Analytical and Applied Concepts of Sociology in Explaining and Training Entrepreneurship

Sociology has developed a different approach to psychology and economics in the field of entrepreneurship and has played an important role in creating and expanding entrepreneurial research, in particular issues such as ethnic entrepreneurship, network analysis of opportunities, organizational entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship based on gender and work experience.
In addition, theories and sociological analysis can be used for instructions on how to start a business. In addition to answering the question “why”, entrepreneurial sociology answers “How”question of entrepreneurship.
This article, by examining sociological approaches and theories and analyzing the content of research on sociology of entrepreneurship in Iran, shows that from theories and analyzes of sociology, practical concepts can be derived for the training of future business owners. In other words, in the analysis and explanations of sociology of entrepreneurship, there are concepts such as social networking and business opportunities, teamwork and marketing which are practical and important in teaching and training entrepreneurship and future entrepreneurs.
In addition, the findings show that sociological research on entrepreneurship in Iran is growing in terms of analytical concepts, but has not succeeded in extracting practical and applied concepts for entrepreneurship education.
