Entrepreneurship, Contracts and Networks

Keith S. Glancey and Ronald McQuaid

Chapter 6 in Entrepreneurial Economics, 2000, pp 98-123 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to build upon the major issues raised in Chapters 3 to 5, those of entrepreneurship in an individual and collective form and within a socio-economic and institutional environment. In developing these issues this chapter brings together key elements of the neoclassical, Austrian, socio-economic and evolutionary schools of economic thought. More specifically, the points which are addressed relate to the role of entrepreneurship in determining: (1) the nature of relationships between firms; (2) the evolution of production modes; (3) the economic and social mechanisms which govern relationships between firms, within production modes, and which lead to efficient resource usage.
