Endowed Positions: Entrepreneurship and Related Fields
更新了1985年以来创业学领域捐赠教席的数量，建立了一份涵盖美国创业学及相关领域的捐赠教席清单，回应了此前未经核实的约100个教席的传闻。
Just as nations take a small measure of their success in their counts of Olympic medals, academics and the media see counts of professorships and chairs as indicative of the strength of a field. For the field of entrepreneurship, Vesper and Kierulff provided an overview of endowed positions in the 1985 edition of Entrepreneurship Education (Vesper, 1985). However the field's growth since that time has been explosive. Recent guestimates of roughly 100 chairs have made media headlines and have stood without verification or rebuttal. This paper establishes a list of endowed academic positions related to the diverse interests of the field of entrepreneurship, taken broadly. The focus of this first effort has been positions in the United States; future versions will attempt to better cover positions throughout the world.
