The Essentials of Entrepreneurship
(2016) emphasized that an entrepreneur
is not an innovation but an organization
builder or one who has the skill to build
an organization. Peter F. Drucker
stressed that an entrepreneur as one

opportunity. INNOVATION is the specific
tool of entrepreneurs by which they
exploit change as an opportunity for a
different business or service.
