ABSTRACT

Theories and definitions entrepreneurship have taken a number of different approaches. According to Gartner, entrepreneurship has been categorised as a behaviour description; Gartner, Bird, and Starr discuss entrepreneurship as a type of organising exploring its relationship to organisation behaviour theory, at the same time describing entrepreneurship theory as emergent. Generalised self-efficacy is considered to be a personality trait of importance for entrepreneurs because people who perform highly in this characteristic tend to persevere when uncertain situations and problems arise, in order to win the challenge and also to find opportunities within the difficulties. However perspective within psychology, known as positive psychology, discusses the advantages and good qualities that people with dyslexia may have, compared to people without dyslexia. The highest aim of positive psychology is to re-direct the efforts of psychology away from a more remedial, reformative preoccupation with the worst scenarios in life and towards developing and evolving the highest qualities in a person.
