Toward a Theory of Entrepreneurial Careers
指出创业与职业生涯的理论研究相互脱节，提出构建创业职业生涯综合理论所需的四个核心维度：职业选择、社会化、取向和进展，并给出了理论模型。
Parallel streams of theory and research regarding entrepreneurship and careers has led to a dearth of comprehensive theories regarding the careers of entrepreneurs. This article describes four core dimensions of theory that are essential in developing a comprehensive theory of entrepreneurial careers: (1) a theory of career choice; (2) a theory of career socialization; (3) a theory of career orientation; and (4) a theory of career progression from entry to exit. A general model is presented that articulates various aspects of theory building along each of these four dimensions. Implications for both theory and practice regarding entrepreneurial careers is also discussed.
