Resumen

El emprendimiento como un campo legítimo del conocimiento. La investigación del emprendimiento se ha abordado desde disciplinas como la economía, la sociología o la psicología. Después de justifi car su estudio, defi nimos el dominio del emprendimiento haciendo hincapié en lo que hoy se ha convertido en el paradigma dominante, el proceso de descubrimiento, evaluación y explotación de oportunidades. A continuación, describiremos las principales perspectivas con el objetivo de ofrecer un marco conceptual integrado que nos permitirá legitimar el estudio de la iniciativa empresarial como un campo de conocimiento en su propio derecho. Creemos que este marco ayudará a los investigadores a reconocer mejor las relaciones entre los muchos factores que forman parte del estudio de la iniciativa empresarial. Por último, se concluye con unas breves refl exiones sobre el valor potencial del marco que se presenta
