Abstract

In this era of rising rate of under-employment, job losses, and general unemployment due to the enormous negative impact of economic recession / depression, especially in the developing economies such as Nigeria; there cannot be a better time to study, learn, and teach entrepreneurship and business establishment, ownership, and operations / management than now in a bid to alleviate this impact of unemployment to the minimum possible. Hence, this is an opinion paper on the study of the entrepreneur and his / her business organisation. A descriptive research method was used, and data were collected mainly from secondary sources. And from the data collected; we studied and analysed the key and strategic areas relating to the entrepreneur and his / her business organisation such as types of businesses, functional areas of businesses, types of business ownership, business registration, and competitive strategies among others.
