The word entrepreneurship literally means “to take or carry between” in the sense of an economic transaction; to be a market-maker.
A rich and multidimensional group of entrepreneurship theories and concepts are continuously evolving. The theories differ based on economic, psychological, sociological, anthropological, managerial or ecological perspectives. The concepts also differ based on (a) an entrepreneur - individual actor in the market, (b) entrepreneurial - behaviour in the market, (c) entrepreneurship - combines the actor (entrepreneur) and the behaviour in the market, (d) entrepreneurial process - combines times dimension and behaviour in the market (Markku Virtanen (1997).

If you want to know the true advantages of being entrepreneurs, drive around to all the rich areas in your country, and all the big houses are owned by people who have their own businesses. So when you are an entrepreneur, you make a lot of money. We know that, that's the obvious thing. But there are other reasons, other than money.People enter into business because they can make a difference in the world. Bill Gates made a difference, if you don't believe me, turn on your laptop and you will see windows show up. If you want to make a contribution to society, some entrepreneurs have used their money to make a difference in this world. Arthur Lock Jack for instance, he donated 20M Dollars (he is a food entrepreneur in Trinidad) to the Institute of Business, which is U.W.I, and they changed the name to the Arthur Lok Jack School of business. I mean I would change my name for 20M also, right? And if you want to make the world a better place, you can also donate your money

 The word entrepreneur originates from the French: "entre" - to enter and "prende" - to take. The word entrepreneurship literally means “to take or carry between” in the sense of an economic transaction; to be a market-maker. 'Entrepreneur' is subject to a wide range of interpretations, from individuals of very high aptitude who pioneer change, to anyone wanting to work for him/her-self. Entrepreneurs re viewed differently from ordinary business persons who mainly perform traditional management functions, such as, planning, organization and coordination. They are also a subset of those described as 'the self-employed'.
Markku Virtanen (1997) observed that "a rich and multidimensional group of entrepreneurship theories and concepts are continuously evolving. The theories differ based on economic, psychological, sociological, anthropological, managerial or ecological perspectives. The concepts also differ based on (a) an entrepreneur - individual actor in the market, (b) entrepreneurial - behaviour in the market, (c) entrepreneurship - combines the actor (entrepreneur) and the behaviour in the market, (d) entrepreneurial process - combines times dimension and behaviour in the market"
