A Study on Innovation and Entrepreneurship

J. A. Schumpeter justifies Entrepreneurship as creative destruction, proceeding from equilibrium to disequilibrium. On the other hand, I. M. Kirsner explains Entrepreneurship as innovative activity through recovery derived from disequilibrium to equilibrium. He maintains that enterprises make profit from disequilibrium. There are four kinds of Innovation; products innovation, process innovation, revolutionary innovation, and incremental innovation. New products are produced on the basis of research work through product innovation while existing products with new technology are produced through process innovation. Revolutionary innovation represents the remarkable reform from which new products are produced with new paradigm and technology. Abernathys classifies innovation into four types such as architectural innovation, regular innovation, niche creation innovation, and revolutionary innovation. Architectural innovation is innovation which brings about the remarkable technology changes and new demand creation. Regular innovation enables inexpensive and excellent goods to be produced through technology improvement, which is incremental innovation focusing on improvement of routine work. Niche creation innovation is innovation from which new market and new products are created with existing technology. Revolutionary innovation means to renovate technology paradigm fundamentally and negate the existing technology. According to Abernathy s classification of innovation, entrepreneur can be divided into four types; entrepreneurial entrepreneur, technological entrepreneur, market-oriented entrepreneur, and managerial entrepreneur. In conclusion, An Entrepreneur in these days is the man who exercises the entrepreneurship, which is risk-taking, innovation and investment for the innovation to create his customers value and finally satisfy them.
