Abstract: | It is shown to what extent the 80s enthusiasm for entrepreneurship is based on an ideological foundation and is, therefore, useless for management scholars and managers. The arguments are not directed against innovative ways for business venturing, rather toward an assessment of needs for systemic, purposeful, and theoretical treatment of management. The results suggest the end of the entrepreneurial age: instead of a "lone entrepreneur", an "amoeba" system of entrepreneurial autonomous profit centres and teams are described and analyzed. They constitute the nuclei of new business venturing within companies. This age of Postmodern Business focuses on the integrated process management based on a theory of autopoiesis. |
