ENTREPRENEURSHIP STUDIES: A STOCKTAKING

Maria Minniti

A chapter in Austrian Economics and Entrepreneurial Studies, 2003, pp 9-37 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: In recent years, the topic of entrepreneurship has attracted increasing attention from academics and policy makers. Although much of the debate has taken place in business schools, its protagonists are sociologists, psychologists, organization theorists, and, of course, economists. The purpose of this paper is to take stock of this debate and of what we have learned so far about entrepreneurship. Using Kirzner’s theory as the starting point and unifying theme, the paper reviews works about entrepreneurs and what they do, the socio-economic factors influencing entrepreneurial decisions, the relationship between entrepreneurship and organizations, and the possible links between entrepreneurial activity and economic growth.
