Abstract:

[816] ... There is no consensus among researchers as to the exact meaning of entrepreneurship and the role of entrepreneurs. Clearly, there is a need for working definitions of both entrepreneurs and entrepreunership which distinguish between entrepreneurial activity in different settings and allow measurement and comparison of performance results. Entrepreneurs can be categorised into those who are profit-seeking, either working individually or in a corporate setting, and those who are not profit seeking, working in charitable, government and other not-for-profit organizations (e.g. universities).


The research project is implemented within the framework of the Action “Supporting Postdoctoral Researchers» of the Operational Program "Education and Lifelong Learning" (Action’s Beneficiary: General Secretariat for Research and Technology), and is co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Greek State.
