Overview: The paper explores the capacity of the entrepreneurship paradigm to produce unique solutions for unique environments. To achieve this goal the paper argues the case for a wider entrepreneurship paradigm than that which seems to be the convention as taught in business schools around the world. It argues that the existing paradigm has been shaped over the past quarter of century by its pursuit of legitimacy in business school academe. Its true legitimacy must lie in the needs of key stakeholders in society. The paper concludes by arguing that via a process of institutional transfer the traditional paradigm has become dominant and as such may be standing in the way of the paradigm truly meeting the needs of societies at different stages of development and with different cultures.
