Soziologie des Wirtschaftlichen

Abstract

Joseph Alois Schumpeter, who “was one of the greatest economists of all time” (Haberler 1950, 1), will probably shape the thinking on economics and business for the next decades. For instance, Chandler (1962, 284) regarded Schumpeter as the theoretician with the best understanding of big business and the role of entrepreneurship. Even in the management literature, the writings of several influential authors, such as Porter (1985), are deeply influenced by the Schumpeterian doctrine.

The authors would like to thank Dieter Bögenhold for insightful comments.
