Abstract: Our case study is the story of a successful entrepreneur who, thanks to the second economy, had already been successful before the regime change, and who, after the regime change, was forced to build a completely new career due to changes in the institutional environment and became successful as an entrepreneur again. What kind of “entrepreneurial spirit” does he have and where did he acquire it? How can this be explained, and what factors combined to make him successful beyond the regime change and independent of the system? How did his experience in the second economy contribute to his success after 1989? These are the questions we seek to answer.
