Abstract

According to the huge importance which is given to the study of entrepreneurship in the academic field, this article aims at analyzing the previous step to the personification of entrepreneurship in society, which is, the creation of companies. This research intends, mainly, to answer the following questions: what are the processes involved in this stage? Which variables should be addressed? And how does this process occur? In order to answer those, a bibliographic review was carried out with secondary data of some of the main authors in the field that have worked on the proposed theme. Based on the aforementioned referential, it was observed that, although the creation process is a topic of great importance in the field of entrepreneurship, providing value generation to the market, it is, as well as its field in general, highly fragmented. Divergent and independent approaches on the same subject contribute to this fragmentation. Thus, from the results already achieved, it has become more necessary for the next researches, to look for a greater cohesion of the studies in order to neutralize the diverse fragmentations in the field and to eradicate the existent gaps.
