Abstract: This paper presents a summary of research on entrepreneurs and discusses the trends in the development of the field. It begins by introducing the pioneers of the domain, Cantillon, Say and Schumpeter. The contribution of economists such as Knight, Hayek, Penrose, Kirzner and Casson are mentioned. A second section presents the contributions of the behaviourists and the characteristics most commonly attributed to entrepreneurs. From the 1980s onwards, the field of entrepreneurship exploded and was assimilated into almost every soft science discipline. Two separate trends - one applied, the other theory-based - began to emerge. Thus, the paper postulates that the field is in the process of dividing into two separate entities: entrepreneurship, the applied aspect, and entreprenology, the theoretical aspect.
