Recommended: Critical analysis of SWOT analysis

Globalization is one world; people from across different nations interacting and relating with each other in a way and manner that spelt speed, increase innovation, improve economy, motivate, and enrich cultural, technological, political, and social environment. An Entrepreneur is a ‘risk-taker’; He or She looks out for opportunity and uses his or her creativity and initiative to create a solution. Making a product or service that fulfill a need (gives value) at just the right time is an opportunity recognition (Robert & Barley, 2005). Competition among business organizations have been fierce – thanks to Globalization. For this reason, an entrepreneur must be daring, creative, honest, perseverance, have high need for achievement and most of all, sees failure as an opportunity to learn to do it better next time (wikibooks).
Brunt Hotels Group as a giant Entrepreneur recognizes an opportunity in France and decided to take the bull by the horn – acquire a small hotel chain. This investment added to the 60 hotels owned in the United Kingdom. Their decision after the acquisition of the hotel chain in France was to use half of the revenue to retain and rebrand the Brunt Hotels Group and the other half would be sold to maintain and support the strategic objectives of growth. The small hotel chain has lots of facilities to attract customers; they are clean and at competitive price. They are also situated at Downtown where easy access to mass transit bus is available. Brunt Hotels Group has a five-year plan which is to own 150 hotels and a 10-year plan; to own 300 hotels. To this, they decided to recruit home country managers to oversee the business activities of the small hotel chain just acquired in France. However, the Hotel...

  • Top Earners in The World Are Entrepreneurs

    2759 Words  | 6 Pages

    Entrepreneurs exist due to consumers wanting something new and relevant, which will also make an impact in the market place. Entrepreneurship is about individuals recognizing a need for a commercial application and being able to innovate their ideas to meet the needs of the consumer (Baron & Shane, 2008). On average, there are over 1400 billionaires in the world, and of those 960 are entrepreneurs who were successful, while the rest were fortunate to inherit their wealth (Vital, 2013). If we focus on the 960 and how they made their fortune we find out they became billionaires from either a single or multiple business ventures. The majority of the 960, which equates to 830, owned more than one business, and remaining 130 managed only one company. Therefore, the most top earning entrepreneurs in the world are most likely to be serial entrepreneurs, and being very successful innovating ideas that consumers like (Vital, 2013). Entrepreneurship is essential for the global economy and the success of future growth in small and large business as they exploit the need for new services and products. The growth within entrepreneurship will also drive employment growth and hopefully stabilize the global economy by increasing wealth in the middle class.
