Abstract:

Studies over entrepreneurship are conducted within the framework of different scientific disciplines and involve the use of a variety of methodological approaches. They cover many different sectors of the economy as well. The paper presents a concept of entrepreneurship based on structural (network) approach. This approach permits to perceive entrepreneurship as an activity of creating, conducting and maintaining an economic organization, determined by the structure of social relations and the character of actions undertaken within its framework. The described aspect of entrepreneurship was applied to the agribusiness sector by means of presentation of two research proposals concerning farms and firms.
