Entrepreneurship: society and resource management; a review of current scientific trends

Abstract

The article is a part of a larger analysis of the scientific literature on the subject of entrepreneurship and related trends of scientific research. The main purpose of writing this article is a review of international scientific literature on entrepreneurship with emphasis on the aspects of an individual and the society and resource management. For a comprehensive review, 100 topical research papers were selected in the following categories: individual, economics, theories, building relations, mistakes, opportunities, internal entrepreneurship, strategy, resource management and family enterprises. The article focuses on the actual definition of entrepreneurship and its aspects, namely "individual and society" and "resource management". The analyzed subjects provide material for future research. Suggestions on interesting topics for further scientific research are attached. It is proved that a common concept of entrepreneurship, “an entrepreneur is born, not made”, is false. Despite the fact that the term "entrepreneur" has existed for more than 200 years now, a radical development of the concept has become obvious of late. Entrepreneurship today occupies a central position in the economy, and every economy grows thanks to the small and medium enterprises and their innovativeness. Special attention is paid to the modern interpretation of entrepreneurship in scientific journals. A review of current scientific trends through the lens of the concepts of "individual and society" and "resource management" is proposed.
