Przedsiębiorczość instytucjonalna i jej formy w gospodarce – przegląd ujęć

Abstract

In this paper the author presents the concept of political entrepreneurship and provides a synthetic overview of the key approaches to it. Special emphasis has been placed on the idea of “business” entrepreneurs making direct attempt at changing or evading existing institutional framework in which they operate – which directly represents the idea of unproductive entrepreneurship presented by W.Baumol. Also, other approaches to the idea of political entrepreneurship are referred to such as political entrepreneurship by politicians as well as the notion of institutional entrepreneurship widely discussed in organization theory. The main focus of the paper is to highlight the very act entrepreneurial spirit manifested in attempts in changing institutions, especially in the environment of poor institutional quality.
