1.1 The entrepreneurial process
Sledzik, K. (2013). Schumpeter’s view on innovation and entrepreneurship.
Schumpeter Created the field Entrepreneurship & Innovation

Before him:
 One perspective was micro economical: rational, well informed actors in the market
 Other perspective: sociological: all behavior is governed by societal actions: demographics, family
background, sex…
 Schumpeter said market is someone in between: Market evolution is driven by extraordinary individuals-
entrepreneurs
 The market consists of people who are governed by market principals AND by groups

Schumpeter view:
 entrepreneurship and innovation crucial for economic growth.
 Entrepreneurs carry out new combinations
 occurrence of discontinuous and “revolutionary” change as the core of “economic development” which
breaks the economy out of its static mode.

,  Market growth is supported by extraordinary individuals (entrepreneurship).

- Innovation is a process of industrial change. Destroying the old economic structure and consequently
creating a new one.
- Allocating existing resources to new uses and new combinations
Relevance now: capitalism can lead to monopolistic structure and disappearance of the entrepreneur.

Schumpeter’s innovation theory:
Consumer preferences are given and cannot cause the economic change
Development= process of structural changes, driven by innovation

4 types of innovation/ development:

1. Launch of new product or new species of already known product
2. Application of new methods of production or sales of a product (previously unknown)
3. Opening a new market
4. Acquiring of new sources of supply of raw material
5. New industry structure: such as creation or destruction of a monopoly position

Anyone seeking profit must innovate

Dimensions of innovation:

 Invention
 Innovation
 Diffusion (=widely spreading of something=
 imitation

Motives of Entrepreneurs:

 Money???
 For the sake of winningcompeting
 Independence creating own kingdompower and independence
 Joy of creation
 social mission is missing

Characteristics of Entepreneurs:

 Intelligent
 Alert
 Energetic
 Determined
 They can be improved-meaning entrepreneurship isn’t something you’re born with but can be learned
by university education

They create innovation through change-through the process of creative destruction

Innovation:

 Is the creative destruction that develops the economy and entrepreneur is the change creator
 Process of industrial mutation
 Revolutionizes the economic structure from within
 Destroys the old one and creates a new one

Creative destruction:

 Process in which entrepreneurs create something new which is better than the previous solution for the
same problem and replaces the old one
 Entrepreneurs do that through combination of existing resources

,  Everything new is created from existing resources
 Result is profitschumpeter: profit is the reward

Entrepreneurship: Innovation and the actualization of the innovation

Schumpeter’s 1st entrepreneurship theory
Before: entrepreneur is the organizer and manager of production or trade and most often the employer and owner
of capital

According to S: concerns only functions and activities related to innovation

 Entrepreneur not necessarily the owner of capital
 Function: revolutionize the pattern of production by exploiting an invention.
 How? By reorganizing the industry, opening up new source of supply of materials…
 Breaking up old and creating new

Circular motion: as soon as a person organizes its company, it loses the entrepreneurial function

 There is no such thing as lifelong entrepreneurs
 It’s not the entrepreneur who receives a profit but it’s always thanks to him
 Profit goes to the capitalist-owner of the company
