What are the differences between managers and entrepreneurs?

What is an entrepreneur?

The entrepreneur is someone who, individually or collectively, establishes a company, establishes objectives, and makes strategic decisions about the company's goals, management, administration, and control, while also accepting commercial and legal responsibilities.

Upper management is generally defined as executive directors, board members, board directors, and so on. They are typical "majority shareholders," or those with multiple investments or who own a business

What exactly is a manager?

A manager is in charge of an organization, institution, company, or a portion of it. The manager's role is to make the best use of the resources at his disposal to maximize their value. In other words, maximize the productivity of your organization or assigned area.

A manager is typically an employee in corporate settings, earning a set annual salary for managing daily business operations.

Managers' general responsibilities revolve around ensuring that the company's daily operations run smoothly. This does not imply that they must perform all of the specific tasks; rather, they ensure that the departments or units they supervise produce results
