One Man, Multiple Inventions: The lessons and legacies of Thomas Edison
Looking at entrepreneurship & innovation through biographies



There are so many different interactive forces impacting upon both the individual and the environment that influences entrepreneurship and innovation, creating new opportunity configurations. Looking from the biographical context allows us to examine the flow of events, the context in which they occurred and the impacts upon society these actions and events had. Looking directly at the biographies of historical figures can assist us in seeing the historical contexts of their efforts, innovations, or inventions. This may help us to understand how their insights occurred and opportunities were identified and exploited, showing us the reasons behind the trajectories these historical figures took with their inventions and innovations which impacted upon society?s future development path.
