| Abstract |
Abstract:<br/>Entrepreneurship is the engine of economic growth and is considered a catalytic agent for the<br/>expansion and promotion of productive activities in every sphere of economic life all over the<br/>world. It plays a significant role, in increasing employment opportunities, and innovations, and<br/>creates new products with new demand and new markets. However, the failure rate of start-up<br/>entrepreneurs can reach 90%, especially in a developing country such as Egypt. This prevents<br/>many to start their own businesses. Therefore, specific support services are essential to reduce the<br/>percentage of failure and increase the success rate. The government of Egypt is fully aware of the<br/>issue and is trying to provide the necessary support for them. However, the personal characteristics,<br/>features. and traits play a major rule for the success and sustaining of the startup businesses.<br/>In Egypt, job creation expectations and the actual growth rate of the population are not well<br/>synchronized. In addition, the number of opportunities generated is less than expected. Thus,<br/>launching and running a start-up company by an entrepreneur is a challenging and difficult job.<br/>Many of the previous studies discussed the educational, and training needs, and required funding<br/>for entrepreneurs to be able to succeed. However, there are insufficient studies in the published<br/>literature on the importance of identifying the persona of the entrepreneurs and the factors, traits,<br/>and motivations that structure the profile of a potentially successful entrepreneur.<br/>The entrepreneur that starts the business normally has a dream and believes in himself and has the<br/>passion to achieve it. The lifestyle of this entrepreneur is totally different than other “normal”<br/>people. This life might be stressful, unsecured, and risky.<br/>This dissertation identifies the significant role of entrepreneurship, which contributes heavily to<br/>the economic growth of Egypt. It has been shown that culture is one of the main motivational<br/>factors that drive entrepreneurs to success. In addition, the culture, which affects the behavior of<br/>the entrepreneurs, is considered.<br/>To achieve this objective an exhaustive literature review came out by the researcher followed by<br/>face-to-face interviews conducted with a sample of business startup working in different sectors<br/>and exerted a considerable impact on the society through employment opportunities and the<br/>economy positively or negatively. Also, online questionnaire with a validation group of startups<br/>then online questionnaire with stakeholders representatives.<br/>Structured interviews were conducted with a well-chosen 50 Egyptian entrepreneur who started<br/>their own enterprises. They were well selected to reflect the effect of their personal characteristics<br/>and traits on their achievements. They covered different sectors of the Egyptian economy such as<br/>engineering, health care, agriculture, education, and waste management products. Then, online<br/>questionnaire with a validation group of startups of 51 entrepreneur. Also, 32 stakeholders<br/>representatives for the Egyptian entrepreneurship ecosystem have answer the questionnaire with<br/>different questions to support the objective of the research.<br/>As a result of this research, a list of personal traits needs to be considered to identify the potential<br/>successful entrepreneur in Egypt.<br/>A psychometric assessment can be structured by psychometric professionals, which scratch the<br/>traits of the entrepreneurs. The assessment should reveal the degree of coherent of the traits with<br/>the results of this research. |
