“Who Is an Entrepreneur?” Is the Wrong Question
指出,创业是创建组织的行为,区分企业家与非企业家的关键在于是否创建组织,而非人格特质。研究认为特质方法成效不佳,行为方法对未来创业研究更有价值。
Entrepreneurship is the creation of organizations. What differentiates entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs is that entrepreneurs create organizations, while non-entrepreneurs do not. In behavioral approaches to the study of entrepreneurship an entrepreneur is seen as a set of activities involved in organization creation, while in trait approaches an entrepreneur is a set of personality traits and characteristics. This paper argues that trait approaches have been unfruitful and that behavioral approaches will be a more productive perspective for future research in entrepreneurship.
