Handbook of Research in Entrepreneurship ― What We Know and What We Need to Know

In 17 chapters, entrepreneurship researchers from Europe and North America address specific aspects of research in the field: redesigning research, the subject across fields and concepts, embedding knowledge in insightful concepts and domains, and exploring new and old topics. They consider the importance of the multidisciplinary dimension of entrepreneurship, the use of the historical perspective, the power of analogy and metaphor, and the need for more qualitative methods; entrepreneurship from the perspectives of feminist and educational theories, the concept of culture, and the field of family business; entrepreneurial orientation, the psychology of the field, effectuation, and entrepreneurial finance; and rural entrepreneurship, illegal entrepreneurship, incubation, and entrepreneurial decisions.
