Summary

The theoretical construction of entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics is determined by the theoretical logic, realistic logic and historical logic of China’s economic and social development. It has realistic conditions, a theoretical basis and historical background. As a vital part of the system of philosophy and social sciences, the construction of entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics reflects the opportunities and challenges of the numerous changes unseen in an exceedingly century. It meets the imperative necessities of the Chinese nation’s rejuvenation strategy and records the sensible basis of the flow of innovation and entrepreneurship in China over the past forty years. The development of entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics is constructed upon the new development philosophy, Marxist political economy, and also the latest achievements of the fashionable western entrepreneurial economy and entrepreneurial management theory.

Compared with the micro-paradigm of western entrepreneurship research, which emphasizes the pursuit of profits and the exploitation of opportunities, the discipline of entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics has a unique context. It concentrates on the method of wealth creation of the state, society, nature, family and individual, together with international entrepreneurship, institutional entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, technological entrepreneurship, inexperienced entrepreneurship, family entrepreneurship and alternative academic fields. It highlights the distinctive native characteristics of the new development philosophy of the discipline system, the combination orientation of the educational system, and also the national innovation catch-up characteristic of the discourse system. This paper holds that it should be rooted in China’s long-standing business civilization and vivid practice within the new stage of reform. So, the new system will always adhere to the Marxist guiding ideology and learn from the analysis results of worldwide innovation and entrepreneurship.

Therefore, we summarize and advocate the discipline, academic and discourse system of Chinese entrepreneurship with subjectiveness and originality, and apply it to guide China’s innovation and development. The elaboration of the discipline, academic and discourse system of Chinese entrepreneurship can provide theoretical support for national wealth accumulation, good social construction and new enterprise cultivation, which contributes to the allocation of innovation and entrepreneurship. It is also beneficial for the promotion of innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit of a beautiful society. China Wisdom, China Force and China Program will be available for global entrepreneurial research and innovation entrepreneurship activities.
