Historical Entrepreneurial Science is a research field dedicated to the
social and mitigational development of the entrepreneurial capital of
human societies. The entrepreneurial capital encompasses all the
cognitive and technical assets that have been in use since the dawn of
Mankind. Experimental History and Archaeology illustrate a nice manner
to consider the past and address its assets.
The empirical world and history are an abiding source of cognitive
resources and complex systems. We therefore suggest being the architects
of such resources and systems, outside of any space or time limit but
only depending on needs, to associate knowledge and know-how in a
similar way as the banking sector associates the holder of a capital
with the holder of a project. Developing knowledge and the know-how of
human societies may only be possible through social benefit and
mitigation. This added value will be dedicated to attracting the
investors who wish to perpetuate it.
Historical Entrepreneurial Science aims to meet contemporary social
needs through the use of empirical and historical assets in three
phases.
A. Identification of the social needs locally. The socialization of
mankind is mainly dedicated to security reasons. Consequently, social
problems are most often related to medical, energy, food, economic or
political insecurity.
B. Assessment of assets from the past. “If you don’t know where you are
going, look at where you come from”. This African proverb illustrates
with a noble sense of pragmatism the significance of the past in the
construction of a society on a daily basis. While socio-cultural
differences are strong in the oecumene, the fundamental human needs,
emotions and cognitive skills are universal. And similarities in the
history of techniques and breakthroughs between two ethnic groups
located very far away geographically from each other undoubtedly come
from the cognitive ability to provide a same answer to an identical
problem.
C. Value added creation. The basis of the economic system lies on the
association of Capital and Know-How. Wealth is the ability to use the
resources we have at our disposal. There is no natural resource, but
ways to work our environment. This wealth is dynamic, not hoarded. If
each individual, group, company, community can provide added value to
somebody or something, it de facto creates a CAPITAL – KNOW-HOW dynamics
which will inevitably attract an investor whose interest will be to
preserve the system so created… The aim of Historical Entrepreneurial
Science is therefore to create a durable social benefit. Financing
research by investment differs from the current objective-based
financing which subjects researchers to political and economic will…
Historical Entrepreneurial Science is built around the concept of
Kyuuninkai旧忍会, in turn built around the kanjis 旧(Kyuu) , which means
ancient, past, in the past; 忍 (Nin), related to survival, endurance but
also secret, and Kai (会) which means meeting, as exchange is at the
basis of wealth generation.
