External motivational factors include the aspiration to earn more money, exploiting available opportunities and resources and, enhancing personal status and growth. The study findings showed internal factors that motivate entrepreneurship that include the desire to do something new, quest for personal independence and need for achievement and recognition, dissatisfaction with paid jobs and dead-end career prospects. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. A sample of one hundred (100) entrepreneurs operating within the transport, retail and educational sectors based in Harare were interviewed using a self-administered questionnaire. The entrepreneurial phenomena and its attendant characteristics is investigated from the pre-to the post-independence era. There has been phenomenal growth in entrepreneurial activities over the past decade as the informal sector eclipsed formal in terms of employment numbers as the Zimbabwean economy continued to decline. This section provides the schedule of course topics, descriptions of each lecture, a list of guests, and the lecture notes used for each session of the course. This study investigates the factors that motivate entrepreneurship and the nature of the relationship between internal and external factors that influence individuals to engage in entrepreneurial activities in Zimbabwe. It is hoped that the proposed lexicon will contribute to a shared foundational terminology for the field of entrepreneurship that will make sense to both academics and practitioner entrepreneurs. This article started as the author's own quest to make sense of the entrepreneurship literature. A wide array of sub‐ domain terms is thus organized into a lexicon that can be used to describe the different aspects of entrepreneurship. The sub‐domains that arise from different theories are organized into a coherent lexicon using simple classification taxonomy. What were previously viewed as contradictory definitions can now be seen to describe complementary lexicon terms or " sub‐ domains " of entrepreneurship such as " corporate entrepreneurship ", " social entrepreneurship " or " opportunity entrepreneurship ". Not surprisingly, different theories resulted in a conflicting array of definitions describing entrepreneurship in terms of dynamic change, new combinations, exploiting opportunities, innovation, price arbitrage, risk, uncertainty, ownership, new venture formation, non‐control of resources, asymmetries of information, superior decision‐making, personality traits, monopoly formation or something else. This article analyzes the different theoretical roots of entrepreneurship. It is widely acknowledged that the field of entrepreneurship lacks a single unified and accepted definition for the term " entrepreneurship ".
