Executive Summary

Introduction
The aim and objective of this report is to get the reader engaged with meaning of entrepreneurship, entrepreneur and Intraprenuer.

In addition, if you want long term success you will need to create a business idea that will solve the problems of that market and meet the needs of the customers
