Abstract
While entrepreneurship is normally researched as something positive, this paper illustrates the dark sides of the construct. This conceptual research paper applies entrepreneurship literature to generate new insights into entrepreneurship in organised crime and entrepreneurs in criminal organisations. Criminal entrepreneurship is found in organised crime, where criminal entrepreneurs choose to organise a criminal business enterprise in order to exploit illegal market opportunities. Entrepreneurial opportunities can be exploited in a variety of ways, depending on strategy and available resources. As organised crime is growing locally as well as globally, law enforcement agencies need to develop their understanding of strategic criminal entrepreneurship. Based on perspectives in this paper, the dark side of entrepreneurship needs to be further explored within both the legitimate and illegitimate business sector in the local as well as global perspective in future research.
