  1. Dr I appreciate your presentation your presentation shows that from the total entrepreneurs 71% are adopting businesses ideas from other people I think this shows that from peoples that have an entrepreneur idea 71% are not transforming their idea to practice. So I think it is important collaborating peoples who have entrepreneurial ideas with peoples who have entrepreneur skill of changing ideas to practice and helping those peoples to have the skill of changing ideas to practice.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST!

  2. Hello Dr. your topic is very interesting. It gives sense because 71% is a significant number. What are the reasons for not transforming their idea in to practice? The other thing is does Entrepreneurship contributes to economic development or Economic development in turn encourages entrepreneurship. People may debate on this. In my understanding up to this time I believe Entrepreneurship contributes to economic development. To agree or not to agree May I read the complete presentation?

  3. @Damena , I agree that entrepreneurship help economic development and also economic development encourages more entrepreneurship. This relationship may not be debatable as there are empirical evidences. What is often debatable is determining the casual (the cause-and -effect) relationship between them. is economic development is the cause for more entrepreneurship or is more entrepreneurship brings about economic development.

  4. Dear Doctor, genuinely speaking your presentation regarding with things that matters entrepreneurs in successfully executing business ideas, the truth about Ethiopian entrepreneurs, their opportunities and obstacles was so amazing and really fantastic. Therefore, as to me the concerned body has to grant an immense weight for your presentations/idea and through go through it accordingly.

  5. Dr, I agree for the statement that successful entrepreneurs are not necessarily innovative. Most of entrepreneurs are interested to have idea from others than themselves; this specify us that they are more confidential and believe in others. But,if entrepreneurs do in such way, contribution to economic development will might be low even if they can be successful. Because,in my view, innovative is a grass root pillar to economic development.However, the others, that from where most entrepreneurs have idea are innovative or not as question.

  6. What comes to my mind when I read Dr’s Presentation is; why are we suffering to survive and be competent in this most dynamic and changing world or why are we governed in the principle of Charles Darwin’s survival of the fittest. Rather let’s enjoy the benefit of socialism. You know why, though we avoid socialism due to the many disadvantages it has we can’t escape them. if people are not innovative but successful in the business lets share the success together .I know it seems odd and discouraging to be innovative but it is the truth.
