Abstract

The figure of the capitalist entrepreneur, as depicted in today's economic and managerial literature, links the possession of capital with profit realization, emphasizing investment as the driving force behind entrepreneurial action. The entrepreneur is thus seen as the ultimate decision-maker regarding the resources, assets, and skills they possess. However, this perspective fails to capture the essence of entrepreneurial action. By reducing the entrepreneur to a maximizer of assets under constraints, it overlooks the specificity of entrepreneurship. The possession of a specific asset is not sufficient to explain the initiation of the entrepreneurial process. To understand this process, one must adopt a contextual analysis and consider the institutional environment.
