Abstract: "Entrepreneurial Profiles" is intended to help students and practitioners of entrepreneurship think about what it takes to create a significant business -- not what it will take, because complexity, chaos and the fluidity of our changing environment dictate that the 'requirements' for any particular business can, at best, be known only in part, not just at inception, but at each stage as a company develops and evolves. Thus, the focus here is on what it may take to create a successful and significant business.
