Summary
Entrepreneurship as a more general field of research has exploded in recent decades. Many different scientific disciplines have contributed to the understanding of entrepreneurship. The definitions, approaches, and results are so diverse that the concept of entrepreneurship may well have become a “catch-all” term (Davidson et al. 2001; OECD 2008). Despite this broad scope, the entrepreneurship literature has contributed a range of interesting theoretical and empirical results, which focus attention upon specific dimensions of how and why founders, teams, and firms act upon the process of entrepreneurship as well as more broadly within the economy and society. Numerous articles and handbooks have endeavored to define the field of entrepreneurship as a research field as well as to define the phenomena and the appropriate lines of enquiry for future research (Shane 2000; Shane & Venktaraman 2000; Carlsson et al. 2013; Landström et al. 2012; Venktaraman et al. 2012).
