Q. 1 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:(10)
At the part time MBA program I attended through the University, the
conversation often drifted towards new business ideas. A mobile app to schedule
text messages in the future. (Composed your best friend's happy birthday text the
day before.) The social network that doesn’t sell your personal information or
display any ads. (Business model innovation: monthly subscription fee.) Similar
conversation played out at lots of business school. With all the discussion of start-
ups and new businesses, it would seem that millennials are living the dream of
entrepreneurship.
But it seems more often than not these days, the start-up ideas fail to take
off. When I check on my peers' start-up proposals after a week, I often find that
their ideas have been abandoned, and that my classmates are focussed on their
steady corporate jobs. Research suggests entrepreneurial activity has declined
among millennials. The share of people Under 30 who own a business has fallen
two almost a quarter century low, According to a 2015 Wall Street Journal analysisof Federal reserve data. A survey of 1200 millennials conducted in 2016 by the
Economic Innovation. Group found that more millennials believed they could have
a successful career by staying at one company. Millennials are on track to be the
least entrepreneurial generation in recent history.
Some of the reasons have been well documented. The Romantic view of
entrepreneurship Involves Angel investors and venture capital funds but in fact, the
ordinary entrepreneurship is more likely to fund a start-up using personal saving.
Funding from friends and family is the next most common source but this personal
network could not help during the most recent economic downturn. Lately, though
it seems that even those who might typically have access to other forms of funding
are having a hard time getting investors' attention. There’s more competition from
abroad too.
When my classmates tell me about their start up ideas, we sometimes also talk
about what’s holding them back whether it’s student-laon payment, or the feeling
of playing an impossible game of catch up since the great Recession, we often
understand each other’s problems. Some entrepreneurs might argue that these
shared generational experiences and the accompanying sense of solidarity will
inspire millennials to help one another’s business ventures.
