A Dialogue with William J. Baumol: Insights on Entrepreneurship Theory and Education
这篇访谈和评论通过威廉·鲍莫尔的贡献和个人见解，探讨创业研究的多层次方法、教育实验的必要性，以及创业作为多面现象对研究范式的影响。
This interview and commentary addresses key issues in entrepreneurship by highlighting William Baumol's contributions and his personal insights. We emphasize the multilevel approach that entrepreneurship research should adopt, and that assumptions underlying the research are too often unstated, rendering comparison between studies difficult. Baumol argues for more experimentation and government support of research on ways to improve the teaching of innovative entrepreneurship, since there is little evidence on what works and what does not. The discussion stresses that entrepreneurship is a multifaceted phenomenon that varies depending on context, the level of innovation, and its impact on society. Consequently, entrepreneurship research requires the development of an encompassing paradigm, appropriate educational methods, and study of the institutions that provide the most desirable incentives.
