Entrepreneur - Businessperson

Japanese: 企業者 - きぎょうしゃ

"Entrepreneur" is originally an academic term and does not correspond exactly to the everyday terms "entrepreneur," "manager," or "businessman." It was Schumpeter who established the concept of "entrepreneur," and in his 1912 book "The Theory of Economic Development," he argued that dynamic economic development is made possible by "innovation" or "new combinations" by "entrepreneurs." When an economy repeating static cycles enters a process of dynamic development toward a higher equilibrium level through "innovation," such as the invention of new technology or a new way of combining production factors, profits and interest are generated during that process.

Japanese:

〈企業者〉は本来学術用語であり，日常語の〈企業家〉〈経営者〉〈ビジネスマン〉のいずれとも正確に対応しない。〈企業者〉概念を確立したのはシュンペーターであり，1912年刊行の《経済発展の理論》において，経済の動態的発展は〈企業者〉による〈革新(イノベーション)〉ないし〈新結合neue Kombination〉によって可能になると主張した。静態的循環を繰り返す経済が，新技術の発明や生産要素の新しい結合方法のような〈革新〉により，より高い均衡水準に向かって動態的発展の過程に入ると，その過程に利潤や利子が発生するというのである。
