Abstract: AbstractThis chapter foreshadows a larger project by the author, with others, on “Wisdom and Entrepreneurship”. The various personal characteristics and business practices associated with entrepreneurship are identified and placed in correspondence with some distinctive components of wisdom, including its ethical aspects. This new “correspondence” framework (cf Chapter 1) indicates several prescriptions for “wise-enterprise”, including (i) the selection of good purposes, (ii) a mindfulness of the business and personal lifecycles, (iii) authentic prioritisation, and (iv) explication: the demonstration as well as explanation of enterprise purposes and plans.
