Venture Capital Research: Past, Present and Future
梳理了1981年以来的风险投资研究，提出了一个描述风险投资过程的模型，并据此给出未来研究主题和方法改进的建议。
The period since 1980 has seen the emergence of venture capital as an area of academic interest and research activity. This interest is merited given the importance of venture capital to economic development and new venture creation. This paper surveys venture capital research since 1981. Based upon that research, a descriptive model of the venture capital process is proposed. The model is then used to develop suggestions for future research topics. Suggestions for improving research methodology are also included.
