Entrepreneurship As a Field of Research: A Response to Zahra and Dess, Singh, and Erikson
作者回应关于创业研究领域的评论,强调创业需要建立自己的概念框架,而非依赖战略管理等领域,并指出研究不应过度关注新创企业的盈利能力。
The authors respond to various comments concerning their article “The Promise of Entrepreneurship as a Field of Research.” They state that they have little interest in building walls between the fields of entrepreneurship and strategic management but instead feel that the field of entrepreneurship needs to create its own conceptual framework that is different from frameworks in other fields such as organizational behavior, operations management, and strategic management. They feel that focusing primarily on small or new businesses leads entrepreneurial research to focus too much attention on questions more pertaining to strategic management than entrepreneurship. They suggest that research can't be focused on profitability of new internet ventures due to the instability of this industry.
