The first view is from James V. Koch, a board of visiting professor of economics and president emeritus at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, who believe that entrepreneurs are born. His research has shown that critical personality characteristics such as willingness to take risks and the ability to tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty are heritable in his respondent up to 60 percent. In addition he said that the most important thing is to look at the existence of the ability to take risks. He also said that basic biological evidence suggests that there are the existing factors which can triggers someone to be an entrepreneur.

Next, the second view is propounded by Julian Lange is a senior professor of entrepreneurship at Babson College in Wellesley, Mass who believe entrepreneurs are made. He said that his research had shown that two thirds from the 4000 alumni of whom taking core elective courses on entrepreneurship had been affected positively to be entrepreneurs in their future undertaking.
