Entrepreneurship as Method: Open Questions for an Entrepreneurial Future
提出存在类似科学方法的“创业方法”,并列出开放问题以帮助学者阐明其内容,主张将创业作为必要技能教授给所有人。
In this essay, we outline the provocative argument that in the realm of human affairs there exists an “entrepreneurial method” analogous to the scientific method spelled out by Francis Bacon and others with regard to the natural realm. We then suggest a series of open questions that we believe will help future scholars spell out the contents of such a method and ways in which it can be put to work in the design and achievement of socioeconomic ends. At least one normative implication of accepting the argument would be to teach entrepreneurship not only to entrepreneurs but to everyone, as a necessary and useful skill and an important way of reasoning about the world.
