Abstract

An emergent theoretic field in current business is the strategic theory of the firm, a result of the interests in unifying modern organization economics knowledge with the competitive advantages experience from strategy. Unification efforts comprise the quest for convergence between the key concepts that support the theory, out of which attention is drawn towards the agent of strategy: the entrepreneur. This article aims at identifying the main intersection and divergence points by relating classic economists (Say, Cantillón, Knight) with the most famous author in the theme (Schumpeter) and recent advances in strategic theory of the firm (Peter Klein), contextualizing historically the evolution of the concept. In order to do so, a bibliographic research was conducted by reviewing the literature around these main authors, highly considered in this theme, other than characterizing historically and socially each of the author's environments, providing a comparison and a critical analysis of key contributions.
