Three businessmen are listed below (along with a brand name with which they are often associated provided to help you identify the correct person):
Shai Agassi (Better Place)
Donald J. Trump (Trump International Hotel & Tower)
Oprah Winfrey (Oprah Winfrey Network)
1. Research the backgrounds of all three and explain whether or not they are entrepreneurs.
2. Choose ONE of the three, research his achievements and explain whether any of his or her achievements fit one or more of the models of the entrepreneurial process. Are any factors in the process missing? If so what are they and does this matter in explaining whether he engages in entrepreneurship?
I have chosen Donald J. Trump for this case assignment but I'm having difficulty analyzing the background materials (Listed below). I'm not looking for someone to write my paper for me, I'm just looking for direction on the case. I think two pages of help would be sufficient. Any help would be greatly appreciated
