Introduction
Over the last two decades, entrepreneurship has been amongst the fastest growing area of
economic and business interest and research all over the world. If entrepreneurship is defined as
a process of creating new and valuable things (Hisrich and Peters 1989) and if entrepreneur is
someone who perceives and exploits opportunities (Drucker 1985) then entrepreneurial process
is a major factor of economic development and the entrepreneur is the key figure of economic
growth. The growing interest in the area of entrepreneurship has developed alongside interest in
the changing role of small businesses. Statistical data and analyses of several countries show that
small ventures grow faster than large firms, and over the last decades large firms lost jobs while
small firms created new workplaces. In addition, small firms are found to be the major source of
new innovations. This increasing importance is also due to some major changes in the business
environment such as harsh global as well as local competition, sudden and unexpected alteration
of the demand, the acceleration of the technological development, and consequently, the increase
of risk. Innovation, immediate adoption and reply to changes, and entrepreneurial behavior have
become vital not only for development but also for survival of the businesses.
So we can say that Entrepreneurship development is extremely important for a countries
progress. As a developing country like Bangladesh an entrepreneur can play grand role for socioeconomic development. Bangladesh Government tries its best to make available facilitating role
for the development of Entrepreneur.
As a student of business administration it is important for us to have a better knowledge in
Entrepreneurship. For that reason we chose live biography of two entrepreneur of Sylhet city

Present condition of jewelry Business
The present condition of jewelry tread is very fragile. That due to the increase of gold price in
international market has influenced the market of Bangladesh. Consequently the tread of gold is
becoming a losing concern. The buyer of gold is losing their interest to buy jewelry according to
demand farther reason of high price. Todays market the buyer of gold is losing their eagerness.
The buyer who could effort to buy fifty gram of gold jewelry now a days he or she hesitate to
buy twenty grams of gold. Besides due to inability of common people as well as the less essential
purpose of use in gold ornaments the charm of jewelry tread is no more.

Here the graph shows that the increasing of gold price for last few years up to 2011.The price has
increased step by step from the year 2005 to 2011.But uncertainly the price has increased in a
high range. As a result the sale of gold ornaments has decreased in the market.
The fall of jewelry:
Lets turn from old scrap where jewelry is a source of supply to jewelry fabrication, which
until recent years has been a steady and reliable source of gold demand.

Gold jewelry fabrication demand reached an all-time in 1997 at 3,342 tons and, since then, has
been trending downward. This year, I expect worldwide jewelry fabrication demand will total
little more than 2,100 tons.
Much of the decline in jewelry off take has occurred since 2001 and reflects the substantial rise
in gold prices both in U.S. dollar terms and in local currencies for many important geographic
jewelry markets.
With the continuing credit crisis and global recession, demand has also been hit hard by the
collapse in retail sales, especially in the United States and Europe. In addition, and of importance
to the near-term outlook, the steep decline in fabrication has been exaggerated by the running
down of inventories on hand at manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
In general, I expect a modest recovery in worldwide jewelry demand, reflecting an improving
economic environment in some of the developing markets especially India and China and
supported also by some rebuilding of inventories . . . but this recovery will muted by the
expected rise in the metals price over the next few years.
Present position of goldsmith:
Now a days the position of goldsmith is not satisfactory in respect of their earning .The demand
of foreign made gold by latest modern technical machine has raised more than the local made
jewelry and obviously decreasing the demand of local goldsmith. The manufacturing of jewelry
is turned into less quantity due to rise of present gold price as a result in one side gold smith is
losing their job and in consideration of earning there going abroad. In our country wages of gold
smith is not sufficient in order to maintain their lively hood .The demand of Bangladeshi Gold
smith in abroad has become a competitive one
Why International Price of Gold Greatly Increased
Gold is usually tool for investors to hedge as a hedge, under normal circumstances, when the
financial crisis, international gold prices will rise sharply; crisis, when the economy resumes

growth, the international gold price increases will slow down. However, the global financial
crisis has changed to some extent, the history of the international gold price changes, track,
September 2008, when the global financial crisis and the world economy into a severe recession,
the international gold price downward trend, the end of 2008 , the lowest international price of
gold fell to 600 dollars / ounce; second half of 2009, when most countries have been out of
recession, growth in world economic recovery, the international gold prices have seen a dramatic
rise in a row within a year surpassed 1,000 U.S. dollars / ounce , 1100 U.S. dollars / ounce, $
1,200 / oz and $ 1,300 / oz mark the four integers, and create the history of the international gold
price record.
After the crisis, the process of economic recovery in the world, why international gold prices will
rise sharply it? From the current situation, mainly in the following four reasons: First, thepressure on the dollar; the second is the threat of inflation; third is the uncertainty of the recovery
process; Fourth, the international gold market supply and demand changes.
However, some economists believe that the international gold market is a bubble market,
increase the risk of investing in gold. Soros also noted that recently, investing in gold is not
absolutely safe, the price of gold rally will not last forever, because gold is a hedge against
inflation, after all goods, not the best investment products and other commodities like gold are as
rigid requirements.

commercial establishments have grown based on this industry. This tread is started from
ancient time. The tread of golden jewelry exists through traditionally dynasty. The change of
time could not alter this industry yet style of business has been altered following change

The designs of jewelries have been alerted following the demand of customers today. This
industry has involved all most 25 lacks or more than that people of our country directly andindirectly. So many people have earned their livelihood through this industry. This industry
is failed to grow a bright future up to satisfaction. The bright future of this industry is
interfered due to increased price of gold in international market, low of wages of goldsmith,
tendency of goldsmith to go abroad, to control over dishonest dealer, import of gold through
illegal way which leads deceive income tax and revenue of government, to find out the ways
of improving design and quality of gold for necessary completion with the neighboring
countries. This industry cannot yield to proper position due to want of various rules and
regulations conducted by the government.
Through Bangladesh is a depending country on import, arts and crafts of Bangladesh has
sufficient demand over the world. In that way the gold and silver jewelry can create a
probable exporting industry for all the time to come. Ti is feasible to grow more export and
create a prospective industry by the joint venture of government and dealer too.
