Entrepreneurship activities are viewed from broad perspective throughout the world. Different nations defined entrepreneurship from different dimension based on their need and mind set. Recently, there is an emerging trend in entrepreneurship. Beside the traditional entrepreneurship which is also known as conventional entrepreneurship, innovation in information technology has shown the emergence of internet based entrepreneurship which is also known as cyber entrepreneurship. The cyber entrepreneur creates a firm that is basically established upon the electronic commerce (e-business start-up), and whose core activities are based on exploring networks using Internet technologies. Literatures on cyber-entrepreneurship are relatively new in the academic world. This dimension of research is still at its emerging stage and recently it started to capture the researchers’ attention around the globe and it has also opened a research gap to be fulfilled by researchers. This paper intends to introduce various dimensions and terms used in entrepreneurship, especially the different dimensions of cyber entrepreneurship. It is hoped that based on the terms discussed in this paper, further studies would be made by the researchers to explore other research areas relating to cyber entrepreneurship.
