Abstract

The object of research is the process of entrepreneurship formation. The work considered some theoretical foundations of this process, the functioning of entrepreneurship itself as a systemic global phenomenon and as a type of activity. The research methodology is based on theoretical and methodological analysis of scientific literature, comparison of various theories of entrepreneurship and observations of the activities of various entrepreneurs. Description, analysis and modeling, and a combinatorial-logical approach are also applied to building formal models of the functioning of entrepreneurship as a systemic global phenomenon and as a separate type of activity. The results of this study show that entrepreneurship is a systemic global phenomenon characterized by a combination of productive forces and industrial relations, the task of which is to achieve a specific goal, and in turn, entrepreneurship is also a type of activity. In its activities, entrepreneurship depends on the influence of factors and preferences that it has. Various factors, in their specific situation, create boundaries beyond which the development of entrepreneurship should not go, but at the same time preferences create separate advantages, benefits or other benefits that arise in comparison with other factors. If in the process of entrepreneurial activity all factors and preferences are equally valid, then the enterprise develops harmoniously. But, if one of the factors gains more strength, while others lose it, a monopoly arises, which leads to the development of entrepreneurship in the direction of a political, institutional, social or economic direction. In the competition of factors and preferences, the law of force constantly works, according to which one of the factors or preferences always has the greatest influence, while reducing the influence of others. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that its results can be used as a reference material for entrepreneurship researchers or entrepreneurs themselves to assess their own situation and prospects.
