What is not so well known is that [the word 'Entpreneurship'] acquired its modern economic meaning from an Irishman, the French-based banker Richard Cantillon. In Cantillon’s view the entrepreneur was someone who identified the possibility to gain from the market by buying products (at that time, agricultural products) at a certain price, and selling at a price to be determined later; the difference between these two being profit or loss. Cantillon considered the entrepreneur, therefore, to be primarily a bearer of risk."
Frank's blog is a terrific addition to the business blogging scene in Ireland and Keith Bohanna has news that he's now been joined by another County Enterprise Board CEO - Sean McKeown in Kilkenny. Sean is off to a flying start with posts explaining what CEBs actually do, tips for trading into Northern Ireland, news of the National Centre for Creativity in Kilkenny and an introduction to the Tech Check initiative -
"Tech Check is basically a mentoring service that provides small businesses with the services of a professional practitioner/adviser, who will undertake an audit of their current utilisation of information and computing technologies (ICT), and present them with a report on areas for improvement."
