The era of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, disruptive innovation, and environmental dynamics poses a unique challenge to leaders of entrepreneurial business ventures as they seek to achieve superior competitive advantage for their firms in a global marketplace. The challenge doesn’t only stem from domestic and international competitors but also from other external sources such as man-made and natural disasters that are beyond the control of entrepreneurs or business leaders. While entrepreneurs seek to establish innovative, growth-oriented, and competitive ventures, business managers, on the other hand, pursue tasks to ensure the survival, profitability, and sustainability of business firms.
Entrepreneurship and the management of entrepreneurial companies are comprised of interrelated activities and disciplines. Entrepreneurship and its management are fascinating subjects because they perform critical functions in society and occur within all industries, economic sectors, and countries. Entrepreneurs with strong managerial and leadership skills are likely to be highly successful in their endeavors.
