Types of entrepreneurial ventures
According to Johnson (2015), entrepreneurship is the ability or enthusiasm to organize, manage and develop different ventures of a business to make the business profit and reduce several risks. As Ries (2016) notes, there are mainly three types of entrepreneurial ventures. These are a) Entrepreneurial; b) Intrapreneurs and c) Managerial.
Entrepreneurial
An individual who manages or organizes the business enterprise mainly with great advantages and solves several risks successfully is known as entrepreneurial (Aulet, 2016). The plan of the business is usually the new innovation of the business brand, services/products rather than connecting the existing model of business. The entrepreneurial targets high returns with high uncertainty levels. According to rising (2016), the entrepreneur does not focus on his/her security of career or money to develop his/her business enterprise as well as spends many times to make his/her business enterprise successful.
Intrapreneurs
According to Desouza (2015), the term “Intrapreneurship” means discovering and making innovative ideas for creating business value. Moreover, making innovative ideas and the organizations (including a self-financing organization) with the help of the presently operated entrepreneurship organizations is involved by this activity. An intrapreneur is mainly an action-oriented, self-motivated and proactive person who takes the business decisions easily within the organization’s boundaries to create new and innovative services/products. Most importantly intrapreneur is always in the comfort zone as she/he thinks that failure have not any personal cost. Then, an intrapreneur concentrates on the particular issues of the business processes instead of all issues of the business. Maximizing productivity is the particular issue of a business. As Haller (2016) notes, an intrapreneur has the capability to enterprise a number of inventive steps for allocating a good position for a business organization by creating new services/products. Moreover, Entrepreneurs always like freedom and several features that make them independent.
Managerial
The business organization manages the people within the organization to create the work completed is known as managerial. Moreover, they have mainly waged the staffs who have the ability to take the organization’s changes (Harold, 2016). Then, they are very strategic and hurry in character to manage the employees of an organization. Managerial persons are mainly liable for daily activities. On the other hand, they can believe in what way they make other people capable and know in what way they can share one thing with another (Hynes, 2015).
Explain how they relate to the typology of entrepreneurship
As Filion (2015) notes, entrepreneurs are mainly of two types which are a) Operator and b) Visionary. Moreover, entrepreneurs are four types which are a) Nomad; b) Isolated; c) Entrepreneurial and d) Notable (Marchesnay, 2016). According to Miles and Snow (2015), there are four types of entrepreneurs which are a) Innovator; b) Prospector; c) Reactor and d) Follower As Burns (2011) notes, entrepreneurs are eleven types which are a) Solo self-employed individuals; b) Team builders, c) Independent innovators etc. On the other hand, Julien (2016) stated that owner-managers are mainly two types which are a) PIG (perpetuation, independence, and growth) and b) GAP (growth, autonomy, and perpetuation). Then, as Carter (2015) notes, organizational actors are two types. All the types are applied to improve the typologies of entrepreneurship are connected to the behavior of humans. In general, entrepreneurial typologies are improved by the researchers looking for the classical types which are responding to the essential sociological rules.
A number of types will be applied to set the behavioral profile. Moreover, a type’s identification should allow several categories to be created that respond to the conditions’ logics of the organization. The several entrepreneurial types should be capable to observe the general rules and produced the unchanged in the social backgrounds. Entrepreneurial typologies can be beneficial in recognizing the capabilities essential by every type for the proficient application. Every type includes criteria set that is applied indirectly for decision-making influencing the identity process, future progress and self-awareness of an entrepreneur. Moreover, typologies can support understanding the perceptive process’s selection. They contain criteria set which indirectly affect the process of decision-making and the process of vision. The entrepreneurs and the owners of the small businesses will influence the new activities’ choice which is created by their own presence…………….
