David Storey’s optimism and chance perspective: A case of the Emperor’s new clothes?
批判大卫·斯托里关于新企业发展的理论，指出其忽视了近期创业研究的重要进展，并围绕人力资本、企业家学习等主题提出被忽略的关系，以激发更多研究。
David Storey offers a novel theory to explain temporal variations in novel firm development. The article challenges this approach; it is suggested that it does not take account of important developments in recent entrepreneurship research. The themes of human capital, entrepreneurial learning, entrepreneurial prior experience, attitudes and networks and networking to illustrate ‘one-way bets’, which can shape temporal firm growth, are critically evaluated. With reference to these themes, the article seeks to stimulate additional research attention with regard to several emerging relationships that are ignored or partially discussed, relating to diversity of the entrepreneur, venture and external environmental contexts.
