ABSTRACT (Abstract prepared by R. Kao) This paper demonstrates that the entrepreneur, the enterprising person and the small-business person, although related, are not identical. The relationship is clarified by defining the entrepreneur and the enterprising person in terms of attributes and by defining the small-business person in terms of the tasks he/she encounters. These definitions form a conceptual framework from which both traditional and innovative educational programs can be categorized and evaluated. Within this framework, an important role in enterprise generation is reaffirmed/established for existing small businesses through the recognition and structured dissemination of their “enterprise culture” in the educational process.
