Editor's Introduction. Entrepreneurs’ Behavior: Elucidation and Measurement
定义了企业家行为这一关键概念,将其与相关概念区分,并指出当前研究中行为定义模糊、测量缺乏验证的问题,提出了分类法和部分法来更好地定义行为,最后列举了重要行为示例。
Entrepreneurs’ behavior is a key construct in understanding how entrepreneurs create new organizations. We define entrepreneurs’ behavior as concrete and observable, and distinguish it from related concepts. In reviewing the literature in top entrepreneurship and management journals, we note that behaviors are poorly defined and the cumulative research is fragmented with often ad hoc measures lacking important validation in many studies. To better define behavior, we outline taxonomic (types of behavior) and partonomy (parts of behavior) approaches. Then, we offer a list of important exemplar behaviors based on the extant literature. Finally, we introduce the articles in the issue.
