    Introduction

    Over the last two decades, entrepreneurship has been amongst the fastest growing area of

    economic and business interest and research all over the world. If entrepreneurship is defined as

    a process of creating new and valuable things (Hisrich and Peters 1989) and if entrepreneur is

    someone who perceives and exploits opportunities (Drucker 1985) then entrepreneurial process

    is a major factor of economic development and the entrepreneur is the key figure of economic

    growth. The growing interest in the area of entrepreneurship has developed alongside interest in

    the changing role of small businesses. Statistical data and analyses of several countries show that

    small ventures grow faster than large firms, and over the last decades large firms lost jobs while

    small firms created new workplaces. In addition, small firms are found to be the major source of

    new innovations. This increasing importance is also due to some major changes in the business

    environment such as harsh global as well as local competition, sudden and unexpected alteration

    of the demand, the acceleration of the technological development, and consequently, the increase

    of risk. Innovation, immediate adoption and reply to changes, and entrepreneurial behavior have

    become vital not only for development but also for survival of the businesses.

    So we can say that Entrepreneurship development is extremely important for a countries

    progress. As a developing country like Bangladesh an entrepreneur can play grand role for socioeconomic development. Bangladesh Government tries its best to make available facilitating role

    for the development of Entrepreneur.

    As a student of business administration it is important for us to have a better knowledge in

    Entrepreneurship. For that reason we chose live biography of two entrepreneur of Sylhet city

    Present condition of jewelry Business

    The present condition of jewelry tread is very fragile. That due to the increase of gold price in

    international market has influenced the market of Bangladesh. Consequently the tread of gold is

    becoming a losing concern. The buyer of gold is losing their interest to buy jewelry according to

    demand farther reason of high price. Todays market the buyer of gold is losing their eagerness.

    The buyer who could effort to buy fifty gram of gold jewelry now a days he or she hesitate to

    buy twenty grams of gold. Besides due to inability of common people as well as the less essential

    purpose of use in gold ornaments the charm of jewelry tread is no more.

    Figure: The increasing position the price of gold

    Here the graph shows that the increasing of gold price for last few years up to 2011.The price has

    increased step by step from the year 2005 to 2011.But uncertainly the price has increased in a

    high range. As a result the sale of gold ornaments has decreased in the market.

    The fall of jewelry:

    Lets turn from old scrap where jewelry is a source of supply to jewelry fabrication, which

    until recent years has been a steady and reliable source of gold demand.

  • 7/29/2019 Live Biography of Two Entrepreneur of Sylhet City

    19/30

    Gold jewelry fabrication demand reached an all-time in 1997 at 3,342 tons and, since then, has

    been trending downward. This year, I expect worldwide jewelry fabrication demand will total

    little more than 2,100 tons.

    Much of the decline in jewelry off take has occurred since 2001 and reflects the substantial rise

    in gold prices both in U.S. dollar terms and in local currencies for many important geographic

    jewelry markets.

    With the continuing credit crisis and global recession, demand has also been hit hard by the

    collapse in retail sales, especially in the United States and Europe. In addition, and of importance

    to the near-term outlook, the steep decline in fabrication has been exaggerated by the running

    down of inventories on hand at manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.

    In general, I expect a modest recovery in worldwide jewelry demand, reflecting an improving

    economic environment in some of the developing markets especially India and China and

    supported also by some rebuilding of inventories . . . but this recovery will muted by the

    expected rise in the metals price over the next few years.

    Present position of goldsmith:

    Now a days the position of goldsmith is not satisfactory in respect of their earning .The demand

    of foreign made gold by latest modern technical machine has raised more than the local made

    jewelry and obviously decreasing the demand of local goldsmith. The manufacturing of jewelry

    is turned into less quantity due to rise of present gold price as a result in one side gold smith is

    losing their job and in consideration of earning there going abroad. In our country wages of gold

    smith is not sufficient in order to maintain their lively hood .The demand of Bangladeshi Gold

    smith in abroad has become a competitive one

    Why International Price of Gold Greatly Increased

    Gold is usually tool for investors to hedge as a hedge, under normal circumstances, when the

    financial crisis, international gold prices will rise sharply; crisis, when the economy resumes

  • 7/29/2019 Live Biography of Two Entrepreneur of Sylhet City

    20/30

    growth, the international gold price increases will slow down. However, the global financial

    crisis has changed to some extent, the history of the international gold price changes, track,

    September 2008, when the global financial crisis and the world economy into a severe recession,

    the international gold price downward trend, the end of 2008 , the lowest international price of

    gold fell to 600 dollars / ounce; second half of 2009, when most countries have been out of

    recession, growth in world economic recovery, the international gold prices have seen a dramatic

    rise in a row within a year surpassed 1,000 U.S. dollars / ounce , 1100 U.S. dollars / ounce, $

    1,200 / oz and $ 1,300 / oz mark the four integers, and create the history of the international gold

    price record.

    After the crisis, the process of economic recovery in the world, why international gold prices will

    rise sharply it? From the current situation, mainly in the following four reasons: First, thepressure on the dollar; the second is the threat of inflation; third is the uncertainty of the recovery

    process; Fourth, the international gold market supply and demand changes.

    However, some economists believe that the international gold market is a bubble market,

    increase the risk of investing in gold. Soros also noted that recently, investing in gold is not

    absolutely safe, the price of gold rally will not last forever, because gold is a hedge against

    inflation, after all goods, not the best investment products and other commodities like gold are as

    rigid requirements.
