Entrepreneurs are willing to take risks to bring a product or service to market. Some of the world’s largest companies were started by entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs have a significant impact on the economy of the United States and the world. Entrepreneurs protect their ideas by applying for a patent from the United States government. Entrepreneurs flourish in a free market system, one in which an individual’s success is dictated by demand on the part of the consumer, not the government. Being an entrepreneur requires a unique idea, passion, and hard work to bring it to fruition. Social entrepreneurship includes nonprofit organizations as well as for-profit companies that focus on impacting society in a positive way. An entrepreneur may start a business based on a new idea or expand an existing brand by buying a franchise. EXERCISES 1. Watch this video interview with Joe Kennedy, CEO of Pandora (the online personalized music Web site), to see how the company started and evolved:http://www.entrepreneur.com/video/index.html.

Review the list of Entrepreneur magazine’s fastest-growing franchises:http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/rankings/fastestgrowing-115162/2009,.html.
