摘要：Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs are two of the most popular topics of our time, showing interest to both the academic and the business worlds (Watson, 2012). On this issue, Thornton, Soriano and Urbano (2011) argue that there is also a common perception that entrepreneurship is associated to a heroic individual or an economically successful company. However, according to the authors, this conception can be considered as a fundamental error “based on the increasing evidence showing that individuals and entrepreneurs are socially rooted in located network structures of a specific cultural context” (Thornton, Soriano and Urbano, 2011). According to Watson (2012) and due to the fact that successful businesses are the consequence of both extraordinary individuals and the variety of interests associated to entrepreneurship, “there is an almost inevitable meaning ambiguity, which raises the concern of researchers about the possibility of a serious analysis of this phenomenon, wherever it may exist” (Watson, 2012).
