Creating the Future Together: Toward a Framework for Research Synthesis in Entrepreneurship
提出了一个结合社会机制、背景条件和结果模式的综合框架，用于整合创业领域的实证、叙事和设计研究传统，并以创业机会研究为例展示其应用，旨在系统连接碎片化的创业研究，逐步构建基于证据的知识体系。
To develop a body of evidence–based knowledge on entrepreneurship, findings and contributions from the positivist, narrative, and design research traditions in this area need to be combined. Therefore, a framework for research synthesis in terms of social mechanisms, contextual conditions, and outcome patterns is developed in this paper. Subsequently, a synthesis of the existing body of research findings on entrepreneurial opportunities serves to illustrate how this framework can be applied and provides results that inform entrepreneurial action. Finally, we discuss how this synthetic approach serves to systematically connect the fragmented landscape of entrepreneurship research, and thus gradually build a cumulative and evidence–based body of knowledge on entrepreneurship.
