Abstract

In recent decades entrepreneurs have been particularly important for the economy because of their contribution to new jobs, innovation and flexibility. Each of the concepts of entrepreneurship considered in the previous chapter provides differing perspectives of the importance of entrepreneurs in the economy. Now the significance of small firms is considered, reflecting on the entrepreneur as an owner-manager of a business. Also the importance of new, and small, firms in a dynamic economy is discussed, reflecting entrepreneurship as the event of creating an organization, as a source of innovation and as a form of behaviour.
