The presence of entrepreneurial opportunity

Andrew Popp and Robin Holt

Business History, 2013, vol. 55, issue 1, 9-28

Abstract: Beginning in a critique of conceptualisations of entrepreneurial opportunity dominant in economics and entrepreneurship studies we draw on both the heterodox economics of G.L.S. Shackle and perspectives from phenomenology to recast entrepreneurship as an imaginative act of ‘making present’ unfolding through time and lived experience. We develop both the critique and the alternative perspective through a double reading of the case of T.E. Thomson and Co., a merchant house established in Calcutta in 1834.
