The Promise of Entrepreneurship as a Field of Research* [chapter]

Scott Shane, Sankaran Venkataraman
2007 Entrepreneurship  
To date, the phenomenon of entrepreneurship has lacked a conceptual framework. In this note we draw upon previous research conducted in the different social science disciplines and applied fields of business to create a conceptual framework for the field. With this framework we explain a set of empirical phenomena and predict a set of outcomes not explained or predicted by conceptual frameworks already in existence in other fields. 218 Academy of Management Review January
