The word entrepreneurship is increasingly present in the lives of young students and university students, and it is normal that this topic may raise doubts, because, along with it, there are several terms used by the market that need to be better explained. Our goal is to help you, in any presentation or negotiation, to be sure to understand and debate the subject.
Next, I will present the five terms which I consider most important for those who are starting to understand this business model, but studying is still their responsibility, so you have to prepare.
