Challenging the Myth: Why Entrepreneurs Aren’t Scientists—And Shouldn’t Be
The idea that entrepreneurs should “think like scientists” has gained traction in education and training—but what if this popular metaphor misses the mark?
In this provocative commentary, we critically unpack the entrepreneur-as-scientist narrative, revealing how it oversimplifies and distorts the entrepreneurial process. While the metaphor offers a neat framework, it fails to capture key differences in how entrepreneurs and scientists understand knowledge, approach uncertainty, and solve problems in practice.
By highlighting these epistemological and practical gaps, we argue that the scientific approach to entrepreneurial decision-making, though well-intentioned, may be misleading and ultimately limiting. Instead, we call for a more grounded, nuanced view of entrepreneurship that reflects its distinctive logic and lived reality.
It’s time to rethink how we teach, study, and support entrepreneurship—beyond the lab coat.
