- W274269265 abstract "There has been consensus about the role of entrepreneurs as change agents of economy, but no agreement on where do they come from and who they are. The evidences indicate that the emergence and characteristics of entrepreneurs are largely contextual and, therefore, cannot be generalized. Nonetheless, the significance of empirical evidences gained in a particular context to the body of existing knowledge and new learning can be, by no account, contested because proceeding from the general to the particular is often perilous because authenticating the particular from the general may not fit in a particular context. Also, the secondary sources often offer contestable interpretations and alternate views. It is against this background, the present paper makes an attempt to find out where entrepreneurs come from and who they are in a relatively less developed state of Assam in the North-East India (NEI). It is found that entrepreneurs come from a broad-base background and there is no typical entrepreneur as such. INTRODUCTiON Few terms have been discussed and deliberated so much in the recent times such as entrepreneur and entrepreneurship development. The reason is that entrepreneurs serve as `spark plug' in transforming the industrial and economic scene of the economy. Hence, entrepreneurs are also termed as `change agents'. Cross-country examination also reveals that entrepreneurial development precedes industrial development and the latter has become almost sine qua non with the former. The wide differences in the levels of economic development of different regions within India are attributed mainly to differences in their levds of entrepreneursrup development, Gujarat and Bihar> for examplet present ^0 examples of high and low levels of economic development with their high and low ievei of entrepreneurship development respectively. It is, therefore, J0681 put as «an economy is the effect for wnicn entrepreneurship is the cause. That is why ever increasing emphasis has Deen given to entrepreneurship development everywhere in the world including India. India is the number one country in Asia which operates the largest initiatives for entrepreneurship development. Then, the basic and vexing question haunting the researchers has been to exactly know what causes of entrepreneurship development in an economy. One way to answer this question lies in understanding the entrepreneurs in terms of their origin and characteristics. To begin with, let us present an overview of entrepreneurial origin in historical perspective. ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIGIN IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The term 'entrepreneur' which was used for the first time in economic sense by Cantillon (1755) in the 18th century has by now become buzzword in the economic terminology. The reason is the crucial role the entrepreneurs play in economic development of a country. They are regarded as change drivers in the process of economic development. That is why the emergence and development of entrepreneurs has been given utmost importance in entrepreneurship research. Many researchers have studied the background from which entrepreneurs emerge. To cite, Weber (1930) traced out the Protestant Christianity as a source for the emergence of entrepreneurs. Sayigh (1962), Alexander (1964) and Carrol (1965) provided empirical evidences from Lebanon, Greece and Philippines respectively to argue that entrepreneurs do emerge from highly educated background. Other researchers like Kunkel (1970) and Young (1971) reported that entrepreneurial talent is not equally distributed among population across societies and regions. According to Ronstadt (1983), entrepreneurs mainly emerge from between the ages of 25 and 45. Hisrich and Peters (1995) identified one's past experience in business as a source of emergence of entrepreneurs. Sharma (1980) identified particular social groups such as Marwaris and Paunjabis in India having high entrepreneurial talent. Nath (2000) has reported typical emergence of entrepreneurs by regions and social groups in India. …" @default.
