Abstract

We introduce a conceptual history of knowledge expansion in the entrepreneurship field based on a logical mechanism of conjecture and refutation. Our undertaking interprets and explains the emergence, rise, re-emergence, and decline of key problem situations and theories through prehistoric, economic, and multidisciplinary movements in entrepreneurial thought.

Keywords: Entrepreneurship, history, opportunity, economics, market, neoclassical, Austrian, classical, knowledge
