Abstract(s)
Nas últimas décadas o entrepreneurship tem vindo a merecer uma crescente atenção por
parte de investigadores provenientes de diversas áreas do conhecimento. Pretende-se com este artigo
apresentar uma revisão da literatura sobre o tema de forma a evidenciar as diversas abordagens que
daí resultaram. Para tal, discutiu-se o conceito e objecto de estudo do entrepreneurship, propondo-se a
utilização do termo “empresarialidade” para designar esta área de estudo. Prossegue-se com a sistematização
das diversas abordagens ao tema, particularmente das que se centram sobre o estudo do
empresário: a abordagem económica – a primeira a surgir na literatura e que procura explicar a função
do empresário na economia; a abordagem pessoal – centrada sobre as questões quem é o empresário e
porquê inicia uma empresa; a abordagem comportamental – que procura dar resposta a o que faz o
empresário; e a abordagem sócio-cultural – que procura compreender a influência dos factores
contextuais que afectam a empresarialidade.
In the last decades entrepreneurship has become a subject of growing interest for researchers from different areas of knowledge. This paper presents an extensive bibliographic review which highlights the different approaches to entrepreneurship that result from its interdisciplinary nature. The entrepreneurship concept is discussed and the Portuguese term empresarialidade is proposed to refer to this area of knowledge. Then, the different approaches are presented and analysed, especially those focused on the entrepreneur: the economic approach which is concerned with the explanation of the entrepreneur’s function in the economy; the personal approach – which aims to answering the following questions: “who is the entrepreneur?” and “why does he create a business?”; the behavioural approach – focused on the question “what does the entrepreneur do?”; and the sociocultural approach concerned with the understanding of contextual factors that influence entrepreneurship.
