ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: To date, economics has failed to develop a useful theory of entrepreneurship because of its inability to break out of the static equilibrium framework and the modeling of success/failure as a 0-1 variable. Entrepreneurship research also has not achieved this task due to its preoccupation with the quest for "the successful entrepreneur" and/or the successful firm. This essay calls for a new vocabulary for entrepreneurship, consisting of (1) a plural notion of the entrepreneurial process as a stream of successes and fail- ures, wherein failure management beco...

An article published in Newsweek in 1999 posed the following intriguing question: Can Extrapreneurship become a buzzword? Expectations at the time were high: the related concepts of ‘entrepreneurship’ (=starting one’s own company) and ‘intrapreneurship’ (=starting up new business activities within a larger company) had already become part and parcel of many management courses and MBA programmes, so why wouldn’t ‘extrapreneurship’ become equally popular? Extrapreneurship is associated above all with starting up a business from an existing (parent) company in the form of an independent spin-off ...

Purpose In entrepreneurship education there are different interpretations of entrepreneurship which leads to considerable confusion. The purpose of this paper is to consider whether it is the word entrepreneurship itself which is the source of this problem.

Findings The word entrepreneurship is used as a label for what sometimes are essentially differ...

Abstract: James Buchanan argues that profit seeking and rent seeking are formally the same sort of behavior, but that the substance of such activities — whether they create or destroy wealth — depends on the institutional environment within which they take place. William Baumol and Israel Kirzner each flesh out this distinction between form and substance in more detail but in different ways. Baumol distinguishes between productive, unproductive, and destructive forms of entrepreneurship, while Kirzner distinguishes between ordinary types of entrepreneurial discovery and superfluous discoveries...

Once a venture has obtained finance and made the transition to start-up, what determines whether it grows and survives, or stagnates and exits? These issues are examined in the present chapter and in chapter 14. There is evidently more to successful entrepreneurship than simply deciding whether or not to start a new firm. Many entrants create little value and do not last long, while others grow to a considerable size and end up creating substantial wealth. Clearly growth plays a central role in any discussion of value-creating entrepreneurship. For their part, policy-makers appear to be moving...

Business growth has become a major theme in the rapidly expanding field of entrepreneurship research. Entrepreneurship researchers are not alone, however, in showing an interest in business growth. Therefore, there is reason to ask whether and under what conditions the study of growth really contributes to our understanding of entrepreneurial processes. Likewise, there is reason to ask whether there are particular aspects of business growth that fall naturally within the domain of entrepreneurship, and which are at the same time given only cursory treatment within other lines of research. O...

Contemporary capitalism is in such a condition that the recent objectives of enterprises’ actions neither ensure that the owners of enterprises have any mode of justification nor guarantee legitimization by civil communities, which leads to destructive environmental and social implications. Making a profit at the expense of social and natural costs gets society in deadlock. Changing the vector of development depends on the interconnection of the social and the economic at the present-day life. In this paper we intend to propose a broad explanatory scheme of the evolution of the social througho...

This array of existing delineations indeed reveals that the concept of social entrepreneurship spans several diverse dimensions, each of whi...

Economic life is full of uncertainties and only thing that is certain here is that most of it is conducted into the dynamic environment; this brings a question in point though: Why individuals opt for entrepreneurship that involves a good amount of risk, and where there are little or no returns?

The relative ability is often overestimated by the overconfident individuals and so probabilistically, their perceptions for their actions s...

Thus Glazer and Moynihan (1970, p. 36) argue that ‘business is in America the most effective form of social mobility for those who meet prejudice’. Also, minority entrepreneurship can promote economic...
