Everybody is aware of the word entrepreneurship. But when one sits to surf the internet to hunt for a small piece of information about this multi-syllable word then he would end up finding everything related to it, other than the definition or the meaning of the two words itself. So what is global entrepreneurship? Is it the same as it sounds like, trading done on a global basis? Yeah! You’ve are almost understood the point. But let me make the understanding of global entrepreneurship more interesting for you. Turn on your televisions. Take a close look at the advertisement of the company of Cisco if its there. Or just try to recall the ad. You must have seen an entrepreneur, moving out of his house, bidding his wife goodbye and moving to America. All his way to the office he keeps telling people about it until he reaches a place where he has a video conference with some American officials. The message conveyed by the ad was that no matter wherever you are the company of Cisco makes it possible for you to communicate anywhere in the world through its advance technology. This is what is known as global entrepreneurship. Where the geographical boundaries lose their importance is what global entrepreneurship is all about.
Hence, entrepreneurship done on worldwide basis is known as the Global Entrepreneurship.

the shops of the country where you are selling the goods recently.
