Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurship is regarded as a process of opportunity, discovery, and alertness. In dynamic contexts, the enterprise or enterprising individuals need to make a proactive action on promising entrepreneurial opportunities. Shane and Venkataraman (2000) state that entrepreneurship “involves the processes of discovery evaluation, and exploitation of profitable opportunities,” thus, entrepreneur-ship can be considered a series of activities that include identifying opportunity; assessing and exploring; and delivering new products, services, governance structure, marketing methods, procedures, and materials to clients or markets that have not existed before.
