          Abstract

          Resumo O estudo parte da necessidade de propor uma alternativa ao debate atual sobre o empreendedorismo intensivo em conhecimento, que tem privilegiado, em especial no Brasil, os estímulos políticos-institucionais como condicionantes do fenômeno, em detrimento da ação empreendedora propriamente dita. O artigo busca articular alguns avanços conceituais da teoria geral da ação empreendedora com aspectos empíricos observados a partir do comportamento econômico de empreendedores, em especial daqueles que manifestam uma orientação mais aberta ao uso comercial do conhecimento científico e tecnológico. O argumento sustenta a importância de complementar uma perspectiva corrente de que esses empreendedores decidem agir apenas quando são compelidos por condições objetivas dadas pelo contexto. Para tanto, propõe-se uma agenda de pesquisa para compreender como o fenômeno vem ocorrendo no Brasil, que atribua maior importância ao estudo do processo específico da ação empreendedora destes empreendedores do conhecimento, sua conduta estratégica e a forma como conectam trajetórias e mobilizam redes profissionais para perceber oportunidades e fazer escolhas1.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract This study emerges from the need to propose an alternative to the current debate on knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship, which has focused, especially in Brazil, on the political-institutional incentives as the drives of the phenomenon, to the detriment of the entrepreneurial action itself. The paper attempt to articulate some conceptual advances of the general theory of entrepreneurial action with empirical aspects observed in the economic behavior of entrepreneurs, especially those that show a more open orientation towards the commercial use of scientific and technological knowledge. The argument emphasizes the importance of complementing a current perspective that these entrepreneurs choose to act only when they are compelled by the objective conditions given by the context. Therefore, a research agenda is proposed seeking to understand how the phenomenon has been taking place in Brazil, which attaches greater importance to the study of the specific process of entrepreneurial action by these knowledge entrepreneurs, their strategic behavior and the way they connect trajectories and mobilize professional networks to perceive opportunities and make choices.

          An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change

          This book contains the most sustained and serious attack on mainstream, neoclassical economics in more than forty years. Nelson and Winter focus their critique on the basic question of how firms and industries change overtime. They marshal significant objections to the fundamental neoclassical assumptions of profit maximization and market equilibrium, which they find ineffective in the analysis of technological innovation and the dynamics of competition among firms. To replace these assumptions, they borrow from biology the concept of natural selection to construct a precise and detailed evolutionary theory of business behavior. They grant that films are motivated by profit and engage in search for ways of improving profits, but they do not consider them to be profit maximizing. Likewise, they emphasize the tendency for the more profitable firms to drive the less profitable ones out of business, but they do not focus their analysis on hypothetical states of industry equilibrium. The results of their new paradigm and analytical framework are impressive. Not only have they been able to develop more coherent and powerful models of competitive firm dynamics under conditions of growth and technological change, but their approach is compatible with findings in psychology and other social sciences. Finally, their work has important implications for welfare economics and for government policy toward industry.
