Schumpeter determines that the innovation made in the business is highly dependent on the economic, historical, social and other factors which have a great impact on the process of the company. Moreover, technologically and economically the product needs to be efficient so that it can gather with large number of customers. In addition to this, Schumpeter also has stated that with the invention or innovation of some products they are indulged with mainly two types of risks. The former ones is risk related to the technical failure in the production and the later one means risk related to commercial failure. Thus, when the mobile phones are been developed there is an high degree of risk that the product may function properly and do not cause harm to anyone. Further, the commercial risk means that company is not able to attract the customers for buying the products. Thus these two risks will ultimately decrease the profit and sales of the company.

They bring the latest technology in different forms. For an instance, in the early times of radio engineering, the idea of handheld cell phone was developed. However, with the assistance of the entrepreneurship the standard of living of general people has tended to enhance. There are several instances of the entrepreneurship that are explained further. For an instance, it is seen that in the year 1917 Eric Tigerstedt an inventor filed with patent for the introduction of pocket size telephone.  In addition to this, entrepreneurship remained crucial for the creation of smart phones in 2009, there was a great invention of smartphones which were totally different from the previous generation phones. They were having touchscreen and 3G and   4G network in them. Moreover, the resolution of the camera was increased which provided with high quality pictures. The battery of the phone was also developed and provided high power source to the people which means they can use it for longer time period. Moreover, the facility of dual SIM was also launched. This means that the person can have two network connections in one cell. This was highly beneficial for the people as they can keep there corporate and personal number together.
