In the area of global ecosystem positioned on the local and foreign markets it is not so easy.It is required innovative activities from entrepreneurs.

Everyone who registered the company should not be taken entrepreneur. “The entrepreneur –said The French economist Jean Baptiste Say-transfers economic resources from the area of more lower to the area of more higher productivity and greater impact.” Consequently, the entrepreneurs should consider changes as norm and as a sign of prosperity, they must be in a constant search for sources of change, to react on them and to consider them as new opportunities.

At the heart of entrepreneur s activity should be based targeted innovation strategy.Innovative activity gives a new quality to available resources to promote multiplication of wealth. Succesfull entrepreneurs try to create something useful. At the same time it is not enough for them just to improve , what already exists or to make changes. They seek to give to their innovations new, distinguishing value and turn “material” to “resources” or to combine already existing resources in new, more succesfull combination.

Existing sharp dynamics of changes of global scale in political, economic, requires from managers and employees of company more sensible flexibility to certain decisions.

We consider, that despite enormous reforms, tax system is not able to the movement of capital from the day yesterday to the day tomorrow. All hiden overheads,reducing productivity, should be revised.

In the business community doing complex tasks requires constant training and retraining. Today requires a radically new way of thinking of all levels.
