THE ROLE OF AN ENTREPRENEUR IN THE CREATIVE DESTRUCTION PROCESS
Abstract
Schumpeters concept of creative destruction explains the phenomenon of economic development
through an objective and automatically unfolding sequence of events connected with the appearance
of new entrepreneurs - innovators, and their influence on the existing enterprises. Innovations take
place when traditional production factors find their application in new, modern methods of
production, and their consequence is the change o f the existing industrial structure. They are treated
as the driving force of the sequence of significant events in which the entrepreneur reforms and
revolutionises production patterns through utilising new ideas or new technical possibilities of
production of new goods, or producing old” goods using new methods, through opening new sources of
resources or new markets for products or through organisational changes in industry.
According to J. A. Schumpeter, the entrepreneurs activity, involving the implementation of
innovations, is the main source of repeating waves of prosperity, which revolutionise the organism of
the economy and recessions, triggered off by the influence of new products and methods disrupting
current equilibrium.
The aim of the study is a review of J. A. Schumpeters views on the role played by the entrepreneur
in the process of economic development, and their gradual evolution caused by institutional changes
taking place in the system of a capitalist economy.
