context. Leaders do not need to focus on the size of the corporation, as corporate entrepreneurship can be displayed in small firms and start-up ventures (Morris, Kuratko, & Covin, 2011). They only need to develop new behaviors within an existing corporation to build upon components that currently exist (Karacaoglu, Bayrakdaroglu, & San, 2013). The majority of professionals, who are in the field of business, have come to the consensus that corporate entrepreneurship is the process of being innovative and the ability to identify opportunities to improve an established company’s positioning in the marketplace (Morris, Kuratko, & Covin, 2011). Innovation is the ability to create a new product, process, or system in order to remain competitive. Essentially, corporate entrepreneurship can be broken down into three dimensions, which
While that strategy may have worked in the past, it’s not suitable in our current market. Today’s consumer is seeking products and services geared to their specific needs. And for small businesses, that means advertising must be spot on!
According to the author, personal entrepreneurship is the ability of a person to trade in goods and services for the purposes of creating wealth for the individual, while personal innovation is the ability to generate new ideas for the purpose of creating new or improved products or services. The author further argued that organizational entrepreneurship is the knack of the registered business to exchange its goods and services for the purpose of generating profits, while organizational innovation is the knack of a registered company to come up with new products and services for improved delivery of products and services to its customers.
It can be argued that entrepreneurship is the backbone of our technological society, and keeps reinventing the way business is done. Each new company provides a different perspective as to how business should be handled. They also provide a very large portion of the new products that change the way we live our day-to-day lives. However, due to the risks involved in starting a new company it takes a certain "entrepreneurial spirit" to successfully launch a new business. This paper will step through the entrepreneurial process by examining two separate entrepreneurs and their reason for becoming entrepreneurs, why they chose their industry, how they obtained funding, their first customers, and the pros and
Many small business owners disregard marketing because they feel it is too expensive or it is only for large companies. Marketing consists of a lot of different elements some of little or no costs and some with some substantial costs.
Defining the very essence of entrepreneurship is part of a longstanding theoretical debate (Henry, Hill & Leitch, 2005, p. 99). Definitions are particularly important in the field because many of the terms associated with the discipline, such as entrepreneurship, entrepreneur and enterprise, are often used interchangeably. For the purpose of this review, the definition of entrepreneurship is synonymous with Gibb (2007), who describes entrepreneurship as “sets of behaviours, attributes and skills that allow individuals and groups to create change and innovation, cope with and even enjoy higher levels of uncertainty and complexity” (Gibb, 2007, p. 1). Meanwhile, the term ‘entrepreneur’
As we think about the role of entrepreneurship in terms of the economic growth, entrepreneurs make new organizations and new organizations,thus they create employment opportunities, based on the above explanation, they
This paper addresses the issues and current literature surrounding research into innovative marketing in small and medium sized businesses (SME’s). Micro and SME’s are collectively major contributors of jobs and account for 99% of enterprises in the EU (Nyman et al., 2006). It is also recognised that marketing is one of the most important business activities and is vital to the survival and growth of businesses (Simpson & Taylor, 2002). Therefore, a critical and detailed understanding of how SME’s operate within marketing is essential. While it is recognized that SME’s do partake in marketing, the form SME’s marketing takes is not fully understood (O’Donnell, 2004). However, what is understood is that SME’s do not perform
The emergence of globalise trade, increase in foreign investment and cross-border transactions have put many small businesses under pressure to find innovative ways to continue to market their products and services. This is especially difficult given that they often operate on tight marketing budgets.
Entrepreneurship is the process of opening a new business; typically the company offers an innovative product, process or service. As per Carton et al, entrepreneurship is all about the identification of an opportunity, creation of new organization, and pursuing new ventures. There are many various studies based on entrepreneurship (directly as well as indirectly) like building and promoting a business, applying creativity to make an existing business more productive, external skills required in entrepreneurs, etc. In 1934, Schumpeter has stated that an entrepreneur not only needs to innovative and creative but also should be able to take risk. His views where then supported by Wickham in 2006. The responsibilities of an entrepreneur
The entrepreneurship process is continually changing due to the aspect of globalisation. It is in this regard that the definitive term of the entrepreneurship process is becoming hard to derive. Various individuals are strategically coming up with innovative ideas that have effects on the economies of various countries. Entrepreneurs are known to create various types of ventures that range from lifestyle organisations to rapid growth corporations (Morris, Schindehutte & Allen, 2005, p. 730). The ventures can either be regarded to be a profit making venture, or a business that is more focused on promoting certain values in the society. The basis in which an individual takes up the entrepreneurship task depends on the motivation of the individual and the motivation that they have. There are various theories that try to define the twenty-first century entrepreneur, and these models have helped significantly in identifying the individuals who formed the basis of this research.
An Entrepreneur is someone who is creative and innovative and identifies a business opportunity or gap in the market for a new or adapted product or service. The importance of an entrepreneurial business at all levels is essential to a country’s economic development as well as wealth and employment creation within a country. To a large extent this is dependent on the entrepreneur who applies certain talents, skills and expertise in the start-up, development and growth of businesses. Entrepreneurial development is the origin of successful entrepreneurial activity, and although some entrepreneurs are born, it is possible to develop individuals into becoming entrepreneurs.
At the mercy of the development of the society, the development of the enterprise is more and more quickly. Meanwhile, the competitiveness among enterprises becomes larger than before. Why some companies can world-famous? What is entrepreneurship and why it is relevant to start-ups and established firms is my topic. I will use some famous company's examples to illustrate this topic.
Entrepreneurship is officially defined as the “capacity and willingness to develop, organise and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit.” It is a method of starting a new business, designing products or services that will be sold and launched either in the form of a product or service to make a profit. Many people, including me, assume that entrepreneurship is just coming up with a great idea and starting a new business but it could be more than just that. It is a new way to solve problems and a different or more creative approach to change the way people live by making it better, more efficient and more technological.
One of the most prevalent areas in which a small business has problems is marketing. This is due to the inability to employ a marketer to carry out marketing activities for the business. The owner-manager has a significant impact on
