Abstract

Entrepreneurship is the process of discovering new opportunities for entrepreneurial action that increase value and profit for the company and the entrepreneur. These opportunities are created by market needs, and entrepreneurs strive to meet these specific needs.
This paper examines the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) business sector in Greece. In this research, we investigate the operation of the energy market and the structural framework that laws, policies and administrative decisions create.
With respect to research methodology, we introduce a new theoretical model that describes the entrepreneurial process in the RES field. We define this new model as “Manipulated Entrepreneurship†and attempt to prove its significance through a quantitative survey of Greek companies in the field of renewable energy.
The empirical results of the survey confirm the validity of our theoretical model and highlight the existence of two distinct axes that describe business activities in the RES market.
