In an Ownership/Entrepreneurship SAE, who owns the enterprise and makes management decisions?

• A. The student
• B. The school
• C. A mentor
• D. The government

Answer: (A)

Ownership and management decisions in an Ownership/Entrepreneurship SAE are held by the student. This type of experience is designed so the student designs, operates, and evaluates an agricultural enterprise, making key decisions about products, production methods, budgeting, pricing, and marketing. The school provides supervision, resources, and a safe learning environment, but does not own the enterprise. A mentor offers guidance and support, yet ownership and day-to-day control remain with the student. The government does not own the enterprise in this context.
