What Is the Difference Between Entrepreneurship and Business Management?
TL;DR: Entrepreneurship centers on building new ventures from the ground up, while Business Management focuses on leading teams and improving performance within established organizations.
Entrepreneurship programs prepare students to create something new—identifying problems, validating ideas, developing products or services, acquiring customers, and adapting quickly based on market feedback. The work is often ambiguous and fast-changing, and success is measured by traction, revenue growth, and sustainability. Business Management programs prepare students to operate within existing organizations, focusing on supervising teams, managing budgets, improving processes, and executing strategy within defined structures. Managers are typically measured on efficiency, team performance, and business outcomes. Choose Entrepreneurship if you thrive in uncertainty and want to build and grow your own venture; choose Business Management if you prefer leading people and improving operations inside an established company.
