What is so unique?

  • 1.  What is so unique?

    Hello -

    As I accumulate some (still fledgling!) knowledge of entrepreneurship literature, I am consistently asking myself what it is specifically that is unique about entrepreneurs, and about the entrepreneurial role?  I know there have been many studies trying to differentiate entrepreneurs from other populations and such, but is anyone aware of any that identify what it is specifically about being an entrepreneur (i.e., about the role) that is unique (as opposed to a CEO, manager, lawyer, police officer, . . . , etc.)?

    Just curious,
