Absztrakt

The literature agrees that entrepreneurship is linked to economic growth. Most research in this area seems to underline the positive relationship between the two. However, empirical studies often lead to little or even negative correlation. One of the reasons for the divergent research results is the differences in definitions and approaches used. The purpose of this article is to examine the definitions and conceptual models used in the literature and to show that there is no consensus among researchers. This fact suggests that great care is needed when evaluating and comparing research results from different sources.
