CSEET · Economic and Business Environment · Entrepreneurship Scenario

Which of the following is NOT generally treated as a characteristic of entrepreneurship?

Guaranteed profit with no uncertainty is not a characteristic of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship inherently involves uncertainty and risk, so returns are not assured. Calculated risk taking, innovation and recognising opportunities while mobilising resources are accepted characteristics of entrepreneurial activity.

  2. BWillingness to take calculated risks
  3. CInnovation in products or processes
  4. DOpportunity recognition and resource mobilisation

Entrepreneurship involves uncertainty, so profit is never guaranteed. Calculated risk taking, innovation and opportunity recognition are standard characteristics. Hence the option claiming guaranteed profit with no uncertainty is the incorrect one.
