Entrepreneurship as wisdom

Alan E. Singer and Robert Doktor

International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, 2008, vol. 6, issue 1, 20-27

Abstract: The pragmatic correspondence thesis regarding strategic management theory and moral philosophy is adapted in this paper to apply it to the constructs of entrepreneurship and wisdom. Accordingly, a mapping between elements of both constructs is set out. The resulting qualities of wise entrepreneurship include (1) the selection of good purposes, (2) a mindfulness of the business and personal life cycles, (3) authentic prioritisation and (4) explication: the demonstration as well as explanation of enterprise purposes and plans.
