Difference between Entrepreneur and Manager

• Motive: The main motive of an entrepreneur is to start a venture by setting up an enterprise.

He understands the venture for his personal gratification. But, the main motive of a manager is to render his services in an enterprise already set up by someone else.

• Status: An entrepreneur is the owner of the enterprise. A manager is the servant in the

enterprise owned by the entrepreneur.

• Risk-bearing: An entrepreneur being the owner of the enterprise assumes all risks and

uncertainty involved in running the enterprise. A manager as a servant does not bear any risk involved in the enterprise.

• Objectives: An entrepreneur and a manager differ in their objectives. Entrepreneur’s

objective is to innovate and create and he acts as a change agent. where as a manager’s objective is to supervise and create routines. He implements the entrepreneur’s plans and ideas.

• Rewards: The rewards an entrepreneur gets for bearing risks involved in the enterprise is

profit which is highly uncertain. A manager gets salary as rewards for the services rendered by him in the enterprise. Salary of a manager is certain and fixed.

• Fraudulent behavior: An entrepreneur is not induced to involve in fraudulent

behavior where as a manger does. A manager may cheat by not working hard because his income is not tied up to the performance of the organization

• Innovation: Entrepreneur himself thinks over what and how to produce goods to meet the changing demands of the customers. Hence, he acts as an innovator also called ‘change agent’. But, what a manager does is simply to execute the plans

prepared by the entrepreneur. Thus, a manager simply translates the entrepreneur’s ideas into practice.

• Qualification: An entrepreneur needs to posses qualities and qualifications like high

achievement motive, originality in thinking, risk-bearing ability and so on. On the contrary, a manager needs to posses distinct qualifications in terms of sound knowledge in management theory and practice.

• “An entrepreneur could be a manager but a manager cannot be an entrepreneur”. An entrepreneur is intensely dedicated to develop business through constant

innovation. He may employ a manager in order to perform some of his functions such as setting objectives, policies, rules etc. A manager cannot replace an

entrepreneur in spite of performing the allotted duties because a manager has to work as per the guidelines laid down by the entrepreneur. On the downside, typical manager brings professionalism into working of an organization. They bring fresh perspectives, ideas and approach to trouble shooting which can be invaluable.
