Student Comments: 1. One thing that i like the most of sir Mazharul Islam is that he always
keep the student's level of understanding in mind and he teaches accordingly but that doesn't means that the rest of the teachers don’t keep this thing in mind
2. He was a good teacher, but somehow his accent is bit difficult to be understood. He tries his best to explain the material, but somehow, i think he needs to prepare more so that he wont give any misleading information
3. Sometimes I feel difficult to understand his speaking although this is not his fault. His explanation is not clear, may be this is the problem of myself.

Who is an entrepreneur?‘A person who habitually creates and innovates to build something of recognised value around perceived opportunities.’
Bolton & Thompson, 2000Entrepreneur is an innovator or developer who recognizes and grabs opportunities; convert those opportunities into marketable ideas; adds value through time, effort, money and skills and assumes the risks of the competitive marketplace to implement these ideas. Entrepreneur also called catalyst of economic change (Latest definition: Frederick& Kuratko 2010)
18
Business and social entrepreneurs … are different!Business entrepreneurs:
-are driven by the profit motive. -seek growth and profits within the business. -are constant innovators -always are trying to capture larger market shares in the competitive marketplace.-always exploit innovative venture opportunities and create new market at home and abroad.
Social entrepreneurs:-are driven by a mission to improve society-seek to find innovative ways to solve problems that can’t be addressed by either the market or the public sector.
19
Entrepreneurs and small businesses
… are also different!Small business owners often:
-operate in existing markets and never grow large-prefer a more stable and less aggressive approach to running these business.-Would rather exploit established markets
20
Characteristics of entrepreneurs • Have a clear vision (Know where they want to go).• Keep driving in pursuit of his/her goal and grow.• Spot and Exploit Opportunity (Constant awareness of the opportunities that exist in everyday life).• Don’t try to be all things, be famous for just one thing• Uniquely optimistic, committed, and dedicated (these can help entrepreneurs to overcome obstacles and
setbacks. Investors can measure these quality levels by willingness to mortgage their house, take a cut in pay, sacrifice family time and reduce their standard of living).
• Willing to take risks in order to create value (But they are not gamblers. They do everything to get the odds in their favour).
• Works creatively and innovatively to establish new resources or endow old ones with a new capacity• Do everything for the purpose of creating wealth.• Use sound judgement and planning.• Strive for integrity and reliability (these two qualities are the glue and fibre that bind successful personal
and help to build and sustain the trust and confidence).• They use failure as a tool for learning (failure for them is a learning experience that will enable them to be
even better. They don’t become disappointed, discourage, or depressed by a setback or failure).• High tolerance of ambiguity (Uncertainties are of no concern to them).• Have enough confidence in themselves (they don’t believe the success or failure of their venture will be
governed by fate, luck, or similar forces. They believe these things happen due to their own actions).• Seeking and using feedback (They have a strong desire to know how well they are doing and how they
might improve their performance. Feedback is also central to their learning from their mistakes and setbacks).
• Taking initiative and personal responsibility (They always like to take the initiative in solving problem and put themselves in situations where they are personally responsible for the success or failure of the operation)
