A conceptual framework for analyzing knowledge-based entrepreneurship

Abstract

The concept of knowledge-based entrepreneurship (KBE from now on) has recently appeared in the literature and, therefore, its investigation is still at a very early stage. This article presents a conceptual framework for analyzing the phenomenon of KBE and its impact on innovative behavior and growth of greek firms active in high-tech sectors. Linking knowledge-based entrepreneurship, innovativeness and growth of newly established greek firms can draw useful conclusions for both the firms themselves, and for formulating public policies to promote innovation and foster entrepreneurship in general.
