Entrepreneurship Expansion Plan in Iranian Universities Introduction What is the reason for the progress of some countries? This has remained an intriguing question occupying the minds and hearts of many of us. Some scientists think the reason behind the progress of these countries lies in an element called “change”. The “agents of change” are the people who with their efficiency and charisma bring change to the lives of people. Another name for such people is “entrepreneurs” ; they have always existed in different communities and brought about great advancements in the lives of their fellow human beings. History of Entrepreneurship The term “entrepreneurship” is French worked derived from “entrepreneur” meaning “to promise”. According to Webster Collegiate Dictionary an “entrepreneur” is a person who accepts the challenges of an economic venture and is ready to cope with it. Entrepreneurship for the first time drew the attention of economists; they brought up this subject in their economic theories. Among different theories which study “entrepreneurship” one should certainly make mention of the 1934 theory of economic development by Joseph Schumpeter who is rightly called the father of the science of entrepreneurship. His view of entrepreneurs for being the engines of economic development was widely praised by many scholars. Psychologists, on the other hand, tried to determine their behavioral patterns. Experts of the science of management also studied it under such labels as entrepreneurship management, and entrepreneurial environment in organizations. Sociologists take entrepreneurship as a social phenomenon and try to determine the bilateral relations between entrepreneurs and other segments of society.
