Abstract

It is difficult to define the business enterprise. We offer a philosophical definition within the Platonic tradition. Plato inaugurated the philosophical discipline of ontology in an attempt to understand better the notion of being and the different forms of beings. By its very existence, the business enterprise must belong to some kind of being, and we try to explain to which one and in which way it manifestly does.
