Finding Practical Knowledge in Entrepreneurship
认为创业学作为前范式的应用科学领域，主要特征是探索性研究，并倡导转向更有效的应用研究议程，提出基于拉卡托斯研究纲领的修改方案，旨在产出对企业家、政策制定者、教育者和学者有用的实用知识。
Research in the pre–paradigmatic, applied scientific field of entrepreneurship is characterized mainly as exploratory. This article advocates for a considerable shift toward a more effective applied research agenda. An applied research program is proposed based on modifications to a Lakatosian research program. The agenda extends beyond typical calls for more replication work to include a focus on practical outcomes, practical significance, and surprising findings among other things. The intent is to produce substantially more practical knowledge—knowledge that is useful to entrepreneurs, policy makers, educators, and scholars.
