Abstract

On the Knigths of the Capitalism and the Captains of Industry Entrepreneur can be defined as the one who introduces the "new combinations" or “innovations” to the economic and social structure and innovations can be defined as the endogenous causes of in these structures. New combinations lead to the changes in the parameters of the old competitive process and cause changes in the economic and institutional structure. In Schumpeter, entrepreneur is the creator of this kind of innovations. In Veblen, the basic function of the entrepreneur is to provide institutional changes by the means of technological innovation. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the roles of entrepreneur in the economic and institutional changes within the analysis of Schumpeter and Veblen. This study consists of two parts. In the first part, Schumpeter's entrepreneur and in the second part Veblen’s entrepreneur will be discussed within the context of the roles they play in economic and institutional change and development. Thus, the evolutionary process of the entrepreneurship, the different roles which they played in the economic and social structure and the relationship with the technology will be investigated under the capitalist society

Abstract

Girişimci iktisadi ve sosyal yapıya “yeni bileşimler” veya “yenilikler” ortaya koyan kişi, yenilik ise bu yapılardaki değişmenin temel içsel nedeni olarak tanımlanabilir. Rekabetçi bir ekonomide yeni bileşimler, eski rekabetçi sürecin parametrelerinin ve dolayısıyla iktisadi ve kurumsal yapının değişmesine yol açar. Schumpeter’de girişimci bu nitelikteki yeniliklerin yaratıcısıdır. Veblen’de ise, girişimcinin temel işlevi teknolojik yenilikler yoluyla kurumsal değişimi sağlamasıdır. Bu çerçevede, çalışmanın amacı, Schumpeter ve Veblen’in girişimci anlayışlarından yola çıkarak girişimcinin iktisadi ve kurumsal değişimdeki rolünü incelemektir.  Çalışma iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde, Schumpeter’in, ikinci bölümde ise Veblen’in girişimcisi iktisadi ve kurumsal gelişme ve değişimdeki rolleri bağlamında incelenecektir. Böylece, girişimciliğin geçirdiği evrimsel süreç, üstlendiği farklı niteliksel roller ve teknoloji ile ilişkisinin kapitalist toplum açısından ne anlam ifade ettiği araştırılacaktır.
