Entrepreneurship is a multi-faceted phenomenon that can be viewed from different angles.
- the position of the entrepreneur both in the surrounding ecomomic system and within his/her own corporate organization
- the identification of the economic tasks of the entrepreneur
- the financial remuneration of the entrepreneur for his/her risk-takin activities, based on his/her economic motives
- the dynamics in (local and global) markets, seen from the perspective of the entrepreneur.
Nijkamp (2003, 401) highlites that entrepreneursihp menas also the management of business network constellations. The local environment (ingluding its culture, knowledge base and business attitude) appears to act often as a critical success factor for new forms of entrepreneurship. In the Schumpererian view entrepreneur is seeking for new combinations while destroying in a creative way existing constellations. It seems as though the modern entrepreneurial hero is largery a 'network hero'.
