Century of the entrepreneur
As you study the information in the graphic about entrepreneurial activity, try to define what that phrase means. Why do you think opinion leaders identify technology and a growing economy as the top two driving forces behind this predicted trend? Why might a two-income family be better equipped to invest in a new business venture? How do a globalized economy, static big businesses and government deregulation help facilitate an individual’s ability to start his or her own business? Do these factors heighten or reduce a person’s risk of loss? Why?
Read through USA TODAY and find a story about a person who embodies the entrepreneurial spirit. What type of business did he or she start? How successful has it been? What factors have contributed to its success or failure?
