Abstract

This chapter suggests two inter-connected reasons to be against unconditional support of entrepreneurship. First, the personality traits that quite some entrepreneurs possess, since they make a good base for succeeding as an entrepreneur, are proven to be harmful both for organizations and their people. Second, the lack of formal structure and less bureaucracy that often is the case in entrepreneurial organizations, increases the negative impact of the entrepreneurs’ dark personalities. Therefore, the chapter suggests that entrepreneurs may create more problems than benefits and for these reasons it might be logical to be against if not entrepreneurship per se so at least unconditional support of it.
