of the entrepreneur is taken into account – as a carrier of entrepreneurial idea and source of entrepreneurship development, entrepreneurial activity – as a purposeful activity of the entrepreneur, entrepreneurship – as a result of their integration. The term «entrepreneurship development” has been updated, which covers qualitative changes in entrepreneurship as a process that has different levels, importance, impact and direction of consequences, which in some way cover innovation, social, economic, technological, scientific and environmental spheres, as well as phenomena, which has key compo...

Entrepreneurship is one of the ways to create growth, well-being, and wealth in an economy. Throughout this work, the concept of entrepreneurship is analyzed, as well as the traditional and modern theories of entrepreneurship by following an economic, sociological, and psychological perspective. As a result, the following approaches are briefly examined: Economic-based Theories of Entrepreneurship (Neoclassical, New Keynesian, and Ordoliberal), Sociological and Psychological-based Theories of Entrepreneurship, and New Approaches of Entrepreneurship (The Theory of Effectuation, The Feedback Loo...

In this paper, we reconsider the various states of rest within Austrian market process theory. While this theory certainly embodies a superior representation of market processes to the neoclassical general equilibrium theory, it falls short of producing a holistic theory of human action. The analysis left out those human actions that produce changes to the so-called ‘final state of rest,’ which have so far been taken as exogenous to the market process. These exogenous shocks include knowledge generation and preference shifting. However, I argue that these can and ought to be understood as mark...

What is entrepreneurship? What is the correct approach to becoming self employed, and running my own business?

It is widely acknowledged that the field of entrepreneurship lacks a single unified and accepted definition for the term “entrepreneurship”. This article analyzes the different theoretical roots of 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...

The director of the MIT Media Lab, Joi Ito, shares his ideas about entrepreneurship learning, finding the right people, and navigating failure with grace.

The issues state leaders from across the political spectrum can agree on are rare, but the promotion and cultivation of homegrown entrepreneurs might just be one of them. State leaders know entrepreneurs not only create jobs, but also contribute to an increase in wages and standards of living. But bringing a new product or service to market can be a daunting prospect for innovators, from gaining access to capital to navigating the legal and regulatory landscape. In this webinar, experts in entrepreneurship discuss how state policies can either hinder or foster that entrepreneurial spirit based...

Entrepreneurship is an integral part of economic change and growth. Yet until recently it has been largely neglected by economists. In The Economics of Entrepreneurship, Simon C. Parker draws on theoretical insights and recent empirical findings to show how economics can contribute to our understanding of entrepreneurship. The book is based on an earlier work, The Economics of Self-employment and Entrepreneurship (Cambridge, 2004), that has quickly become an essential reference for academics researching the economics of entrepreneurship. Written in a more accessible style, this book contains m...

This paper investigates the degree of  current empirical evidence that  can communally and systematically authenticate the claim that entrepreneurship has important economic value. A systematic assessment is provided that can  answer the contribution of entrepreneurs to the economy in contrast to non-entrepreneurs? We study the comparative contribution of entrepreneurs to the economy based on four measures that have most widely been studied empirically. Hence, we answer the question: What is the contribution of entrepreneurs to (i) employment creation and dynamics, (ii) innovativeness and (iii...

Well, someone can decide by themselves what they want to do and need to do but sometimes, that kind of person will need some the culture of entrepreneurship references. People with open minded will always try to seek for the new things and information from many sources. On the contrary, people with closed mind will always think that they can do it by their principals. So, what kind of person are you?

The global COVID-19 pandemic has created opportunities for the emergence of new entrepreneurial innovations.

An analysis of current extant literature was explored, and cogent findings were used to develop a theoretical framework for entrepreneurial innovation in...

people are of necessity critical players in that effort. It follows, then, that to participate fully in the mission of national renewal, higher education should make studies in entrepreneurship broadly available to its students. The Launch Pad, a novel entrepreneurship initiative developed at the University of Miami (UM), aims to address that goal. The Launch Pad has two fundamental aims: to open entrepreneurship studies to all UM undergraduates, and to encourage and enable them to start new ventures in South Florida. The Launch Pad achieves these aims by treating entrepreneurship as a mainstr...

The COVID-19 Health Crisis has resulted in great changes not only in health matters, but it has also been the determining factor for a change in economic activities worldwide. The loss of more than 12 million jobs, only in Mexico, forced the population to look for alternatives to generate economic income; In this sense, it was women who quickly and effectively found a solution through the use of social networks to sell products and services and bring livelihoods to their homes. It is estimated that today, 13 million mexican households depend on the income generated by these groups of women.In ...

This paper explores how undergraduate students make sense of the mixed array of images they encounter in the educational process. If courses are aimed at encouraging undergraduates to ‘become more entrepreneurial’ it is useful to know how participating students perceive the confusing array of images, activities and identities prevalent in the university setting and how this is influenced by the entrepreneurship discourse overall. Through a social constructionist stance, this paper reports how a group of 93 undergraduates made sense of ‘entrepreneurship’ during their progress through a final-ye...
