Chapter 1- What is Enterpreneurship? Discuss in detail what you learned from Chapter 1. New terms, etc.

Entrepreneurship is being an entrepreneur, which can be defined as a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk. I have learned a lot from Chapter 1. I learned a vast amount of new terms in Chapter 1. Most of the new terms I learned were incorporated in my game board including, Supply and Demand, Monopoly, Free Enterprise System, The Market Structure, Equilibrium, etc. I also learned about the Entrepreneurial Start-up Process which is very interesting because no steps are known be "the most important step", they are all important. I learned how the Entrepreneur affects the economy and his/her community. I’ve learned a lot in Chapter 1 and I look forward to learning more throughout the year!

WHAT IS ECONOMICS AND HOW IS IT IMPORTANT TO ENTREPRENEURS?

Economics is the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth. Entrepreneurs are innovators, they create new goods and services, they improve existing products, and they observe an opportunity. They also provide choice, they add a variety to the market place. They also provide jobs, they hire workers for their businesses. They consume resources which supplies jobs in the industry to supply those resources. Ultimately they help the economy grow and they help the community there in grow.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PROCESS

I picked "The Enviroment" as the most important step of the Entrepreneurial Start-Up Process. I chose "The Enviroment" because no matter what kind of business you are trying to start, your enviroment is going to have a huge affect on your business. All of the other steps are a huge part of the process but "The Enviroment" is the depending factor. After you complete all  the other steps if your in an enviroment that  your product does not attract, its going to be so much harder for your business to excel. I say this because if your goods and services do not interest the type of community your in, then your products will not sell and your business is most likely to colapse.

My logo represents the culture of the Caribbean, and my restaurant "Saveurs De' Caraibes". The name of this restaurant means flavors of the Caribbean in French. I want to include all of the flavors from Latin, Creole, Jamaican and many more. I have deep roots in the Caribbean and I want to include them all in my business. I also want my family to have a part in my restaurant. I chose this logo because it really gives off that island Caribbean feel. Every country in the Caribbean is an island so it can relate to all of them. It would also give Americans that tourists feel, as if they were trying something new. The purpose of my logo is to attract customers to my restaurant and make it feel welcoming.
