The word “entrepreneur” originates from a thirteenth-century French verb, entreprendre, meaning “to do something” or “to undertake.”

Say stressed the role of the entrepreneur in creating value by moving resources out of less productive areas and into more productive ones.

Schumpeter stressed the role of the entrepreneur as an innovator who implements change in an economy by introducing new goods or new methods of production.

Kirzner’s entrepreneur is a person who discovers previously unnoticed profit opportunities.
