Irish-French economist Richard Cantillon
associated entrepreneurs with “risk-bearing” activity in the economy
economist Jean-Baptiste
“The entrepreneur is the economic agent who unites all means of production, the labor force of the one and the capital or the land of the others and who finds in the value of products his results from their employment reconstitution of the entire capital that he utilizes and the value of the wages, the interest and the rent which he pays as well as profits belonging to himself.”
Joseph Schumpeter
an individual who carries out new combinations of means of production by which there occurs disequilibrium
Professor Stevenson
entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity beyond resources controlled.
Process

“seeks to understand how opportunities to create something new (e.g., new products or services, new markets, new production processes or raw materials, new ways of organizing existing technologies) arise and are discovered or created by specific persons, who then use various means to exploit or develop them, thus producing a wide range of effects”
Brooks, 2009

Kao, 1993
“the process of doing something new and something different for the purpose of creating wealth for the individual and adding value to society”
Frederick, Kuratko, and O’Conno
“Entrepreneurship is a dynamic process of vision, change and creation. It requires an application of energy and passion towards the creation and implementation of new value-adding ideas and creative solutions. Essential ingredients include the willingness to take calculated risks in terms of time, equity or career; the ability to formulate an effective venture team; the creative skill to marshal needed resources; and, finally, the vision to recognise opportunity where others see chaos, contradiction and confusion.”
creating something new
Simply put, this is innovation.
value
refers to the worth attributed to something. Those who practice entrepreneurship must create things that are of value—things that people think are worth it. Value creates demand (the amount people are willing and are able to buy), and in turn demand creates revenue.
assuming the risks
We often associate the word risk with negative things. But simply put, a risk is an uncertainty. Those who practice entrepreneurship must be willing to bear the risks involved with every venture. They must have a certain degree of tolerance for uncertainty.
