Entrepreneurship is the most important instrument of social and economic development. It is because of this reason it is remarked that developing countries are not underdeveloped but undermanaged. It is true of Japan. About a century ago Japan was considered as an underdeveloped country. Thanks to the rapid progress made by Management science, now Japan is regarded as one of the most advanced countries of the world. Increasing production and productivity is the need of the hour. These are dependent upon physical factors or natural resources of a country and its human resource. However, the resources capable of enlargement can only be human resource. All other resources stand under the laws of mechanics. They can be better utilised or worse utilised but they can never have an output greater than the sum of the inputs. Man alone of all the resources available to man, can grow and develop if properly directed and motivated. In line with this thinking, there has been a revolutionary change in management philosophy. He (man) is potentially creative, trustworthy and co-operative. He is also considered to possess the potential for growth, achievement and constructive action with others. It is the job of the management to nurture and tap employee’s productive drives. Entrepreneurship, therefore, hold the key to the economic development of a nation. It is because of this reason the U.G.C.’s Unified Syllabus has included the study of business management subject in almost every course in business and management disciplines, be it B. Com., M. Com., B.B.A. or M.B.A., C.A.C.S., C.W.A. and so on. The author has tried to explain the subject in the most simple language. Extensive use of charts, pictures and diagrams has been made to explain and illustrate the difficult concepts and Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship. Important questions asked in the examinations conducted by various universities and professional institutes have been given at the end of each chapter.
