Entrepreneurship ü Entrepreneurship is an economic phenomenon, a scholarly domain, and a teaching subject (Shane & Venkataram, 2000) ü Entrepreneurship is itself a multi-faceted, complex, social and economic phenomenon. (Auderetsch, 2002) ü It is a way of thinking! ü Above all it about starting a new venture 4
