CONCEPTONS ABOUT THE ENTREPENEUR IN ECONOMIC SCENCE

Summary/Abstract: In this article I presented, in chronological order, a series of significant scientific opinions about the entrepreneur. For this reason-the selection of opinions of a scientific nature –didn’t present the opinions of businessmen, managers or economic analysts (some interesting ones). I started by presenting the classical concept of the entrepreneur: a skilled dealer (Cantillon), the owner of the surfaces of the field (Ricardo) and the owner of the capital (Say). Neoclassics extended the vision of the entrepreneur: Marshall (responsible person), Schumpeter (innovator) and Knight (risk taking). In recent visions, the entrepreneur is characterized as looking for new opportunities.,Kirzner and Rothbard. Gerber believes that the current entrepreneur is 10% entrepreneur, 20% manager and 70% technician, and Baumaol makes the distinction between the mimetic entrepreneur and the innovative one.
