Abstract
Although entrepreneurship concerns a large part of the working population, contributes to the economic growth in an important way and has proved to be of interest to a great percentage of the academic world, there hasn't yet been a complete study that develops every aspect of this issue (the actors, the skills needed and the environment). "Entrepreneurship is an activity that involves the discovery, evaluation and exploitation of opportunities to introduce new goods and services, ways of organizing, markets, processes, and raw materials through organizing efforts that previously had not existed". Moreover, it is important to establish the difference between entrepreneurship as self-employment and entrepreneurship as the founding of a new business. While, for one, the action is in pursuit of making one's own profit as opposed to receiving a salary from someone else, for the other the concept of profit is less important than the idea of developing something that has never existed before
