Abstract

Whether entrepreneurial opportunities are discovered or created is a long-standing dilemma in the study of entrepreneurship. In our recent article (Ramoglou & Tsang, 2016) we framed this dilemma as false. Opportunities are neither discovered nor created. They are objectively existing propensities to be creatively actualized.
