Abstract: According to Baumol (1990), entrepreneurship does not always create social value but, depending on contextual factors (rules of the game), entrepreneurial talent may be directed towards unproductive and destructive activities, including white-collar crime. Following Baumol’s hypothesis we propose a theoretical framework for the integration of the empirical study of entrepreneurship and white-collar crime designed with intelligence and innovation, based on the combination of two competing approaches hitherto used separately for both issues: the personality traits model and the theory of planned behaviour.
