RATIONALE
Entrepreneurial success depends
on many factors largely revolving around the entrepreneur’s own set of actions
and reactions to his environment. An
entrepreneur must be able to see and act on opportunities, plan and make
decisions. He has to work well under
conditions of conflict, change and ambiguity.
He must be able to set clear goals and must be future oriented. Most of all, he must know a great deal about
himself and his environment.
To be effective, the entrepreneur
should also be aware of his own potentials.
Ultimately, his success will depend on his commitment to continuous
professional growth and personal development.
