dc.description.abstract | Entrepreneurs are a category of agents who are found in all human societies and
their significance has been variously assessed. Although they are a universal
phenomenon, their repertoire of activities, thoughts, motivations and emotions
appear to be tradition-specific. This paper considers entrepreneurial practice in
the liberal, libertarian, and communitarian traditions. The first objective is to
determine if the primary ethical dimensions of entrepreneurial practice are
structured by tradition. The second objective is to evaluate the status of
entrepreneurial practice in the three traditions vis-à-vis common good. The
paper uses the conceptual framework of tradition and its allied concepts of
practice and narrative. It concludes that although the primary ethical dimensions
of entrepreneurial practice arise from a tradition, novel entrepreneurial practices
depart from tradition-set norms. It also concludes that entrepreneurial practices
can and do violate the common good—more so in the liberal and libertarian
tradition. | en_US |
