Abstract
The concepts of public and political entrepreneurship were introduced in relation to public administration in the 1960s. Early examples were constructed in relation to institutional change (Eisenstadt, 1964; 1980), the bridging role of the entrepreneur between different spheres in local communities (Barth, 1972), and the carrying out of urban redevelopment and social programs in local government (Dahl, 1961; Murphy, 1971). Although the concepts of entrepreneurship were used later to describe a variety of phenomena (Sheingate, 2003), there are few comparisons of the differences and similarities between early contributions to understand public- and private-sector entrepreneurship. The objective of this paper is to contribute to this discourse by comparing the early contributions of Joseph A. Schumpeter and Robert A. Dahl.
