A manager is confined to his job and responsibilities only. This consists the innovation qualities. But when we will think of an entrepreneur, it is full of innovation. Who are the more risk takers and innovators, they are the entrepreneurs? Anyway, the industries are the backbone of our growth, GDP and unemployment also. When an entrepreneur employs 10 workers, then we have to think how many will get benefit out of it? Answer is, if each worker has 5 members in his family, then in total 50 will get benefit out of it. And finally, you will get heartily satisfaction.

It is true that entrepreneurs and managers walk hand in hand. But I would like to add a small point. I think one aspect of importance is availability. If you give it a thought, you might know a lot of managers but very few entrepreneurs. What my point is we need More entrepreneurs than managers because we already have a lot of managers all over India? But very few entrepreneurs. Here in our country, we are taught to achieve financial security but to avoid risk. That's why we need to encourage the concept of entrepreneurship and hence we need more entrepreneurs.

I believe for both entrepreneurs and managers are must to run an organisation. Entrepreneurs because they provide opportunities, they provide jobs which are at present scenario must for the development of the country and to decrease the unemployment. On the other side, Managers are essential in every organisation. For simple understanding, I can say it's just like a food chain. If one of the animals is excluded from the chain, all food chain will be disturbed. Just like that, for smooth run of employment, jobs both entrepreneurs and managers are essential.

Hi all, Entrepreneur is a manager in itself. Manager is not something who works under some people. In the same way Entrepreneur is not some who works independently. They more probably refers to the same aspect of work- for the economic growth of the country.

An entrepreneur establishes a business and give the opportunities to managers to help him/her for the development of the country. From the current situation of our country, we need more entrepreneurs. That is correct. But the managers along with the entrepreneurs can lead to growth of the country.

Hii,

This is Shivani, and my opinion on this is that we need more entrepreneur than the manager. Because manager only manages the company and represent the client but entrepreneur stand for the changes in business plan accordingly the need of the current situation and apply different ideas to make changes in the business.

If the number of entrepreneurs present in the company then everyone one try to give their best and which one is best is choose for that and apply to the business plan. And manager represents the plan and handle all the loss and gain.

Comparing entrepreneurs with managers are similar to comparing apples and oranges. While entrepreneurs use their novel idea to make a product, a manager helps in making that product efficiently with minimum resources.

The managers are also required in conventional industries and businesses, therefore it is not entirely true that managers depend totally on entrepreneurs.

We can understand it with an example, Steve Jobs made Macintosh and apple computers but even he required managers to make these products cost effective and competitive in the market.

I would like to few more points.

Entrepreneur is fill the gap between need in the business so manager have to manage the organization here manager has to be in his boundaries so entrepreneur have both skills either management skills or entp skills because he is the owner of the company and in any uncertainty period he have to face the risk.

Even manager can take decision but ultimate choice is his higher hierarchy so manager decision is may not final choice, though entrp must have manager skills. Finally my opinion is its interdependent each roll.

Hi all,

I would like to add one different point.

Even if most of you agreed on same point that entrepreneurs help in development of the country more as compared to managers as they take risk and start the business with some innovative ideas, but we also have to look towards how many of these become successful. So even though entrepreneurs form integral part of the development of the country, there would always be need of managers to make their business efficient which would lead them to become successful. So both of them have to work hand in hand.

Hello everyone,

If we think by taking current situation in our country then yes we need more Entrepreneurs than managers. We have resources, capabilities and with an honest and corruption free government help we can bring out more entrepreneurs. We have lakhs and lakhs of managers graduating from B-schools everywhere but out of them there are handful of entrepreneurs.

In economics sense if there is less demand and more supply the value of the commodity will fall and sometimes goes wasted. So we need firms and industries in India for the managers.

We need more entrepreneurs than managers because,

1. To establish make in India project we need more innovative ideas which can be provided by them only.
2. To create more employment opportunities as by setting up industry or business.
3. To create an investment line for the foreign investor as if there are more entrepreneurs foreign investors are willing to invest their money in Indian business so as to create more FDI.
4. Without idea, we can't go forward as manager has no role to play without any business which will be set up by entrepreneurs.
