Q & A from 2001 to 2014
Any enterprise needs entrepreneurs to start the enterprise and run it. It alsoneeds managers for the managerial role required for running day to dayoperations of the enterprise. Generally the Chief Executive and his team attop level play the role of entrepreneurs whereas the group of ocers in theorganisation in middle level as well as lower level plays the role of managers.A professional manager takes care of the general functions of running anorganisation such as strategic planning operation planning organising theresources stangcoordination motivation and controlling work in the
organisation. !he professional manager is driven "y a plan to achieve thepredetermined targets to "uild the organisation and develop it. A manageruses managerial tools to achieve the targets like the volume of productionthe pro#t or growth of an organisation. $e contri"utes on day to dayoperations in achieving the quality of goods produced makes ecient use ofthe resources and enhancement of the standards. A manager is appointed "ythe organisation and paid as per the employment contract. An entrepreneuris not a paid manager. $e is great motivator to start his new "usiness andalso manage it successfully. $e is the investor and takes risks in theenterprise. $e is an innovator and a manager and works for his satisfactionand he is happy to get positive results. An entrepreneur appoints a manager
for carrying out some of his functions whereas the reverse is not true. Anentrepreneur may also perform duties of a manager in getting done hiscreative activities and satisfying need of achievement. An entrepreneur takesa venture for his personal satisfaction whereas a professional manager hasfunctions like setting targets following rules procedures attainment of settargets. Any failure of an enterprise may "e a huge loss in the career of anentrepreneur. In case of professional managers the failures may mean little.
