    Main paradigms regardingentrepreneurship

    •   paradigm is defined as “A theoretical construct shared by a

    significant number of researchers” (teenage> or pre!paradigmatic stage+

    • Currentl$, there are four coe/istent paradigms aout

    entrepreneurship:

     – 8he opportunit$ paradigm

     – 8he organi2ation!creation paradigm

     – 8he value!creation paradigm

     – 8he innovation paradigm

  • 8/19/2019 Entrepreneurship and Innovation in a Regional Context_F

    15/40

    8he business opportunity paradigm

    •  n opportunit$ means a favorale occasion hich arose at thesuitale time, place and circumstances

    • >#ntrepreneurship is the process of creating or identif$ing anopportunit$ and pursuing it, regardless of the actual resourcesavailale”(7effr$ + 8immons, 1??)

    • 8o senses – The objective vision: an opportunit$ e/ists o*ectivel$ and the

    entrepreneur has the re@uired sensitivit$ to perceive it

     – The constructivist vision: the opportunit$ is the creation of theentrepreneur ho has the ailit$ to comine different elements of theo*ective realit$ in a ne and useful manner

    • 8he entrepreneurAs approach is descried as a process ofidentif$ing, evaluating and e/ploiting the opportunit$ here the focusis either on the opportunit$ itself (causal process), either on theentrepreneur capacit$ (effectuation process)+

  • 8/19/2019 Entrepreneurship and Innovation in a Regional Context_F

    16/40

    8he organization-creation  paradigm

    • 'ain representative: 6illiam B+ artner: “% thin that those ho are familiar ith someof m$ previous ritings on entrepreneurship are aare that the domain of entrepreneurship that interests me isfocused on the phenomenon of organi2ation creation” (artner, 6+B+: spects of organi2ational emergence, in Bull, %+=8homas, H+= 6illard, +: #ntrepreneurship – perspectives on theor$ uilding, 0ergamon, 1??D, p+ "?)

    •  ccording to this paradigm, the entrepreneur is the person homoili2es the talents and ailities of other people, provides thenecessar$ endonment and cause them to or *ointl$ for theachievement of a productEservice of a certain value+

    • 8his paradigm can also e found at Ronald Coase, hen talingaout The nature of the firm, indicating that usinesses are the fruitof entrepreneurs ho prefer to organi2e production in order to avoidtransaction costs hich otherise ould e incurred in connectionith the use of the maret mechanism for purchasing the samegoods or services+

    • 8he organi2ation is not an e/clusive attriute of the entrepreneur,ut rather, an attriute of the manager+ Hence the confusioneteen entrepreneur and manager should e avoided, mainguse of the feature of novelt$, hich is specific for the entrepreneur

    the resources that it holds in the property (capital)&•  To some e'tent, the entrepreneur can $e seen as a
