Entrepreneurs are always innovators - Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Please state why.

Strongly agree with the statement;

Entrepreneurs are the people who have great intuitive sense with having highest level of farsightedness, does believe in boundaries hence always give out of box solutions and ideas

Yes, I utterly agree .

I can state that Entrepreneurship goes hand-in-hand with innovation  , so has the ability to produce new ideas; provide better solutions; and pioneer new products. The most successful entrepreneurs are not simply the hardest working, they’re the most innovative.

Here are ten Traits of Entrepreneurs are the Most Innovators

Yes I agree. Thanks for the invitation. 

I do believe that entrepreneurs are innovators, but I also believe that entrepreneurs run out of innovative techniques and ideas at some point. Their fuel burns out and they run out of gas. Entrepreneurs are natural innovators, they have to be. However they became an entrepreneur is due to their innovative nature. It took a creative process to get them to the point that they are now at, allowing them to pinpoint a benchmark for success. Whatever product and/or service they are offering also required innovative though processes. Now, do I believe that all innovators are entrepreneurs? No, definitely not. I know that is not the question, but I feel as though I need to implement an answer in here that addresses this so that I can complete my answer to your question.

Not all innovators are entrepreneurs because it takes a very brave and audacious to jump out into the unknown and take the plunge...to start a company with so many variables. So when you take a look at entrepreneurs that are innovators and did take the plunge into the deep end of the business pool, you have to - in a way - look at them like super heroes.They were brave and they stepped out on the ledge. 

For the most part, I'm a firm believer in the statement. However there is an exception to the rule: a natural entrepreneur can enlist the partnership of an innovator, therefore not needing to be an innovator at all but rather relying on the competencies of the innovator to guide the business down the road of success.

Thanks

Totally agree , if they are not so they are not entrepreneurs!

I am apologies to answer this question because it's not my specialist field 

Thanks for the Invite.

I do agree that entrepreneurs are Innovators. Since its what made them entrepreneurs at first place. But the degree to which they rely on innovation varies. And as mentioned by the experts Shaikha Ali Al-Sowaidi, they are natural innovators.

“The husband and wife who open another delicatessen store or another Mexican restaurant in the American suburb surely take a risk. But are they entrepreneurs? All they do is what has been done many times before. They gamble on the increasing popularity of eating out in their area, but create neither a new satisfaction nor new consumer demand. Seen under this perspective they are surely not entrepreneurs even though theirs is a new venture. McDonald’s, however, was entrepreneurship. It did not invent anything, to be sure. Its final product was what any decent American restaurant had produced years ago. But by applying management concepts and management techniques (asking, What is “value” to the customer?), standardizing the “product,” designing process and tools, and by basing training on the analysis of the work to be done and then setting the standards it required, McDonald’s both drastically upgraded the yield from resources, and created a new market and a new customer. This is entrepreneurship.”

I agree with this 100 percent!

They have the ability to use insights and turn them in a value proposition that benefits people because they understand the problem and aren't too focused on the numbers.

yes i'm agree            .
