A Discipline's Roadmap from Homoeconomicus to Entrepreneurship from Economic Sociology to Sociology of Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between economic sociology and entrepreneurship sociology and to investigate the subject of entrepreneurship sociology. Methodology: By making use of the relevant literature, a descriptive analysis will be made, including the sociological perspective, and thus a roadmap for the sociology of entrepreneurship will be tried to be drawn. Findings: It has been seen that it is possible to make more inclusive analyzes if the social disciplines that are artificially separated from each other with the modern understanding of science are handled with a holistic perspective. Implications: With this study, it is aimed to introduce the sociology of entrepreneurship, which is a new interdisciplinary field, and to decipher the identity of the subject of the sociology of entrepreneurship. In this way, a road map will be tried to be drawn for scientists who want to work in this field in the future. Thus, it is aimed to contribute from the related field, especially to the Turkish literature. Limitations: In the study, it was tried to include the views of the authors that can be considered as the main moment in the related literature. Of course, there may be articles and books that have been overlooked by examining both databases and physical sources.
