“Who is an Entrepreneur?†Is a Question Worth Asking

James W. Carland, Frank Hoy and Jo Ann C. Carland

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1988, vol. 12, issue 4, 33-39

Abstract: This paper is a response to Gartner's critique of definitions posited by Carland, Hoy, Boulton and Carland (1984) for “entrepreneur†and “small business owner.†The paper concludes that both trait and behavioral approaches to research are necessary in order to understand the concept of entrepreneurship.
