Abstract
While Jean B. Say defined the concept of entrepreneurship as improving resources utilization by efficient and effective manners, Joseph A. Schumpeter highlighted its connotations of innovation and risk-taking and especially in a holistic and long-term perspective. Following a Schumpeterian version rather than a Say's one, this article analyzes first why entrepreneurship was spotlighted in the global tide of private and public organizational reconstructions, beginning in the 1970's. furthermore, based upon a theoretical framework that contains the structural relations between the state and society and the corresponding political economy, this paper anatomizes the implications that can be derived from the concept of entrepreneurship to the pervasive government reinventing movement. This areicle also discusses the implication of the entrepreneurial spirit to the current government reform in Taiwan.
