Entrepreneurship

Jun 14, 2010 22:03

Really should explain this whole obsession with picking Entrepreneurship and what this is all about.

In short I'm studying a business degree and specialising in small business (and also accounting).

In terms of the major differences between what a commerce degree teaches and specialising in entrepreneurship means (besides sounding intelligent by saying long words! XD)

- Entrepreneurship has a larger focus on start ups and actually starting up your own business your own way, while generally business students learn about managing a business that's all up and running.

- Entrepreneurship has a bigger focus on talking to people directly and finding out what they want by listening to them one on one to find specific needs. Business often requires taking market research and looking at percentages and general opinions.

- Entrepreneurs can often dress however they like (to a reasonable extent depending on your business) and are rarely restricted to suits in comparison to their business counterparts.

- Entrepreneurship is about making fast, rapid decisions that you can instantly go ahead with in comparison with business in general which needs systems to be create and needs to run through red tape to change things around.

- Entrepreneurship is about creating a business or working in any area because you feel like it, Virgin is the perfect example (Virgin mobile, airlines, music, etc.) while business is mainly focusing on one area or goal.

So for those who thought I was selling out by going down the business path, think again.
