Entrepreneurial and Business Growth and the Quest for a “Comprehensive Theory”: Tilting at Windmills?
回顾文献并基于特刊文章，提出三项建议以推进增长理论：促进利益相关者对话、关注增长过程而非数量变化、倡导研究视角和方法的包容性与多元性。
Even though there has been sustained interest in growth for almost 50 years, relatively little is known about this phenomenon and much confusion and misunderstanding surrounds it. Based on a literature review and the articles in this special issue we make three recommendations that we believe will allow theory to advance and be applicable in practice. First, that discourse between key stakeholders is encouraged in order to achieve greater understanding. Second, that focus is placed on “growth as a process,” rather than as a “change in amount.” Third, that knowledge production requires inclusivity and pluralism in research perspectives and approaches.
