          Entrepreneurship, subjectivism, and the resource-based view: toward a new synthesis

          2008

          NICOLAI J FOSS Peter G. Klein YASEMIN Y KOR Joseph T. Mahoney

          This article maintains that the consistent application of subjectivism helps reconcile contemporary entrepreneurship theory with the strategic management literature, particularly the resource-based view of the firm. The article synthesizes theoretical insights from Austrian economics, Penroseโ€™s (1959) resources approach, and modern resource-based theory, focusing on the essential subjectivity of the entrepreneurial process. This new synthesis describes entrepreneurship as a creative team act in which heterogeneous managerial mental models interact to create and arrange resources to produce a collective output that is creatively superior to individual output.
