“…Both management and finance scholars and those studying entrepreneurship attest to its importance in driving economic growth and social development (e.g. Ahlstrom, 2010; Audretsch et al, 2006; Butler et al, 2004), and the alleviation of poverty (Bruton et al, 2013). The Economist magazine concurs in describing entrepreneurship as ‘an idea whose time has come’ (2009a: 6).…”

“…There exists a need to establish a theoretical framework to systematically rationalize the mechanism of how Chintrepreneurship has influenced China industrial development and economic growth (Zhao, 2016;. The most controversial point is: whether Chintrepreneurship can be qualified and applied as a business model for both developed and developing economies (Ahlstrom, 2010;Audretsch et al, 2006;Butler et al, 2004), in terms of job creation (Phelps, 2013), poverty alleviation (Bruton et al, 2013), and social welfare as a whole. To this end, scholars posited that, to what degree entrepreneurship can contribute to economic development in developing countries is a fundamental question to be answered (Wong et al, 2005).…”

Is entrepreneurship the cause, or the consequence of economic development? Why does an economic downturn provide opportunities for entrepreneurship? How is the mechanism of entrepreneurship differentiated between developed and developing economies? How can the democracy and free-market based agent theory explain the mechanism of entrepreneurship in an autocratic and cronyism-oriented political system like China? Motivated to explore these unsettled conceptual questions, an extensive literature review and a broad range of interviews were employed as the method of this study to rationalize the formational and functional mechanism of Chintrepreneurship (China-way of Entrepreneurship) in boosting the leapfrog of China economy. This paper argues that, neither Schumpeterianism nor Keynesianism alone is able to theoretically reflect the path-dependent rise of Chintrepreneurship in today's dynamically globalized and diversified business environment. Instead, only the combination of the two camps can help rationalize the mechanism of how government intervention can act as an indispensable and irreplaceable adjustor of political-economical environment to cultivate entrepreneurship. Hence, the traditionally presumed tripartite framework (entrepreneurship, industrialization, economic growth) must be adjusted in order to offset or overcome the weakness of existing literature, and to solve the dilemmatic puzzle: which one of individualism and collectivism is more contributive to the mechanism of entrepreneurship? By defining a series of critical conditions and criteria, this paper proposes a BRIDGE model to rationalize the role of government intervention, and the observed trade-offs, such as the impact of dual-track policy on regional and wealth disparities in China. Two case studies and recommendations are suggested.
