| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to discuss the results of a study designed to
identify different types of entrepreneurs in the process of converting
economic functions of the town of Paraty, Rio de Janeiro State, and to
analyze the characteristics of these entrepreneurs and their modi
operandi in this process. The theoretical review included research
about the processes for the conversion of urban economic functions
and types of entrepreneurship. We conducted a qualitative study
based on the case study method, using 23 interviews and
documentary analysis. As a result, we found that there were
traditional, modern and postmodern entrepreneurs in Paraty,
mobilizing capital and creating alliances and disputes within the
dynamics of the town’s economic function conversion process.
