Abstract:

[195] Entrepreneurship is a different subject. It is one where age is the dominant variable and not size. ... Entrepreneurship is about people in their roles as identifier of opportunities and the exploiters of opportunities. Moreover, recent theories of opportunity have shed the light on the role of knowledge, knowledge spillovers, human capital, agglomeration of knowledge and similar spatial structures as being the key to entrepreneurship.
