| Abstract: | This paper discusses the notion of development in firm organizations on the basis of a comparison with ontogenetic phenomena in nature and offers a behavioral foundation that highlights in particular the impact of bounded rationality, cognition and social learning. On this basis the paper explores the role of entrepreneurship and its cognitive underpinnings, particularly with regard to the nucleus (multi-person) firm, i.e. a newly started entrepreneurial business. |
