Digital conference & 500 word abstract. The position of a drug dealer as an entrepreneur has always been the center of the debate, where a number of researches were conducted to find out the real status of the drug dealer in the corporate world. The main reason that has always caused this issue to be the center of debate in the drug supply market is the fact that there have been a number of cases in the market with regards to drug trafficking and self-employment of the entrepreneurs in this field. (Gains and Kremling, 2013)

Although this question regarding the two being interrelated or not, still there are a very few researches conducted in this field and very few cases have been discussed latterly. Most of the previous research was based on drug dealers themselves claiming to be the owners or the entrepreneurs. Two of the previous studies conducted by Adler (1993) and Fairlie (2002) were of the opinion that in most of the cases, it is the drug dealer who liked him to be known as the entrepreneur of his drug supply business.
