Entrepreneurial Logic and Creating the Future

Saxton, Brian Michael

Abstract Details

2014, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Labor and Human Resources.
Recent work on entrepreneurial opportunities (Alvarez & Barney, 2007) has suggested a type of opportunity that arises endogenously from an entrepreneurial actor, as opposed to exogenously from the environment. The "creation process" used to form and exploit these opportunities is different from previous views of entrepreneurship. This paper puts forth a new construct, entrepreneurial logic, to define the capabilities necessary to enact this process successful. Consisting of trust, creativity, and teamwork, entrepreneurial logic will help the actor that possesses it successfully create its own future by being entrepreneurial even in the absence of opportunities in its environment.
