Abstract

Entrepreneurship which is one of the important factors of agility in the development of the country can be defined as either “an attempt to set up a new business” or “an attempt to let business gain a new dimension”. Sustainability of the enterprise will be much easier in the case necessary attempts are taken by considering the competitive advantage in each definition.

Entrepreneurship has been used as a medium of measurement to define the development level of the countries. The development level of a country has not been measured by the technology employed in the country but by number of Entrepreneurs.

If innovation and R & D are of much focus and if “qualified entrepreneurship” can be developed based on these two parameters, local and national development will speed up.

Types of Entrepreneurship;

• Women Entrepreneurship,
• Social Entrepreneurship
• Industrial Entrepreneurship
• Digital Entrepreneurship,
• Green or Environmentally Friendly Entrepreneurship,

Also, it is possible to classify it under more names depending on targeted aims.

This paper aims to study the effects of the Entrepreneurship training covering R&D and innovation on local development by intensifying on competitive business management.
