The three terms describe different aspects of the same activity:
| Term | Nature | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Entrepreneur | Person | The individual who identifies an opportunity, organises resources and bears risk |
| Entrepreneurship | Process/activity | The act of setting up and running an enterprise — spotting an opportunity, arranging resources and accepting risk |
| Enterprise | Unit/organisation | The business that is brought into existence and operated |
In short, the entrepreneur carries out entrepreneurship, and the result of that process is the enterprise. The relationship is: person → process → unit.
✓Final answer
An entrepreneur is the person, entrepreneurship is the process he or she performs, and the enterprise is the business unit that results — a person who does entrepreneurship and thereby creates an enterprise.
