TOWARDS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY THEORY OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IMPORTANCE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The consequences of liberalized world trade for industrial countries are twofold.
New export markets
Jobs are shifting
Industries shifting to low cost locations
Asian countries are gaining importance
Germany trying to encourage entrepreneurship as a
tool for innovation
Unemployment is rising the relation of
entrepreneurship and job generation has became
center of interest
CONT…
Small enterprise creating more jobs
Entrepreneurship in the form of starting up of a
company can create jobs.
Entrepreneurship also act as a central figure for the
distribution of economically relevant information.
THE ROLE OF ENTREPRENEUR IN THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORY
Disappearance of Entrepreneur from economics literature.
Reason for the disappearance is the separation of micro and macro economics. Also introduction of neoclassical theory is considered as reason for disappearance of Entrepreneur.
In early economics entrepreneur has been considered as risk barer, innovator, industrial leader etc.
Marginal utility revolution at the end of 19th century was the beginning of neoclassical theory.
ENTREPRENEUR AS UNCERTAINTY-BEARER
Risk is consequence of uncontrolled and controllable change
Change has not occurred because of entrepreneur process but entrepreneur use changes for his purpose.
He considered profit of the entrepreneur as a compensation of bearing uncertainty.
THE ENTREPRENEUR AS INNOVATOR
Schumpeter listed five categories of action: The introduction of new good quality of a
good Introduction of new method of production-
some thing as yet untried in industry The opening of new market The utilization of some new source of supply
for raw materials or intermediate goods The carrying out of some new organizational
form of the industry
THE ENTREPRENEUR AS ALERT DISCOVERER
Focus-Price realized by entrepreneurs
Prices imbalance asymmetric distribution of information
ECONOMIC ROLE: Adjustment-prices-equilibrium
ECONOMIC PROBLEM: Information?
MARKET PROCESS THEORY (market= discovering+learning by accepting imperfect
knowledge)
Information- advantages for own profit Learning Competition
Aim- Maximize outcome Determine new targets
ENTREPRENEUR AS A COORDINATOR
Neo-classical theory- No theory on entrepreneurship
Implicit access Highly subjective to informationCASSON MODIFIED NEOCLASSICAL ASSUMPTION=
assymetric info+ transaction costs (marketing making service)
Entrepreneur as a coordinator- DEFINITION Dynamism, bearing economic uncertainty and
alertness Perception, imaginative
ENTREPRENEUR IN ECONOMIC THOUGHT
Entrepreneurship is difficult in economic literature
Kirzner-Entrepreneur is central element in market
process
Knight –Entrepreneur profit
Schumpeter-2 fold-
Dynamic and evolutionary perspective of economic
development
Identify the entrepreneur
ECONOMIC DECISION
Why certain individual becomes an
entrepreneur.
Model of Campbell shows that new
entrepreneurship could be stimulated by
higher profits for existing ventures , that high
profits attract imitative entrepreneurs.
Economic Decision Model , Baurnol the
development of an economic explanation of
entrepreneurship.
SYSTEMATIC PERCEPTIVE
The model of systematic approach to
entrepreneurship AGIL: Level of Social
System , Level of Economic System and Level
of Entrepreneurship System.
Function of social system
1. Concept of Systems
2. Concept of Homeostasis
3. Concept of thresholds
PSYCHOLOGICAL
Entrepreneurs are approx. 70% male
(decreasing).
Entrepreneurs are in their mid 30s
(decreasing).
Have a higher need for achievement.
Need for Independency , a prime motive.
THE BEHAVIORAL APPROACH
• The main idea is to distinguish between the
dynamic entrepreneur and more static small
business manager.
• The Schumpeter’s theory states- “ Everyone
is an entrepreneur when he actually carries
out new combinations.”
ENTREPRENEURSHIP RESEARCH SHOULD TRY TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
What kinds of activities does the entrepreneur
perform?
With whom he must work?
What basic roles can be inferred from the study of
the entrepreneur’s activities?
Where does his ideas come from?
Where and how he try them?
TO CONCLUDE:
It can be concluded that the theory of
entrepreneurship will be very difficult
to develop, the unsolved problems are
still enormous.
The whole field of entrepreneurship
research and economics is still its
beginning.
The empirical data on entrepreneurial traits give interesting
insights on the person of entrepreneur but for the time being they
do not lead towards the new theory.
Firstly, if Schumpeter's understanding of entrepreneur is widely
accepted and that it may very well serve as starting point for a
future theory of entrepreneurship.
Secondly the behavioral process, the entrepreneurial pursuit of
business opportunities becomes the centre of empirical research.
