Institutional Theory and Entrepreneurship: Where Are We Now and Where Do We Need to Move in the Future?
回顾了创业研究中运用制度理论的现状与不足，并展望未来方向，同时介绍本期特刊文章如何推动该理论在创业研究中的应用。
Institutional theory is an increasingly utilized theoretical lens for entrepreneurship research. However, while institutional theory has proven highly useful, its use has reached a point that there is a need to establish a clearer understanding of its wide–ranging application to entrepreneurship research. Therefore, we will initially review the existing entrepreneurship literature that employs institutional theory to both understand the current status of the field, its current shortcomings, and where we need to move in the future. We then summarize and discuss the articles in this special issue and how they contribute to this process of advancing institutional theory and its application in entrepreneurship research.
