Chapter 1 in The Role of Fear for Entrepreneurial Venture Creation, 2015, pp 1-7 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract At latest since Schumpeter’s (1883-1950) theories, entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a major driver for economic development through innovation. Especially developed countries, like Europe or the United States heavily rely on entrepreneurship and innovation to secure their competitive position (Brixy et al. 2011; European Commission 2012). Not surprising, a critical part in entrepreneurship is the entrepreneur as a human being himself/herself. Generally, innovations are created by the creativity and visions of individuals and are not always the result of a rational, well planned process (Bull & Willard 1993; Kelley et al. 2011; Sánchez López 2012; Bhave 1994). They are therefore often more of an art than a science.
