Online published on 9 January, 2019. Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore relationship between entrepreneurship and deviant behavior. Design Conceptual development using cases as illustrative examples. Findings Clearly, deviant and unethical behavior issues are of surprising situation to companies, which need to find a way to determine m, on equivalent time as encouraging ethical culture. Feels that furthermore research is required using more qualitative and definitive estimations to research extra about one's practices. Value This study finds that there is an overlap between way deviant behavior is defined and way entrepreneurship is conceptualized in literature. It also finds that previous research, distinguishing between desirable and undesirable deviant behavior based on intentions or outcomes of behavior, insufficient in relation to entrepreneurship as deviant behavior. Reason is that for entrepreneurial ventures, underlying intentions are often good, but outcomes often not; and that making assessments of outcomes of entrepreneurial ventures a prior is notoriously difficult. Assessing deviant behavior based only on organizational level evaluations is likewise insufficient in relation to entrepreneurship. Research limitations The cases used to illustrate overlap between entrepreneurship and deviant behavior are conspicuous and not necessarily representative of entrepreneurship and deviant behavior in general. Originality This is an attempt at merging deviant behavior and entrepreneurship literature, which highlights an important niche with a great promise for future research.
