Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An entrepreneur is a person who assumes the responsibility and risk for a business operation with the expectation of making a profit. A capitalist is a person who invests money in a business or project in order to earn a profit, but may not necessarily be responsible for the operation of the business. An owner may or may not be an entrepreneur, as ownership alone does not imply a willingness to take on risk or responsibility. A manager is responsible for overseeing the operations of a business or team, but may not necessarily have a financial stake in the success of the business.
