What is Entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is the vocation of an entrepreneur, or someone who assumes the risk and management of a business or enterprise. Entrepreneurship is valued in American culture and has therefore come to be applied to all manner of business activities, including situations in large corporations where the managers are not genuinely at risk but develop new ideas within an existing framework.
