THEORIES OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP: A CRITICAL OVERVIEW

When the concept of entrepreneurship is used in economics, the purpose of analysis is mainly to explain (i) how the market system works and (ii) the various kinds of income -especially profit- and their relation with entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is always linked with profit, and the main emphasis of this paper will be on the part played by the entrepreneur in economic process.Even though there are several approaches to entrepreneurship, to profit and to functions that the entrepreneurs provide in the market process, this paper will focus on the ideas of the Neoclassical Theory (in general, the ideas of Marshall), the Schumpeterian approach, and mainly the Neo-Austrian theories of entrepreneurship (Kirzner). All three approaches are critically analysed and both strong sides and shortcomings are introduced in terms of their implications and their applications in regulation of monopolies
