The aim of this study is to investigate the entrepreneurial process of new venture creation through a psychoanalytic approach. Building upon existing psychoanalytic literature, the manuscript proposes a framework for explaining the entrepreneurial process that results in individuals forming ideas for new venture creation. The framework is composed of a set of interrelated processes explaining entrepreneurial behaviour through the identification of three stages: dream, business idea, and new venture creation. Though it acknowledges previous managerial and organizational literature, this paper focuses more on “the dark side” of the entrepreneurial process by stressing the unconscious mechanisms that encourage new business ventures. The proposed framework provides a more detailed understanding of entrepreneurs’ actions and offers new insights into the evolution of the entrepreneurial process.

这项研究的目的是通过心理分析方法调查新创企业的创业过程。在现有的精神分析文献的基础上，该手稿提出了一个框架，用于解释创业过程，该过程导致个人形成新创企业的想法。该框架由一组相互关联的过程组成，这些过程通过确定三个阶段来解释企业家行为：梦想，经营理念和新创企业。尽管它承认了以前的管理和组织文献，但本文通过强调鼓励新业务的无意识机制，将重点更多地放在了创业过程的“阴暗面”上。
