Resumen

Los empresarios kirznerianos se describen como un individuo alerta apto para identificar oportunidades a través de inferencias subjetivas con base en la competencia de la industria, la desigualdad de precios y la interacción con otros actores del mercado. Están preparados para identificar y explotar oportunidades que
pueden no existir actualmente. Extendemos esta noción de alerta hacia lo desconocido mediante la introducción del concepto de “oportunidad fantasma”, ampliando la investigación previa. Aunque los empresarios pueden percibir inicialmente una nueva idea de empresa, no puede manifestarse en una oportunidad hasta que otras partes la legitimen al percibirla como tal, comprometiendo recursos. Por ejemplo, los inversores pueden simular mentalmente, cocrear o modificar de manera colaborativa una oportunidad propuesta antes de comprometer la financiación necesaria para lanzar la idea percibida del emprendedor. Este documento amplía la visión de Kirzner de la percepción y la oportunidad en relación con la lucha de los empresarios modernos para definir, legitimar y aprovechar una oportunidad.
