An Alternative Approach

In: Rethinking Enterprise Policy

Abstract

The previous chapters in this book have looked at current assumptions about the factors which might influence enterprise and entre-preneurship and the apparent inability of current models, based on those assumptions, to explain the poor results of much entrepreneurship policy. This chapter presents an alternative model in the hope that it might provide a better understanding leading to better policy. It does not, however, present a definitive conclusion because, while the case for a lot of current strategy appears to have been disprove, the case for this suggested alternative has not been proved. Indeed scientific method suggests that such theories can never be proved: only accepted as apparently workable until such time as they may eventually be disproved. So there can never be a final conclusion to such arguments and this model, having only just been advanced, has not yet been tested.
